Here’s How to Get Bouncy, Elastic Skin, with a Few Products and Tips
Bouncy skin refers to the skin’s ability to ‘bounce’ or spring back into place when gently pressed. Bouncy skin is healthy skin that has plenty of hydration, elasticity, and collagen — things we naturally lose as we age. However, we can replenish the skin with hydration, elastin, and collagen with thoughtful skincare products and lifestyle choices. Exfoliation, hydration, antioxidants, and sunscreen are all steps that help skin achieve a ‘bouncy’ quality.
The Best Moisturizers for Glowing Skin, Based on Your Skin Type
Some moisturizers are focused on a glowy finish, providing you with instant dewy radiance. However, even fewer of these glow-focused formulas also improve the health and feel of your skin long-term. We uncovered several glowing moisturizers, including The Dewy Milk Moisturizer and The Dewy Skin Cream, that support your long-term skin goals, while also giving you plump, dewy skin.
How to Treat Dehydrated Skin
Dry skin is different from dehydrated skin. Dry skin is a skin type, while dehydrated skin is a skin condition that can occur in anyone and is based on a variety of factors. Sources of dehydrated skin include UV exposure, daily habits (like stress, lack of sleep, and other lifestyle choices), and, of course, a chronic lack of hydrating skincare products. Caring for dehydrated skin takes consistency, in both personal wellness and skincare products. Reach for products that soothe, calm, and hydrate. And wear sunscreen daily to fight UV damage.
