We spoke to Michelle Shieh, scientific communications manager at <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/us.laneige.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Laneige<\/em><\/a><em>, to learn how to hydrate your skin like a pro.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<p>When you think of Korean skincare, you may immediately think of those intricate 12-step routines that dominated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/healthy-social-media-habits\/\">social media<\/a> for years. But while K-beauty may seem complicated, it\u2019s rooted in one very simple principle: hydration. So if you\u2019re wondering how to hydrate skin and get a dewy look, look no further than K-beauty skincare.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cHydration is definitely an important pillar in Korean skincare,\u201d says Michelle Shieh, scientific communications manager at <a href=\"https:\/\/us.laneige.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Laneige<\/a>. \u201cWe believe that hydrated skin is the foundation to addressing various skincare concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>By hydrating your complexion, you can combat and prevent symptoms like TK, getting that signature K-beauty glow. Read on to learn more about why hydration is foundational to K-beauty skincare and the best way to hydrate skin.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hydration-k-beauty-skincares-best-kept-secret\">Hydration: K-Beauty Skincare\u2019s Best Kept Secret<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"fadec0\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #fadec0;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/how-to-hydrate-skin-active-ingredients.jpg\" alt=\"how to hydrate skin active ingredients\" class=\"wp-image-30451 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>First, the obvious reason you may be focused on skin hydration: \u201cDry and dehydrated skin can lead to flakiness, dullness, loss of plumpness, or even discomfort such as itchiness,\u201d explains Shieh. But you don\u2019t need to have super dry skin to benefit from hydrating tips and products. \u201cHydration is key to achieving healthy-looking skin,\u201d says Shieh.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Not only can hydration improve skin conditions, but it can also help prevent new ones from cropping up. For example, if your skin becomes dehydrated, it may start to produce excess oil, which can lead to breakouts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Another reason why K-beauty focuses on hydration? Keeping your skin properly hydrated ensures your skin barrier (the outer level of your skin) stays healthy and functions properly. If the skin barrier becomes damaged, your skin won\u2019t be able to retain moisture and you may experience redness, irritation, sensitivity, flaking, breakouts, and pronounced fine lines or wrinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-know-about-skin-hydration\">What to Know About Skin Hydration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"807572\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #807572;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/skin-hydration.jpg\" alt=\"skin hydration\" class=\"wp-image-30452 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Obviously, skin hydration is one of the biggest K-beauty secrets, but so is understanding the cause of your skin\u2019s dryness. \u201cThere are actually two different situations that could be the case when we feel like our skin feels or looks dry: dry skin or dehydrated skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>But what exactly is the difference between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/dry-vs-dehydrated-skin\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">dry skin versus dehydrated skin<\/a>? Both types of parched complexions are the result of low levels of moisture in the skin, just different types of moisture. \u201cDry skin is a skin type when the sebaceous glands don&#8217;t produce enough oil to nourish the skin,\u201d explains Shieh. Some symptoms of dry skin include flakes, rough texture, exaggerated fine lines and wrinkles, redness, irritation, breakouts, and itchiness, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aad.org\/public\/diseases\/a-z\/dry-skin-symptoms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American Academy of Dermatology (AAD)<\/a>. It needs intense hydration from oil-based ingredients (think: heavy creams) to help replenish and seal the moisture in.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cDehydrated skin is when the skin lacks hydration. This can be a temporary state that is caused by a change in season, climate, or geographical location (like when we&#8217;re traveling),\u201d says Shieh. Dehydrated skin can be harder to spot. When skin is dehydrated, it can overcompensate for the lack of hydration by producing excess oil, leading to an over-production of oil. This can block pores and lead to blackheads, acne, or other irritation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s common for those with oily or acne-prone skin to not even realize they have dehydrated skin\u2014only exacerbating their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/the-best-vitamins-for-skin\/\">skin issues<\/a>. For that reason, Shieh says hydration is as essential to those with oily or acne-prone skin types as to those with dry skin types. Incorporating the right kinds of lightweight, hydrating products into their routines (like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/hyaluronic-acid\/\">hyaluronic acid<\/a>, for example) can help the skin maintain a healthy water-oil balance. \u201cHydration is as essential to those with oily or acne-prone skin types as to those with dry skin types,\u201d Shieh says.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p>But hydration is also important if you have normal or balanced skin, as your complexion is constantly losing water throughout the day. Your skin loses about 300 to 400 milliliters of water by skin diffusion every day, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3105115\/#:~:text=The%20combined%20total%20of%20600,of%20water%20intake%20%5B1%5D.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to research<\/a>. Applying moisturizing products after you wash your face, for example, locks in the extra hydration from the water and ensures your skin\u2019s hydration levels stay constant throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-hydrate-your-skin-like-a-k-beauty-pro\">How to Hydrate Your Skin Like a K-Beauty Pro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"838a84\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #838a84;\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/how-to-hydrate-skin-k-beauty.jpg\" alt=\"how to hydrate skin k beauty\" class=\"wp-image-30455 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Want to achieve K-beauty levels of skin hydration? Shieh reveals her favorite hydrating tips and ingredients that will give your complexion that viral glazed doughnut look.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-think-gentle\">Think Gentle<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>While harsh <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/active-skincare-ingredients\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">skincare actives<\/a> are touted for their impressive results, gentle, hydrating ingredients (like the ones found in K-beauty products) can help you achieve smooth, clear, luminous skin. This approach to hydration is one of the biggest differentiators in K-beauty skincare. These ingredients (both inactive and active) won\u2019t disrupt your skin\u2019s pH balance (like certain acids will) nor will they cause irritation, dryness, or redness (like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-to-use-retinol\/\">retinol<\/a> or other active skincare ingredients). Instead, they\u2019ll replenish your skin\u2019s moisture levels, giving you the ultimate glow.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stay-consistent\">Stay Consistent<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Another key to hydrating your skin like a K-beauty pro? Consistency. Korean skincare is all about being regimented with your routine (especially since there can be up to 12 steps sometimes!). Remember that<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/skin-care-routine-order\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\"> skincare routine order<\/a> matters: Apply your products from thinnest consistency (think: serums) to thickest (such as night creams) every day to see results.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reach-for-ultra-hydrating-ingredients\">Reach for Ultra-Hydrating Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hyaluronic-acid\">Hyaluronic Acid<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of my favorite hydration ingredients is definitely hyaluronic acid,\u201d she says. \u201cHyaluronic acid is a humectant ingredient that helps draw moisture into the skin and has the ability to help hold onto large amounts of hydration while still being very lightweight.\u201d This ingredient is a great option to help add intense hydration to all skin types\u2014whether you struggle with dry skin or have dehydrated, oily skin.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Where to Find It: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/us.laneige.com\/products\/water-bank-blue-hyaluronic-hydration-set\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Laneige\u2019s Water Bank Hydration Set, $45<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are many types of hyaluronic acids out there, and not all of them are created equal,\u201d Shieh says. \u201cLaneige&#8217;s Blue Hyaluronic Acid in the new Water Bank collection is a micro-sized hyaluronic acid (it&#8217;s 2,000 times smaller than the hyaluronic acid used in our previous Water Bank collection) that is double fermented with deep-sea algae, which gets absorbed deeper and locks in hydration better to provide a more effectively multi-faceted hydration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-squalane\">Squalane<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>Not to be confused with squalene (which is generally found in shark liver), squalane is a plant-based hydrating ingredient (and a favorite of Shieh\u2019s). \u201cIt&#8217;s an emollient ingredient that helps add nourishment to the skin while helping to seal in hydration, perfect to pair with hyaluronic acid,\u201d she says. \u201cIt mimics a component of our skin\u2019s natural lipids so, it&#8217;s easy for the skin to take in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Where to Find It: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/us.laneige.com\/products\/water-sleeping-mask\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Laneige Water Sleeping Mask, $29<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Give your skin a much-needed hydration boost with the <a href=\"https:\/\/us.laneige.com\/products\/water-sleeping-mask\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Laneige Water Sleeping Mask<\/a>. It contains this moisturizing ingredient in a lightweight, gel texture that will soak into your skin and replenish its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/overnight-beauty-treatments\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">hydration levels overnight<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shea-butter\">Shea Butter<\/h4>\n\n\n<p>Shea butter is an emollient that hydrates and softens the skin. It\u2019s one of the top-recommended ingredients for dry skin, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aad.org\/public\/everyday-care\/skin-care-basics\/dry\/dry-skin-relief\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to the AAD<\/a>. Additionally, its thick consistency can help support the skin\u2019s barrier. \u201cAside from making sure we are adding hydration, it&#8217;s also important to take good care of our skin&#8217;s moisture barrier to help seal in the hydration that we\u2019ve provided,\u201d Shieh says. \u201cWithout a happy moisture barrier, it&#8217;s hard for our skin to maintain long-term hydration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Where to Find It: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/us.laneige.com\/products\/lip-sleeping-mask\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Laneige\u2019s Lip Sleeping Mask, $22<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Given shea butter\u2019s heavier consistency, it\u2019s the perfect ingredient for a lip treatment. <a href=\"https:\/\/us.laneige.com\/products\/lip-sleeping-mask\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Laneige\u2019s Lip Sleeping Mask<\/a> contains this hydration superstar plus hyaluronic acid and powerful antioxidants for a supple, smooth pout.
