Does your skin need hydration?

Dehydrated skin, premature aging

Today at Montmeliher, we're going to talk about the importance of hydration for your skin. If you don't hydrate your skin, several things can happen:

In the short term:

1.  A feeling of tightness and roughness
2.  Itching or discomfort
3.  A dull or lackluster appearance
4.  Increased sensitivity to cosmetics, sun, or weather
5.  Skin that reddens easily

In the long term:

1. Premature aging: fine lines and wrinkles appear sooner
2. Loss of elasticity: the skin becomes more saggy
3. Weakened skin barrier: it's easier for bacteria to enter or for irritation to occur
4. Problems such as flaking, redness, or acne (yes, even oily skin can become dehydrated)

Skin can produce oil even when dehydrated, causing it to produce even more sebum to compensate.

At Montmeliher, we're going to give you some guidelines on how to take care of your skin at home every day:

If you have oily or acne-prone skin:

• Balance Gel: Use every morning and night.
• Balance Serum: This is an oil-regulating serum; apply a few drops every morning and night.
• Rehydra Eyes: Apply to the eye contour area morning and night, before your moisturizer.
• Balance Cream: Apply to the entire face, neck, and décolleté, morning and night.
• Emozioni Plus Drops SPF 50: SPF 50 protection; non-greasy, with a light texture; protects against pollution, environmental aggressors, and sun damage.

If you have normal skin:

• Rehydra Mousse: A mousse-textured cleanser that maintains hydration levels from the moment you cleanse. Use it morning and night.
• Rehydra Toner: Apply morning and night after cleansing. This product helps serum and cream penetrate much faster.
• Rehydra Concentrate: Apply before your cream. It reaches the deepest layers of the skin.
• Rehydra Eye Cream: An eye contour cream to care for the delicate eye area.
• Rehydra 100H Cream: Apply after Rehydra Concentrate to the entire face, neck, and décolleté morning and night.
• Emozioni Plus Drops SPF 50: SPF 50 protection. Non-greasy, with a light texture, it protects against pollution, environmental aggressors, and sun damage.

If you have dry skin:

• Rehydra Milk: for cleansing your skin day and night. The cleansing process itself provides hydration.
• Rehydra Toner: apply morning and night after cleansing. This product helps serum and cream penetrate much faster.
• Rehydra Concentrate: apply before your cream. It reaches the deepest layers of the skin.
• Rehydra Eyes: eye contour cream to care for your eyes.
• Rehydra Nourishing: facial treatment to nourish and comfort your skin.
• Emozioni Plus Drops SPF 50: SPF 50 protection. Non-greasy, with a light texture. Protects against pollution, environmental aggressors, and sun damage.

At Montmeliher, we also recommend using the REHYDRA MASK at home 2 or 3 times a week as an extra boost. If the skin is very irritated, very dehydrated, very red, very itchy...etc., we should start by treating the skin with the Rehydra Deep Hydration treatment in the salon.
