At Luna Selene, we believe in beauty that flows from within—where self-care rituals are not just about what you apply to your skin but also about how you nourish yourself. Hydration is the foundation of glowing, healthy skin, and when combined with the power of hyaluronic acid, it becomes a transformative force. Let’s explore why drinking enough water and incorporating hyaluronic acid into your skincare routine is the ultimate duo for radiant, plump skin.
The Beauty Benefits of Staying Hydrated
Water is often referred to as the elixir of life, and for good reason. Every cell in your body, including those in your skin, relies on water to function optimally. When you’re properly hydrated:
- Your skin looks plumper and firmer – Water supports elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines.
- You get a natural glow – Hydration helps flush out toxins that can cause dullness and breakouts.
- Your skin barrier stays strong – Proper hydration helps maintain the skin’s protective barrier, preventing dryness and irritation.
- Your complexion stays balanced – Dehydration can cause excess oil production, leading to breakouts.
A good rule of thumb is to drink at least 1.5 to 2 litres of water a day, but your body’s needs may vary based on climate, activity levels, and skin type. Herbal teas and water-rich foods like cucumber and watermelon also contribute to your hydration levels.
Why Hyaluronic Acid is a Skincare Essential
While drinking water is essential, it doesn’t automatically mean your skin will stay hydrated—especially when external factors like weather, pollution, and ageing come into play. This is where hyaluronic acid (HA) steps in as a skincare saviour.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that acts like a moisture magnet, attracting and holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water. When applied to the skin, it:
- Deeply hydrates – HA draws moisture into the skin, keeping it plump and supple.
- Smooths fine lines – By boosting hydration levels, skin appears smoother and more youthful.
- Strengthens the skin barrier – A well-hydrated skin barrier is more resilient against environmental stressors.
- Works for all skin types – Whether your skin is dry, oily, or sensitive, hyaluronic acid delivers lightweight hydration without clogging pores.
How to Maximise Hydration in Your Skincare Routine
To truly reap the benefits of hydration, your skincare routine should work hand in hand with your internal hydration habits. Here’s the best way to layer moisture for long-lasting results:
- Start with clean, slightly damp skin – Apply our Lunar Radiance Citrus Toner Elixir after cleansing with our Alpha Glow Botanical Cleansing Balm.
- Apply a hyaluronic acid serum – Our Lacus Temporis Pro Collagen Serum is formulated with hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate and boost collagen production.
- Seal in the moisture – Follow with a nourishing moisturiser or facial oil to prevent water loss and keep skin hydrated throughout the day.
- Drink plenty of water – Keep a water bottle nearby as a reminder to stay hydrated from the inside out.
