Dehydrated skin: how to hydrate your skin?

Hydrabio Sérum is the concentrate that generates instant and lasting hydration by strenghtening skin's natural moisturising functions.

Empower your skin to rehydrate itself

Hydration is key to taking care of your skin. Well-hydrated skin acts as a barrier against external stress and does not age as quickly as dry skin. While all skin types have their own particularities and needs, hydration is fundamental for them all, and the starting point for beautiful, healthy skin. The Hydrabio range was developed to strengthen the natural hydration mechanisms present in the epidermis.

Any skin type can have problems with dehydration. The effects may be more or less visible, but this water deficiency can provoque tightness, discomfort, loss of radiance, fine lines. Hydration is fundamental for them all, and the starting point for healthy skin.

Why does my skin feel tight?

Our skin changes constantly throughout our lives and certain circumstances can cause temporary dehydration: intense cold in the winter, air-conditioning and heating, exposure to UV rays in the summer, pollution, stress, medications... If this is the case, your skin will soon feel unusually uncomfortable and will worsen as the days go by – this is signs of dehydrated skin. All skin types can suffer from lack of water, even oily skin. External factors can alter the efficacy of the skin barrier which regulates exchanges between the body and the external environment, resulting in excessive water loss. Usually, the skin can manage these variations, but exchanges in the epidermis may suddenly become unbalanced. As a result, the skin becomes drier and dull and feels tight.

All skins need water!

Whether skin is sensitive, dry, very dry, combination, or oily, skin hydration is a physiological necessity for healthy skin. Hydration helps to reinforce skin’s barrier and make it more resistant. Even oily skin needs hydration to be balanced, as oily skin can lack water too.

BIODERMA'S Hydrabio range was specially formulated to re-establish skin hydration by providing the water it needs, without leaving a greasy film. Hydrabio helps recreate an effective skin barrier. It acts on the cohesion of epidermal cells to limit the loss of water and aquaporins, the proteins that facilitate water’s movement and diffusion in the skin. The entire range includes the Aquagenium^TM patent, which helps the skin relearn how to create its own hydration. Hydrabio’s moisturising products also stand out thanks to their very specific active texture which optimises the emulsion’s affinity with the skin to boost penetration. Skin is therefore instantly hydrated, with a lasting effect. Skin is comfortable and radiant.

A complete routine to hydrate your skin each day?

The Hydrabio range includes a number of different, targeted solutions to rehydrate your skin depending on its needs.

Hydrabio Sérum is an active hydration serum with Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid. It is the perfect concentrate to create instant hydration that lasts with a melting, fresh texture.
Light and refreshing, Hydrabio Gel-Crème is particularly tailored to combination to oily skin, which only needs water and nothing else. Its melting texture is immediately absorbed and doesn’t leave a sticky or shiny film.
Better suited to dry and sensitive skin, Hydrabio Crème has a creamier texture to leave skin feeling comfortable.
Hydrabio Perfecteur SPF30 offers perfectly hydrated bare skin with a radiance boosting effect as well as providing UV protection. It’s perfect for summer.
Hydrabio’s extreme hydration is also available in a Mask with an enveloping texture.

Good cleansing habits with Hydrabio

Unsuitable cleansing products can have terrible effects on dehydration. Stripping your skin will only damage the natural, already deficient, hydrolipidic film even further. For everyday cleansing and make-up removal, BIODERMA has created a specific version of its cult micellar water, Hydrabio H2O for dehydrated skin. The perfect all-in-one solution to remove make-up and every last trace of pollution each evening, as well as to freshen up skin in the morning before your other care products.
