Is effective moisturizing the answer to plump and firm skin? 

As we age, our skin's ability to maintain hydration and a healthy barrier deteriorates. This can lead to dry, aging skin. Dermatologists recommend spa-quality hydration to combat this issue and keep our skin looking youthful and hydrated.

One of the best ways to achieve this is through the use of a cool mist steamer and then your usual moisturizer to seal in the extra boost of hydration.

Good to Know: Indoor heating and hot showers can further disrupt your skin’s hydration barrier.

Stratum Corneum Hydration VS Age

Our skin is made up of several layers, the topmost of which is the stratum corneum. This layer is responsible for protecting our skin from environmental damage and maintaining hydration. As we age, the stratum corneum's ability to do this deteriorates, leading to dryness, wrinkles, and an overall aging appearance.

One of the best ways to combat this is through the use of a cool mist steamer. A cool mist steamer works by releasing a fine mist of water onto the skin, which is then absorbed by the stratum corneum. This helps to hydrate the skin and improve its ability to maintain hydration.

Additionally, cool mist steamers can also improve the skin's sebum, which is the natural oil produced by the skin that helps to keep it moisturized.

Transepidermal Water Loss VS Age

Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) is another factor that contributes to dry, aging skin. TEWL occurs when water evaporates from the skin, which can happen when the skin's barrier is compromised.

A cool mist steamer can help to reduce TEWL by keeping the skin hydrated and improving the skin's barrier function.

Steam Infused with Essential Oils Maximize Hydration Benefits

Fancii’s Rivo cool mist steamer has the ability to infuse it with essential oils. One such essential oil that is particularly beneficial for the skin is 'Magic Spell' enriched with chamomile.

Rosemary and Clary Sage essential oils are known for their hydrating properties. These essential oils contain compounds that help to retain moisture in the skin and prevent water loss, ultimately leading to increased hydration levels. Additionally, they have anti-inflammatory properties, which can soothe and calm irritated skin, making them suitable for those with dry or sensitive skin. Incorporating nourishing essential oils like rosemary or clary sage essential oils into your steam regimen can help improve skin hydration and promote a healthier, more radiant complexion.
