Hydration
Why is Skin Hydration Important?
Skin hydration plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy and glowing skin. By keeping your skin properly hydrated, you can help to:
Preserve a healthy skin barrier that protects against external factors like weather changes and pollutants.
Safeguard the skin from premature aging signs such as fine lines, dry patches, and flakiness.
Regulate the skin's natural sebum production, promoting a balanced complexion.
Improve skin elasticity and overall function, resulting in a supple and well-balanced appearance.
Hydrating the Skin Naturally
At The Herbalist Bells Beach, we believe in the power of natural and organic botanicals, to achieve optimal health and skin radiance. Our hydration mists are pure in essence, free from skin-drying alcohols, and abrasive synthetic chemicals. We let the gentle skin loving actives from our steam distilled botanicals speak for themselves.
What are Hydrosols?
Hydrosols are the aromatic waters that remain after the distillation process of essential oils. While similar to essential oils, hydrosols have a different composition and properties. Hydrosols contain trace amounts of water-soluble compounds from plants, including volatile oils, minerals, and other beneficial constituents. This makes them a gentle, natural, and non-abrasive hydration addition to include into your daily skincare regime.
