Your body needs hydration, and so does your skin. It's essential to prioritize your skin's primary needs, as healthy, glowing skin is often the first thing people notice about you.
Skin dryness is a common condition that can affect anyone, regardless of their skin type or climatic conditions. A well-moisturized skin typically experiences fewer skin concerns and maintains a healthier appearance. Once you start paying attention to your skin's hydration levels, you'll understand the necessity of keeping it well-moisturized at all times.
Even after understanding the importance of moisturization, many people struggle to achieve optimal hydration because they're unaware of the most effective methods. While there are numerous ways to hydrate your skin, the most effective approaches are those suggested by skin experts Dermatologists.
Dermatologists have extensively studied human skin to develop supportive solutions that provide exactly what your skin needs. While personalized treatments exist for specific concerns, several proven hydration methods work effectively for all skin types.
Way 1: Choose a Gentle, pH-Balanced Cleanser {#right-cleanser}
One of the primary reasons for dry and flaky skin is using harsh cleansers that disrupt your skin's protective barrier. While it's important to use an effective cleanser that removes makeup, oil, dust, and other impurities, excessive use of harsh cleansers can lead to severely dehydrated skin.
The Problem with Harsh Cleansers: Ordinary soaps and harsh cleansers often contain sulphates that strip away your skin's natural oils, leaving it tight, dry, and vulnerable. This disrupts your skin's pH balance and compromises its ability to retain moisture.
Easyderma's Solution: The Moisturizing Bar is specifically formulated to cleanse without compromising hydration. This Sulphate Free syndet bar contains:
-
Saccharide Isomerate (Vegan HA Booster): Acts as a humectant, helping your skin retain moisture for up to 72 hours
-
Tocotrienols: Provides Vitamin E benefits to nourish and protect skin
-
Shea Butter: Offers deep nourishment while maintaining skin's moisture barrier
Unlike ordinary soaps, this pH-balanced formula cleanses effectively while preserving your skin's natural hydration. It's gentle enough for daily use and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
How to Use:
-
Wet your face with lukewarm water
-
Lather the bar in your hands
-
Apply foam gently to your face in circular motions
-
Rinse thoroughly with water
-
Pat dry—never rub your skin
-
Use twice daily for best results
Way 2: Use a Hydrating Toner or Face Mist {#toner-mist}
After cleansing, your skin's pores are open and ready to absorb hydration. This is the perfect time to use a hydrating toner or face mist to lock in moisture and prepare your skin for moisturizer.
Understanding Toners: There's a common misconception that all toners dry out the skin. While alcohol-based toners were once harsh and drying, modern formulations use balanced ingredients that can actually hydrate your skin deeply. Toners help close open pores, restricting bacteria from entering while delivering a boost of hydration.
Natural Face Mist Alternative: If you prefer avoiding alcohol-based products, a refreshing face mist works wonderfully. A simple combination of rose water, glycerine, and a few drops of lemon juice can provide instant hydration and a natural glow.
Benefits of Toning:
-
Balances skin's pH after cleansing
-
Prepares skin to better absorb moisturizer
-
Provides an extra layer of hydration
-
Helps minimize the appearance of pores
-
Refreshes skin throughout the day
Pro Tip: Keep a face mist in your bag for instant hydration whenever your skin feels tight or dry during the day.
Way 3: Sleep with Moisturizer On {#overnight-moisturizer}
Nighttime is when your skin enters repair mode. While you sleep, your body works diligently to reverse daily damage and produce new cells that keep your skin healthy and hydrated. This natural healing process accelerates significantly when you provide external support through proper moisturization.
Why Night Moisturization is Crucial: During sleep, your skin's permeability increases, making it more receptive to active ingredients. Your skin loses more water at night through transepidermal water loss (TEWL), so applying a rich moisturizer helps prevent dehydration and supports the skin's natural repair processes.
Easyderma's Solution: The Ultra Moisturizing Lotion is formulated with advanced 21st-century ingredients perfect for overnight hydration:
-
Saccharide Isomerate (Vegan HA Booster): Acts as a humectant, continuously helping your skin retain moisture throughout the night
-
Tocotrienols: Provides potent Vitamin E benefits to support skin healing and repair
-
Shea Butter: Offers age-old nourishing benefits that deeply moisturize without clogging pores
This ultra-hydrating formula works while you sleep, ensuring you wake up with soft, supple, and well-hydrated skin. Unlike heavy creams that feel greasy, this lotion absorbs quickly while providing intense, long-lasting moisture.
Night-time Moisturizing Routine:
-
Cleanse your face thoroughly with Moisturizing Bar
-
Apply toner or face mist while skin is still slightly damp
-
Take a small amount of Ultra Moisturizing Lotion
-
Apply to your face and neck using gentle upward strokes
-
Allow it to absorb fully before sleeping
-
Wake up to refreshed, hydrated skin
Way 4: Maintain Your Water Intake Cycle {#water-intake}
The age-old and most effective way to hydrate your skin is to actually consume adequate water. External moisturizers work on the surface, but true, lasting hydration comes from within. Regulating your water intake helps immensely in maintaining the necessary hydration level throughout your skin's layers.
How Much Water Do You Need? The general recommendation is 8-10 glasses (approximately 2-3 liters) of water daily. However, this can vary based on:
-
Your body weight and height
-
Activity level and exercise routine
-
Climate and weather conditions
-
Overall health status
Benefits of Proper Hydration:
-
Flushes out toxins from your body
-
Maintains skin elasticity and suppleness
-
Reduces the appearance of fine lines
-
Gives your skin a natural, healthy glow
-
Supports overall skin barrier function
-
Helps regulate oil production
Tips to Increase Water Intake:
-
Start your day with a glass of water
-
Keep a water bottle with you at all times
-
Set reminders on your phone
-
Drink water before each meal
-
Add natural flavors like lemon or cucumber if plain water feels boring
The Connection: When your body is well-hydrated internally, your skin cells function optimally. Water helps deliver essential nutrients to skin cells and flush out waste products, resulting in clearer, more radiant skin.
Way 5: Eat Water-Rich Foods {#hydrating-foods}
Your body needs to compensate for water loss throughout the day. While it's not always practical to have constant access to water—especially when you're busy at work or traveling—you shouldn't let your skin suffer from dehydration. Incorporating water-rich foods into your diet is an excellent way to maintain hydration levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How often should I moisturize my skin?
You should moisturize at least twice daily once in the morning after cleansing and once at night before bed. If your skin feels dry during the day, you can reapply moisturizer or use a hydrating face mist. During winter or in dry climates, you may need to moisturize more frequently.
Q2: Can drinking more water really improve my skin's hydration?
Yes, absolutely! While topical moisturizers work on the skin's surface, drinking adequate water hydrates your skin from within. Water helps flush toxins, deliver nutrients to skin cells, and maintain skin elasticity. For optimal results, combine internal hydration (drinking water, eating water-rich foods) with external moisturization (quality skincare products).
Q3: Is it necessary to use both a cleanser and moisturizer, or can I use just one?
Both are essential for different reasons. Cleansing removes dirt, oil, and impurities that can clog pores and dull your complexion. However, cleansing can also remove some natural oils, which is why moisturizing immediately after is crucial. Using Easyderma's Moisturizing Bar followed by Ultra Moisturizing Lotion ensures your skin is clean and well-hydrated.
Q4: My skin is oily do I still need to moisturize?
Yes! This is a common misconception. When oily skin lacks moisture, it often produces even more oil to compensate, creating a vicious cycle. Using a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer like Easyderma's Ultra Moisturizing Lotion helps balance your skin's oil production while providing necessary hydration.
Q5: What's the difference between hydration and moisturization?
Hydration refers to increasing water content in your skin cells, while moisturization means preventing water loss from your skin's surface. Ingredients like Saccharide Isomerate act as humectants (drawing water into skin), while ingredients like Shea Butter act as emollients (sealing in moisture). Easyderma products provide both hydration and moisturization for comprehensive skin support.
