Nutrition & Hydration
Our Nourishing and Hydrating Formulas
Distinguishing between skin nourishment and hydration isn't always straightforward. NUXE formulations combine natural origin ingredients, proven efficacy, and sensory pleasure to combat dehydration or provide soothing relief to dry, very dry, and sensitive skin. Discover how to give your complexion exactly what it craves.
What is the difference between skin hydration and nourishment?
Nourishment and hydration are two complementary needs for your skin.
Hydration provides the water necessary to keep the skin supple, preventing the dehydration that causes tightness and fine lines. Every skin type requires adequate hydration.
Nourishment supplies lipids (oils) to strengthen the skin’s protective barrier and prevent water loss. This function is typically performed by sebum, but occasionally, the skin does not produce enough. In this case, it requires a nourishing skincare treatment.
How do I know if my skin needs hydration or nourishment?
To understand if your skin requires nourishment or hydration, observe your complexion and trust how your skin feels.
Treatment differences for dry, dehydrated, combination, and oily skin
Dry skin craves comforting care—nourishing formulas enriched with botanical oils or natural origin butters.
For combination skin, adopt a balanced approach. A lightweight cream or fluid restores comfort to areas prone to tightness while controlling shine on the T-zone.
Oily skin produces excess sebum. This overproduction can lead to blemishes or blackheads. To support it daily, choose an anti-imperfection fluid for lightweight hydration. In summer, opt for non-comedogenic sun protection.
You can have dry, normal, combination, or oily skin, but it can also be dehydrated. Add a product rich in hydrating actives like Hyaluronic Acid, Polyglutamic Acid, or Red Algae extract to your beauty routine. Whether it’s a serum, a light or rich cream, or a fluid: your hydration product must adapt to your skin type.
Recognising the signs of a face lacking nourishment
Does your skin feel tight? Does it look dull, or have you noticed small dry patches on your cheeks? These are the most common signs of a lack of nourishment. Dry skin may also present redness or flakiness. These are accumulations of dead cells on the skin's surface forming small clusters in certain areas. To the touch, skin lacking nourishment feels less soft and can even be rough.
How to achieve beautifully hydrated skin?
Hydration is the essential beauty step for all skin types, at every age. The appearance of fine lines, a loss of elasticity, and sensations of tightness are all signs of cutaneous dehydration.
To maintain well-hydrated skin, help it protect itself from external aggressors, and preserve its glow and youthfulness, adopt these simple steps:
- Cleanse your skin gently so as not to strip the hydrolipidic film.
- Pat your skin dry with a towel; do not rub it.
- Before your cream, apply a serum with hydrating actives in the morning and also in the evening.
- Adapt the texture of your skincare to your skin's specific needs.
- After your weekly exfoliating treatment, apply a hydrating mask.
Perfectly hydrated, your skin regains its bounce; it looks luminous, supple, and comfortable. You limit the appearance of dehydration lines which, over time, can deepen and become permanent wrinkles.
