How to Properly Hydrate Your Facial Skin?

On a daily basis, our skin is exposed to numerous aggressors: pollution, temperature variations, stress, make-up and more. The result is weakened skin that feels tight, loses radiance and suppleness. The solution lies in tailored, deep and regular hydration. But how can you hydrate facial skin effectively and naturally, while respecting your skin type? Discover our expert advice, advanced formulas and targeted treatments to sustainably restore the hydrolipidic barrier and enhance your skin’s natural beauty.

Why hydrate your skin naturally?

Natural hydration is one of the fundamental pillars of healthy skin. Well-hydrated skin is more supple, smoother and better equipped to resist external aggressors. It retains its vitality, luminosity and youthful appearance for longer.

Conversely, dehydrated skin, whether dry or combination, can quickly become uncomfortable, dull and more prone to premature wrinkles. In this case, the skin is not lacking lipids, as with dry skin, but water. That is why it is essential to provide the epidermis with the hydration it needs, without overwhelming it.

Choosing natural hydrating skincare, rich in marine or plant-based ingredients, helps respect the skin’s physiology while acting deep within. Formulas with a high concentration of naturally derived ingredients are particularly recommended for sensitive or reactive skin.

Which ingredients help hydrate the skin?

Our hydrating facial skincare is formulated around a selection of powerful actives that work in synergy to deliver 360-degree hydration. The OCEAN HYDRA range concentrates performance and expertise, combining dermocosmetics with potent marine ingredients derived from advanced biotechnologies. The key ingredients in our formulas include:

Propanediol creates a protective film on the skin to limit transepidermal water loss while attracting moisture from the air, ensuring intense hydration even in dry or cold environments.

HA-Like Active is comparable to the hyaluronic acid naturally present in the skin. This marine-derived active has excellent skin affinity and improves texture, radiance and overall comfort.

Shea Butter is an essential ingredient for dry skin. Composed of plant oils and essential fatty acids, it deeply nourishes the skin and restores its lipid balance.

High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid binds to the surface of the epidermis to create a long-lasting hydration shield. It plumps the skin and smooths fine lines caused by dehydration.

Red Algae Kappaphycus Alvarezii Complex combined with Seawater forms a biomimetic complex rich in essential marine minerals. It soothes, remineralises and repairs the skin barrier while boosting the skin’s water reserves.

Chondrus Crispus Red Algae thrives in extreme conditions and produces polysaccharides with highly hydrating properties. It leaves the skin soft, soothed and immediately hydrated.

Thanks to these high-performance formulas, our hydrating face creams deliver visible results from the very first applications.

What are the risks of dehydrated skin?

A lack of skin hydration can affect all skin types, including oily skin. It often results from an imbalance of the hydrolipidic film, which no longer fulfils its protective role. The causes are numerous: sun exposure, heating or air conditioning, unsuitable products, aggressive cleansing or the absence of a dedicated hydrating step in the skincare routine.

The signs of dehydrated skin are easy to recognise: tightness, discomfort, dehydration lines, a dull complexion and uneven skin texture. Without appropriate care, the skin becomes more vulnerable and ages prematurely.

To prevent these effects, it is essential to hydrate the face daily, morning and night, with suitable products rich in naturally derived ingredients.
