What's the difference between hydrating and moisturising skincare?

Hydrating skincare products focus on drawing water into the skin, typically using ingredients like hyaluronic acid to boost your skin's water content from within. Moisturising products, on the other hand, work by sealing in that hydration with oils and occlusives to prevent water loss. While the terms are often used interchangeably, understanding this distinction helps you build a more effective face care routine. At The Body Shop, our hydrating skincare collection includes both hydrators and moisturisers, so you can layer them for optimal results or choose products that combine both benefits in one formula.

Which ingredients should I look for in a hydrating product?

The most effective hydrating skin products contain humectants like hyaluronic acid, which can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, and glycerin, a powerful moisture magnet that draws hydration into the skin. Look for botanical extracts such as aloe, which soothes whilst hydrating, and Community Fair Trade organic babassu oil, which helps lock in moisture. Our hydrating skincare products often feature these ingredients alongside nourishing vitamins and antioxidants. For best results, choose formulations that combine multiple hydrating ingredients to address dehydration from different angles and support your skin's natural moisture retention.

How can I tell if my skin is dehydrated?

Dehydrated skin often feels tight, looks dull and may show fine lines that seem more pronounced than usual, regardless of your skin type. Unlike dry skin, which lacks oil, dehydrated skin lacks water and can affect even those with oily & blemish-prone skin. You might notice your skin feels rough to the touch, or that your makeup doesn't sit smoothly on your face. If you're experiencing these symptoms, incorporating hydrating skin products into your routine can make a significant difference. Our range is designed to replenish moisture levels and restore your skin's healthy, radiant appearance.

Can I use hydrating products if I have oily or acne-prone skin?

Absolutely—in fact, oily and acne-prone skin often benefits tremendously from proper hydration. When skin is dehydrated, it can overproduce oil to compensate, potentially leading to more breakouts and congestion. Our lightweight hydrating skin products are formulated to deliver essential moisture without adding heaviness or clogging pores. Look for gel-based or water-based hydrating skincare that absorbs quickly and won't leave a greasy residue. By keeping your skin properly hydrated, you can help balance oil production and create a clearer, healthier complexion.

What does a basic hydrating skincare routine look like?

A simple yet effective hydrating skincare routine starts with a gentle cleanser that won't strip your skin's natural moisture. Follow with a hydrating toner to prep your skin, then apply a hydrating serum packed with moisture-binding ingredients. Finish with a moisturiser to seal in all that goodness and protect your skin's barrier throughout the day. For best results, use hydrating skincare products morning and evening, and don't forget to apply SPF during the day to prevent moisture loss from sun exposure.
