What are the benefits of using face hydrating gels?

Moisture loss is usually the cause for dryness, dehydration, dullness, and even acne on your skin. If you are experiencing any of these concerns, our Ayurveda experts suggest adding a sealing agent such as a hydrating gel as the third step in your cleansing, toning, moisturizing routine, right before you apply a facial moisturizer. When applied chilled, each of these hydrating gels act as sealers to retain hydration deep within the skin, and can then be followed by a moisturizer and a sunscreen. Their light, highly absorbent textures leave skin with a porcelain, dewy texture without clogging the skin’s pores with excess product.

What are the ingredients to look for while buying facial gels?

While the conventional market has crafted many facial gels, not all of them have the best sealing qualities. Many hydrating gels available in the market achieve the gel-like consistency using chemicals. Toxic ingredients including acrylic acid polymer that swells in water, is usually added to facial gels to replicate organic Aloe Vera gel. Our experts suggest looking out for natural ingredients including pure, Aloe Vera gel and fresh floral waters that have been mixed with natural thickeners and preservatives to ensure excellent quality.
