Ask any woman around and she will tell you that her skin care dreams involve achieving flawless, spotless skin. But do you know what comes in the way of healthy skin? Lack of hydration! Blame it on the fact that you can’t get yourself to drink 3 litres of water every day or the fact that you dismiss your moisturiser thinking it’ll make your skin greasy. Truth is that your skin is missing out on the kind of hydration it deserves. Irrespective of your skin type, moisturising is imperative to your skincare routine. But what if we told you that a water-based moisturiser or serum is doubly hydrating for your skin? Curious to know why we’re underlining the importance of a water-based skin care routine? Here’s why...
 

They get absorbed easily

The biggest advantage of water-based skin care products is that your skin will drink them up immediately. Plus, their texture is gel-based and they’re cooling on the skin as opposed to oil-based products that might end up irritating your skin. What we’re trying to say is that they’re perfect for summers!

 

They fight acne and shrink pores

If you have acne-prone skin or even oily skin, this is the right product for your skin because unlike oil, water does not bind itself to the skin easily and therefore, it works perfectly as an acne fighter or even as a toner that shrinks pores.

 

They’re intensely hydrating

It is in the summers that you need your moisturisers to be feathery light on your skin. And going without a moisturiser or cream in the summers is not even an option. This is why a water-based moisturiser fits perfectly into your summer skin care arsenal because they offer H2O to your thirsty skin cells thereby giving them much needed hydration. To hydrate your skin with a water-based cream, use the Lakmé Absolute Skin Gloss Gel Crème, which contains hydrating minerals for your skin. Its water-based gel crème formula leaves a flawless matte-like effect on your skin.
