Humectants work by drawing water from the air into the skin, helping to hydrate and plump up the skin. They can also help to improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin by reducing dryness and flakiness.

Humectants are recommended for anyone looking to improve the hydration and moisture levels of their skin. They are particularly useful for those with dry or sensitive skin, as well as those who live in dry or cold climates.

Humectants can be used by all skin types, although those with oily or acne-prone skin may want to use them with caution as they can potentially clog pores.

To use humectants in your skincare routine, look for products that contain ingredients such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid, or aloe vera. These can be applied to the skin as a serum or moisturizer, ideally after cleansing and toning. For best results, use them in the morning and at night, and always follow up with a moisturizer to lock in the moisture.
