Dehydration has nothing to do with dryness: it is a lack of water , not fat.
And yet, it is felt just as much: tightness, dull complexion, uneven skin texture.
Fortunately, a few well-thought-out steps are enough to restore the skin's moisture balance (water level) — without saturating your routine.

Here is your anti-dehydration program in 5 precise steps , to adopt starting tonight.

1 — Clean without stripping

It all starts with respectful cleaning.
Choose a gentle gel or sulfate-free cleansing milk: the goal is to rid the skin of impurities without damaging its protective barrier .
Clean skin, yes — but never “squeaky clean”.

2 — Spritz to wake up

Before even applying your skincare products, apply a hydrating mist.
It prepares the skin to receive active ingredients by "softening" your skin to help products penetrate better, unlike overly dry skin which lacks suppleness and absorbs little product, therefore less hydration.
This is the pre-care that we too often forget, but which makes a big difference.

3 — Saturate with a hydrating serum

Next comes the heart of the ritual: a hydrating or hyaluronic acid serum , which captures and retains water on your skin
Press it onto slightly damp skin — that's the secret to multiplying its effectiveness.

4 — Wrap with a rich cream

Once the water has been brought in, it must be sealed.

It's your skin's cover against the cold, stress and heating, a comfort blanket that borders your skin.

5 — Nourish from within

External and internal hydration go together.
Drink plenty of water, and eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (avocados, nuts). Avoid sugar, fried foods, and certain foods that dry out the skin from the inside—often without us even realizing it.

Result

Plump, comfortable, radiant skin.
A natural glow that lasts — because hydrated skin is glowy skin
