The Secret of Moisturizing Skin
Hidden in the water
Water is very important to maintain a healthy skin state. It can almost be said that without water, various physiological functions of skin are difficult to operate.
When the water content of the stratum corneum of the skin is 20% ~ 35%, most of the skin looks healthy, full, moist and elastic.

Moderate hydration and skin care
Excessive hydration destroys skin
In theory, it is not a dream to have tender skin as long as you eat, drink and sleep well, plus reasonable hydration and moisturization.
However, this is only an ideal state, and many times additional skin care products are still needed to replenish water.
It should be noted that using skin care products to replenish water is like watering flowers. Too much water will wither flowers.
Extra hydration to the skin may lead to skin barrier dysfunction and even induce skin problems such as hydrated dermatitis and acne, making your face look potholed and tattered.

Through the use of humidifiers, the humidity of the air is increased, the evaporation of water on the skin surface is reduced, and the skin is not too dry, thus producing reactions such as tightness, redness, peeling, tingling, etc.
Moisturizing and moisturizing products are wiped up.
Timely use of appropriate hydrating products is the correct posture for skin hydrating.
