We are in the heart of winter and hydration, both of our face and body, should be at the center. After all, is there anything better than a skincare ritual after a tiring and cold day? 

If you find body hydration after a shower "boring" or "unnecessary", I am here in this article to change your mind and "convince" you to treat the whole process as a "sacrament" that is worth it for both your body and yourself! 

But why is body hydration necessary? 

First of all, you should not forget that we are made up of 60% water, so we should maintain high levels of hydration in our body and skin throughout the year in order to enjoy a healthy and radiant complexion. Also, do not forget that weather conditions, such as cold and wind, directly affect our skin, making it dry and lose its elasticity. 

Proper hydration prevents signs of aging, keeps the skin smooth, elastic, and radiant, and (since it is our largest organ) can successfully protect us from environmental factors. 

When should I hydrate my skin? 

Ideally, 3 to 5 minutes after a shower, to "lock in" hydration and restore the moisture levels of the skin barrier, as well as to bring your skin back to its normal levels, as the balance may have been disrupted by the ingredients of the products. 

So, for all of the above, let's see 4 +1 body moisturizers that will help your skin recover immediately, while also winning you over with their wonderful scent!
