Transepidermal water loss is a condition in which water/moisture passively evaporates through the layers of the skin, including the topmost layer, i.e. the barrier. This occurs due to a number of environmental factors such as humidity levels, fluctuating temperatures and even seasonal changes. This phenomenon only leaves your skin looking dull, dry and dehydrated. To combat this, you need a hydrator that will not only repair and protect your skin’s barrier but also lock in moisture to keep your skin hydrated and plump.Hydra Tonique [Gel Crème] is enriched with Phaeophyceae [seaweed] found in the sea of Bretagne, France as well as Vitamin E to prevent transepidermal water loss.
