Keeping your skin and hair hydrated is essential year-round. From environmental stressors to lifestyle habits, many factors can lead to dryness, leaving your beauty routine in need of a moisture boost. At LANGTON, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy glow, which is why we’re sharing our top hydration tips to keep your skin and hair looking and feeling their best, no matter the season!
Makeup that Moisturizes
Creamy is Key
Swap out your powder-based products for lightweight, cream or liquid formulas. These tend to be more hydrating and won’t accentuate dry patches on your skin. This includes opting for tinted moisturizers, skin tints, or BB creams instead of heavy foundations. If you prefer foundation, mixing in a drop or two of serum or moisturizer can help create a dewy, hydrated finish. A great serum to try mixing in is Vasanti’s Glow Boosting Serum, which not only adds hydration but also gives your skin a natural, radiant glow!
Primer Power
A hydrating primer is a makeup essential! It creates a smooth canvas for your makeup, preventing it from settling into fine lines or clinging to dry patches, while adding an extra layer of moisture to combat dryness throughout the day. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin, such as those found in Stila’s Stay All Day® 10-In-1 Illuminating Skin Veil. This priming balm is enriched with skin-loving ingredients that help improve the appearance of skin tone and texture while also hydrating and nourishing your skin.
Lip TLC
Dry lips can be frustrating. A simple switch to a hydrating gloss, a tinted lip balm, or an overnight lip mask can make a huge difference. Vaseline is a classic lip care option that’s always reliable for keeping lips smooth and hydrated. Another great choice is Teaology’s Tea Balm Tinted Lip Treatment, which comes in a variety of shades. It adds a beautiful tint of colour while soothing and regenerating chapped lips, making it a perfect lip savior to keep on hand at all times!
Hair Hydration
Mask Magic
Deep conditioning masks deliver intense hydration, preventing breakage and frizz. We suggest treating your locks to a mask once or twice a week. Focus on the ends of your hair, which tend to be the driest! For an added boost, Sebastian’s Drench Treatment is a great option. This intense hydrating hair mask helps restore moisture, leaving your hair feeling soft, nourished, and more manageable.
Oil Infusion
Nourishing oils are a great way to care for your hair. They replenish lost moisture and protect against damage from environmental stressors. Oils containing argan, coconut, or jojoba are particularly beneficial. Give your hair a boost of hydration and shine by applying hair oil to the mid-lengths and ends before styling. For an even more intensive treatment, let it soak in for several hours or overnight. A couple of great options to try are Fable and Mane’s best-selling HoliRoots Hair Oil, known for its nourishing benefits, and REJUVENIQE Oil Intensive by Monat, which doubles as both a hair and skin oil, offering hydration and protection from head to toe!
Skin Surge
Soothing Serums
Like facial serums, body serums deliver a concentrated dose of hydration and beneficial ingredients. Apply a hydrating body serum after showering, while your skin is still damp, and follow with moisturizer to lock it all in. Check out Dove’s Hyaluronic + Hydration Crème Body Serum!
Face-Washing Frequency
Over-washing your face can strip it of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. Try washing your face less frequently and using a gentle, hydrating cleanser when you do. A great option to consider is Vasanti’s BrightenUp! Aloe Cleanser. This natural, gentle formula removes impurities and pollutants from your pores without drying out your skin, keeping it refreshed and nourished.
The Fluid Factor
Help your body absorb and retain fluids more effectively by consuming electrolytes or coconut water. These replenish lost minerals and maintain fluid balance, making them particularly beneficial after exercise or anytime you're feeling dehydrated.
No matter the time of year, hydration is key to maintaining healthy skin and hair. These simple yet effective tips will help you lock in moisture and keep your beauty routine feeling fresh and nourished every day!
