Are You Sabotaging Your Skin’s Hydration?

You drink plenty of water, use a good moisturizer, and still—your skin feels dry, tight, and lackluster. Sound familiar? Many people unknowingly make hydration mistakes that dehydrate their skin instead of nourishing it. Let’s break down the most common culprits and how to fix them so your skin stays plump, youthful, and glowing.

1. Using the Wrong Type of Cleanser

Foaming cleansers and harsh soaps may leave your skin feeling squeaky clean, but they also strip away natural oils and moisture. Instead, make sure you are double cleansing with the right products to remove impurities and prep your skin for hydration. Start with Riman’s Moisture Cleansing Oil to dissolve makeup and impurities, followed by Snow Enzyme Cleanser, which gently exfoliates and refreshes the skin without stripping away moisture. This double-cleansing method ensures a clean, hydrated base for the rest of your skincare routine.

2. Skipping Toner (Or Using the Wrong One)

Toners are often overlooked, but they are essential for prepping your skin to absorb hydration. Many alcohol-based toners dry out your skin rather than replenishing it. Instead, choose a hydrating toner that nourishes and replenishes moisture. Riman offers multiple options to boost hydration:

• Radionsome™ Toner – A deeply hydrating toner infused with Jeju Lava Energy Water and botanical extracts that replenish moisture and prepare the skin for better absorption of serums and moisturizers.
• Vieton Oil Mist – A lightweight mist enriched with nourishing oils to deliver an instant boost of hydration and keep skin dewy throughout the day.

3. Not Layering Products Correctly

Hydration is all about layering products in the right order to lock in moisture. Depending on your skincare preferences, Riman offers two powerful lines to choose from:

Radiansome™ Line: Focuses on deep hydration and absorption through advanced liposome technology.

1. Radionsome™ Toner – Preps the skin for deeper hydration.
2. Radionsome™ Cream – A rich cream that reinforces the skin barrier and provides long-lasting hydration.

ICD Line: Utilizes heritage ingredients like Giant BYoungPool and Jeju Lava Energy Water for intense nourishment.

1. Two-Phase Oil Mist – Strengthens the skin barrier and enhances hydration.
2. Dermatology First Package – Delivers concentrated hydration and nutrients for a plump, youthful glow.
3. Dermatology Cream – A deeply nourishing moisturizer that locks in hydration and supports skin repair.

4. Ignoring Your Skin Barrier

Your skin barrier is like a protective shield. If it’s weak or damaged, moisture escapes, leading to dryness and irritation. Riman’s Dermatology Booster Serum are designed to strengthen the barrier while keeping your skin soft and supple.

5. Over-Exfoliating

Exfoliation is great for removing dead skin cells, but too much of it can strip your skin of essential hydration. Limit exfoliation to 2-3 times per week and opt for a gentle exfoliant like Riman’s Cleansing Powder Wash, which exfoliates while maintaining moisture balance and keeping the skin refreshed and smooth.

The Bottom Line: Hydration Done Right

Now that you know what not to do, it’s time to hydrate smarter! Making small tweaks to your routine can mean the difference between dry, dull skin and a plump, radiant complexion. Need help finding the right products for your skin? Take my Skincare Quiz to discover your perfect Riman ritual!
