Moisturization and hydration sound similar, but they do two different jobs for your skin. Hydration is all about increasing your skin’s water content—think ingredients like hyaluronic acid that pull water in and make skin look plump and refreshed. Moisturization, on the other hand, focuses on sealing that water in with oils, butters, or occlusives so it doesn’t evaporate. Hydrated skin feels bouncy; moisturized skin feels soft and protected. Most people need both. If your skin looks dull or tight, you’re lacking hydration. If it feels rough, flaky, or irritated, you need more moisture. Combining the two gives the best results.
