INCI: AQUA - Water in skin care: General information and specific effects
Water, the most basic element, is also an essential active ingredient in skin care. This article looks at the general properties of water and its specific effects on the skin.
General introduction
Water is the source of all life and it plays a crucial role in skincare. The skin needs water to stay healthy and fulfil its functions properly.
Versatile effects of water in skin care
1. moisturising
The most obvious effect of water in skincare is moisturisation. It hydrates the skin cells, keeps them plump and promotes a youthful appearance.
2. cleansing and detoxification
Water is a natural cleanser. It removes dirt, oil and other impurities from the skin, which is essential for clear and healthy skin.
3. strengthen the skin barrier
A well-hydrated skin condition helps to strengthen the skin's natural barrier. This is crucial to protect the skin from external influences such as bacteria and pollution.
4. improve skin elasticity
Water helps to improve skin elasticity. Sufficiently hydrated skin is less prone to wrinkling and has a firmer appearance.
Specific applications of water in skin care
1. facial cleansing
Water is the main element in facial cleansers. It helps to remove make-up, dirt and excess oil without drying out the skin.
2. moisturisers
Moisturisers are often based on water-based formulations. They provide intensive moisturising care and help the skin to retain its natural moisture content.
3. steam treatments
Steam treatments, such as facial steam baths, use the cleansing power of water vapour to open pores, relax the skin and improve the absorption of nourishing ingredients.
Water is the cornerstone of healthy skin. From moisturising to cleansing, it plays a central role in skin care. Maintaining a good water content is crucial for radiant and supple skin.
