Nourishing and moisturizing the skin: what is the difference?

We often confuse these 2 actions.

Moisturizing is to bring water. Nourishing is to bring lipids or fat.

Here is what each action consists of.

Moisturize

The skin loses water by evaporation little by little. It is thus necessary to replace this loss. How can we do this? Drink at least 1.5 L of water every day and eat fruits and vegetables rich in water: tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelons etc.

As far as cosmetics are concerned, use care products containing moisturizing ingredients such as aloe vera, honey and coconut milk.

Nourish

The "fats" improve the health and beauty of the skin. Certain foods such as eggs, cocoa, olive oil, fish and nuts are rich in fatty acids.

Whatever your skin type, use products that contain nourishing ingredients.

If you have oily skin, choose products that will protect your skin without clogging your pores. 

Anyway, make sure that your skin is hydrated and that it is moisturized.
