How to improve skin hydration after 30?
With age, skin naturally loses its radiance and its ability to retain water.
Results :
- tugging
- dehydration fine lines
- dull complexion.
Yet, a few targeted adjustments can make a big difference. Here's how to rehydrate your skin sustainably, gently, and naturally.
Why does skin become dehydrated with age?
From the age of 30, the skin's natural hydration mechanisms slow down.
Sebum production decreases, hyaluronic acid content decreases, and the skin barrier becomes more fragile. Results:
- water evaporates faster from the epidermis
- the skin becomes uncomfortable
- the first signs of aging appear faster.
Dry skin or dehydrated skin: what’s the difference?
- Dry skin = lack of lipids (sebum)
- Dehydrated skin = lack of water, whatever your skin type
Even oily skin can become dehydrated, especially if it's attacked by harsh skincare products. It's therefore essential to boost skin hydration on a daily basis, regardless of your skin type.
The right steps to restore your skin's hydration
Clean gently, without harming
Cleansing is the first step to well-hydrated skin. Forget harsh foams or stripping gels.
Prefer:
- A gentle, sulfate-free cleansing foam or milk
- A physiological pH to respect the hydrolipidic film
- Maximum cleaning twice a day
Apply a well-formulated moisturizer
An effective moisturizer must both attract and retain water in the skin. The most effective active ingredients are:
- Hyaluronic acid (low and medium molecular weight)
- Vegetable glycerin
- Pure Aloe Vera
- Natural Betaine
Always apply your serum or cream to slightly damp skin to boost the effectiveness of the moisturizing active ingredients.
Seal in moisture with a protective cream
To prevent water from evaporating, it's essential to "seal in" moisture. Look for ingredients in your day cream like:
- Vegetable oils rich in omega-3 and 6
- Plant ceramides
- Shea butter or jojoba oil
This strengthens the skin barrier and protects the skin against external aggressions (pollution, cold, UV rays, etc.).
Natural care recommended after 30 years
The right natural routine to rehydrate your skin:
- A light hydrating gel/ serum, rich in natural hyaluronic acid
- A nourishing barrier cream for morning and/or evening
- A hydrating mask 1 to 2 times a week to boost the skin
- A specific eye contour if this area is marked or thin
Internal nutrition and hydration
Hydration isn't just about the surface. Your diet is a powerful lever. Adopt these habits:
- Drink at least 1.5 L of water per day, especially during periods of stress or heat.
- Eat fruits and vegetables rich in water: cucumber, melon, zucchini, watermelon, etc.
- Provide essential fatty acids via oily fish, chia seeds or virgin oils (flax, rapeseed, camelina)
