But most people often confuse hydrating with moisturizing. Keep reading to know the difference.

Hydrating vs. moisturizing products: Know the difference for perfectly nourished skin.

The words hydrating and moisturizing are used most of the time interchangeably. But the main difference between them is based on how they work. Hydrators contain humectants, such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, etc., that absorb water from the atmosphere. Hydrating products hydrate the skin cells by increasing their water content. They also increase the ability of the skin to absorb nutrients and moisture.

On the other hand, moisturizing products prevent the evaporation of moisture from the skin, aka trans-epidermal water loss, which also improves the skin barrier's function. Moisturizing products build a protective layer on the skin by sealing and trapping moisture. Moisturizers are oil-based ingredients that contain occlusive agents such as mineral oil, petrolatum, etc., and emollients like plant oils. It keeps the skin soft and smooth by preventing water loss. In simple words, hydrating products increase the water content in your skin cells. They are best for those with dehydrated skin. Moisturizing products lock in moisture content and are best for those with dry skin.

Ingredients to look for in the best hydrating products by O3+

In hydrating products, you should look for humectant ingredients. Humectants absorb moisture from the environment and keep your skin hydrated and refreshed. Some of the ingredients that you should look for are:

Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is the most talked about skincare ingredient. It can hold up to 1000 times its weight of water and is present in almost all types of skincare products. Hyaluronic acid is safe to try, even for those with sensitive skin. So, when in need of hydration, hyaluronic acid should be your go-to ingredient, whether in the form of a hydrating serum, hydrating facial cleanser, hydrating moisturizer, hydrating toner, etc.

Glycerin or glycerol

Glycerin is a humectant, and putting it on your skin helps draw moisture to the skin. Glycerin is one of the most common ingredients that you will see in hydrating products.

Ceramides

Ceramides are an essential part of the skin's natural barrier. Ceramides help to seal shut the barrier, thereby locking in the hydration and keeping the irritants at bay. Ceramides exist between the skin cells. Buying products that contain ceramides can be very beneficial in treating dry and irritated skin.

Lactic acid, Citric acid

We usually think of these ingredients as exfoliators that help in fighting signs of aging and acne. But they also act as humectants by locking in moisture and hydrating the skin. They help in removing gunk and dead skin cells while also hydrating. But you should not use them in excess.

Some more ingredients that you should also look for are:

• Propylene glycol.
• Alpha-hydroxy acids.
• Aloe vera.
• Citric acid.
• Snail mucin.
