A dehydrated and dry skin leads to defined lines, wrinkles and breakouts. It is important to hydrate by drinking water, using a Hydrogel Mask and moisturizer. Just like water is life for plants, water is life for our skin and body. By moisturizing and hydrating, our skin begins to appear smooth and full of life. Nourishing our skin with hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramides and essential oils can boost the elasticity and skin appearance. Why does this happen? Skin cells maintain their cellular function when they are fully hydrated, keeping the skin looking youthful and plum.

HOW TO USE FOR BEST RESULTS?

Use a hydrating toner before applying a hydrogel mask. Toners helps with fuller absorption of the Hydrogel Mask and it’s properties. Once the mask is on, the hydrogel locks moisture and releases nourishing serums into the skin. After removing the mask, tap the serums into the skin until its fully absorbed. Lock in the hydrated skin with your moisturizer. DON’T TOSS THE MASK. Grab the hydrogel mask and dissolve the serum in warm water and dip your hands or feet. This will hydrate your hands/feet for softer feel.
