It was not too long ago when the matte, overdone look was the hottest beauty commodity around. The contour palette and dark, dramatic eyebrows were the only options, and skin care was on the backburner. Thankfully, the tides have changed, and healthy, glowing skin is being recognized for the allure it possesses. As skin care professionals rejoice in the fact that their clients are excited about what their dedicated skin care routines can bring instead of covering their flaws, DERMASCOPE brings readers the hydration issue – the glow guide on how to secure radiant complexions for clients and beyond.  

The first article to discuss the pursuit of glowing, healthy skin examines the role of nutrition and water intake for an optimally functioning skin barrier. Although skin care professionals cannot recommend dietary habits to clients, it is crucial to have all the information for initial and ongoing consultations when it comes to skin health. Get a breakdown of how to properly nourish skin with Andrea Gregaydis’ article, “Fueling Up.” 

Next up is Colette Brown’s article, “Glow On.” Brown dives into the importance of selecting the right ingredients for skin hydration and balance. Discover what letchin, Symphytum officinale, phenethyl alcohol, and more can do for client complexions. Furthermore, determine what else should be considered when making product selections for the spa.  

Continuing to look beyond ingredient decks is “Matrisome Maintenance,” an article written by AIA Legend, Lydia Sarfati. Read up on the importance of hydrating product formulations, maintaining proper water balance within skin cells, and more with this must-read from an industry legend.  

The last stop on readers’ journeys to hydration is “Hydration Harmony.” This article comes from 2022’s Favorite Contributing Writer and DERMASCOPE Ambassador, Nichelle Mosley. Explore the spa’s options when it comes to in-spa hydration treatments. From oxygen therapy and paraffin wax to jelly masks, become familiar with the choices for various clients.  

The industry may change at a moment’s notice, but two things that will never go out of style is a healthy skin barrier and proper hydration levels. The rest of the world is finally catching up to this notion, and the client pool has never been larger.
