How to Get Hydrated Skin
Looking for dewy skin but dealing with dryness instead? We’ve put together a quick guide on how to hydrate your skin, starting with our top hydrating cleansers and toners and including our top tips for maintaining hydrated skin through everyday habits.
Look for moisture-attracting ingredients
When it comes to promoting healthy and hydrated skin, not all skincare is created equal. Certain ingredients, known collectively as humectants, are specifically chosen because they draw moisture from the dermis (deeper layer of your skin) – or even the air – to the top layer of your skin, helping it stay hydrated and reduce dryness and cracking. Some well-known humectants include hyaluronic acid and glycerine, which are favourites in restorative skincare. Many people don’t realise that honey also falls into this category!
Start out with a hydrating cleanser
It’s important to factor hydration into your skincare routine as early as possible, so starting off with a hydrating cleanser is perfect. While cleansers help remove make-up and unwanted impurities, choosing a hydrating formula can ensure your skin isn’t also losing its moisture.
Our Galatée Confort cleansing milk is specially formulated for dry skin, enriched with honey, almond extract, cereals, yeast and milk proteins. These proteins help improve your skin’s moisture retention while emollient almond extract is great at locking in moisture.
Try a hydrating toner
Toning is all about refreshing your skin, so making sure you choose a hydrating toner that will maintain that all-important moisture is essential.
Our Tonique Douceur is alcohol-free and made for normal to combination skin. The soothing lotion is made with rose water, which is a natural hydrator that helps to refresh and rejuvenate your skin while refining the texture and gently toning. Make it part of your everyday routine to get maximum benefits.

Add another layer of moisture with a hydrating serum
Take your skincare routine to the next level with a hydrating serum after your toner. Serums are more concentrated products that are designed with specific targets in mind. A hydrating serum will be rich in moisture-promoting ingredients to give an extra boost to your skin.
Our Advanced Genifique Serum has been developed after 20 years of research to suit all skin types. A key ingredient is hyaluronic acid – one of those hydrating humectants that helps draw moisture to your skin’s top layer.
Lock in moisture with a hydrating face cream
Finish your daily skincare routine with a hydrating face cream that can help lock in moisture and provide additional protection throughout the day. Look for long-lasting creams that can be used daily to provide maximum coverage and skin support.
Our Hydra Zen Day Cream boasts a cream-to-gel formula that provides up to 24 hours of fresh hydration. It’s been enriched with intensely hydrating rose, peony root and moringa seed extracts.
