Hydration vs Nutrition, what is the difference?

With temperature changes and external aggressions, your skin might lack hydration and/or nutrition. But what’s the difference? Let us explain.

It’s important to note that hydration is essential for the skin, unlike nutrition, which is not always necessary. To clearly understand the difference between hydrating and nourishing your skin, just ask yourself a simple question: "When I’m thirsty, do I drink a glass of water or a glass of oil?"

Hydration: Providing Water for Your Face
When we’re thirsty, water is the key. The same goes for our skin. That’s why it’s crucial to give your skin the hydration it needs at every moment. However, water can evaporate quickly from the epidermis, leading to dehydration and a lack of nutrition, which manifests as tightness and roughness. Skin that lacks hydration is more vulnerable to attacks from microbes and allergens. It also loses its flexibility, making wrinkles and fine lines more likely to appear.

To ensure your skin stays deeply hydrated, Mary Cohr’s Hydrosmose range offers creams, serums, and masks designed to meet your skin’s hydration needs.

Nutrition: Delivering Vitamins and Minerals to Your Skin
Our body produces its own natural nutrient provider: sebum. This substance protects the skin and delivers the nutrients it needs. That’s why oily skin, which produces an excess of sebum, doesn’t require oil-based products or treatments. Oils, while not hydrating, help protect the skin from dehydration by reinforcing its barrier.

A lack of nutrition is often closely linked to a lack of hydration. Mary Cohr’s new Rich Hydrosmose Cream provides active ingredients to ensure your skin is well-nourished. Thanks to aquasmosis and mango butter, the skin stays deeply hydrated, nourished, and quickly regains its comfort and suppleness.
