There is no question that remaining hydrated is part of having healthy skin. I know if I’ve been flying, or sick, or dehydrated for any reason, my skin looks dull and lack-luster. Staying hydrated combined with gentle exfoliation and a good skincare regiment is the best way to keep the skin moisturized and glowing. Almost all of my favourite skincare products contain hyaluronic acid, which is also a structural product in our skin and connective tissues. In quality skincare products (I said quality, not expensive…more on that in another post) the hyaluronic acid molecules are small enough to penetrate and plump up the skin adding moisture.

When we sweat, in hot weather or while exercising, our skin may look like it has a healthy glow, but losing that hydration doesn’t actually help our skin. Without replenishing the lost potassium and sodium electrolytes we lose from sweating, we may be making our skin vulnerable to dryness and dehydration. Sadly, we are not plants, and drinking water alone does not replenish our skin- we need to replenish our electrolytes.

Imagine if we could ingest our beauty routine? Well, at least part of it, in a complimentary fashion.

I’ve been using Deciem Hyaluronic Molecule and Age Quencher Beauty Electrolyte for a couple months and they have become a necessary part of my beauty routine. It’s as easy as a scoop of Age Quencher in a watermelon smoothie – trust me. Delicious. It has a citrus taste that is tart and refreshing and actually tastes great in a glass of water!

Or, a couple teaspoons of my Molecule in a coconut water & banana smoothie! Delicious and satisfying! It has a sweet honey-ginger taste and you can actually just eat it right off the spoon. I also love it in green tea. Yummy!
