7 Hydration Heroes For Your Skin

Una Brennan Superfacialist Rose Intense Moisture Mask - if you're looking for an intensive treatment for sore, tight skin, this creamy mask from Una Brennan is perfect. Rose, Vitamin E and Marshmallow (yum) work to plump and rehydrate the complexion, and the glow this mask creates is rather lovely. 

Slather on a thick layer after cleansing and allow to absorb for 10-15 minutes as part of a pamper evening!

Caudalie Beauty Elixir - a cult classic for a reason, Caudalie's signature facial spray is a delight to the senses. We like to use this pool-side for a refreshing boost of hydration, or sprayed on after cleansing. It's particularly great as a mid-day makeup refresher when things are looking caky and blotchy.

Try a spritz or two on top of your base - you'll notice the difference immediately!

ZK'IN Organics Hydrating Mist - a new discovery for the Baby2Body team is ZK'IN Organics. Their all-natural range offers high-quality skincare for every possible complexion. The hydrating mist feels light and fresh on the skin, and contains aloe vera, glycerin, vanilla, ylang-ylang flower oil, patchouli and radish root to impart moisture without leaving skin looking and feeling sticky.

Eau Thermale Avène Hydrance Hydrating Serum - A serum is one of the quickest ways to rehydrate. Loaded with glycerin, this lightweight gel attracts moisture to the surface of the skin, encouraging a plumper, more youthful appearance. Use under your eyes if you aren't a fan of heavier eye creams, and pay special attention to crow's feet and laugh lines!

Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Gel - The Vitamin B5 in this hydration gel is perfect for dullness, dryness, and uneven skin tone associated with dehydrated skin. It also contains pineapple ceramide and watermelon rind/lentil/apple complex to attract and hold moisture within the skin - help plump up and illuminate your skin.

The hyaluronate contains hyaluronic acid: the Rolls Royce of hydration-boosting ingredients. It holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, meaning it will retain huge amounts of moisture that other ingredients simply can't match.

Malin & Goetz Vitamin E Facial Moisturiser - If you're looking for a simple, no-frills moisturiser that will soothe and calm reddened, dehydrated skin, this is the product for you. It contains chamomile, allantoin and vitamins E and B5 to nourish skin without creating any oiliness, and makes the perfect base for makeup to be applied on top of.

Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream - Last but not least is Bare Minerals' recent release. A godsend for flaky, thirsty skin, this tinted moisture packs a moisture punch with its dewy texture and easily blendable formula. It glides onto dehydrated skin and creates a beautiful, even canvas.
