Why does my skin feel dehydrated even with moisturizer?

Having dehydrated skin despite using moisturizer is a common and frustrating problem. You apply your moisturizer every day, but your skin continues to feel tight, lack radiance, and show signs of dryness. Why? Here are some possible causes, tips for addressing them, and the perfect solution for finally hydrated and radiant skin.

Dehydrated or dry skin?

Before we get into solutions, it's essential to understand what skin dehydration is. Unlike dry skin , which lacks lipids (or natural oils), dehydrated skin lacks water . This can happen for several reasons, such as climate change, an inadequate skincare routine, or excessive exposure to drying factors, such as winter heating or air conditioning.

Causes of dehydration despite using moisturizer

Factor 1: a weakened skin barrier

The skin barrier acts as a shield that keeps water and essential nutrients inside the skin. If this barrier is damaged, moisture evaporates quickly, and your moisturizer may struggle to compensate for this loss. Skincare rich in ceramides and fatty acids can help repair this barrier.

Factor 2: Ingredients that don't penetrate deep enough

Some moisturizers stay on the surface and don't hydrate deeply , which can leave skin feeling tight despite the application of care . For optimal hydration , it's essential to choose a cream with ingredients that can effectively penetrate and retain water in all layers of the skin . A multi-function cream, like 124 LActive face cream , is ideal for all skin types . Enriched with moisturizing and nourishing active ingredients with complementary functions, it provides deep hydration for your dehydrated skin .

Factor 3: A lack of hydrating serum in your routine

A cream alone may not be enough for skin lacking moisture. In fact, applying a hydrating serum before the cream helps to better retain moisture . Try 123 LActive face serum , which, thanks to its concentration of hyaluronic acid and CBD (cannabidiol) , helps replenish moisture levels deep down.

Factor 4: Environment and lifestyle habits

Your lifestyle and environment play a key role in skin dehydration . For example, drinking too much coffee or alcohol, low water intake, or a dry climate can all contribute to moisture loss 💧.

2. Tips to optimize your skin's hydration

Now that you know the reasons for this persistent dehydration , here are some simple tips to optimize your skin's hydration ☝🏼.

Tip 1: Use a multi-purpose moisturizer

Choose a moisturizer that delivers deep , long-lasting hydration that's right for your skin type (or all skin types). 124 LActive Face Cream combines powerful hydrating ingredients ( CBD and aloe vera ) that hydrate and draw water into the skin's upper layers. Gently massage it onto slightly damp skin to optimize absorption and maximize its hydrating benefits.

Tip 2: Apply a hydrating serum as a complement

Hydrating serum is your best friend for glowing skin! Before your cream, apply a few drops of 123 LActive face serum , rich in hyaluronic acid and CBD (cannabidiol) . The latter helps retain water in the skin and maintain hydration throughout the day.

Tip 3: Drink more water and adopt a good sleep routine

It is not enough to apply products for well-hydrated skin . You've probably heard it (and it's true!): your lifestyle plays a key role in the appearance of your skin. Make sure you drink at least 1.5 liters of water a day and get enough sleep. These two habits promote the skin's moisture balance from the inside out. Simple, easy-to-implement, common-sense advice for naturally glowing skin!
