For 19 years, Dermacare has been helping San Diego and Orange County glow—and what better way to celebrate our anniversary than with 19 expert tips for keeping your skin hydrated and healthy? Whether you’re battling dryness, looking for the perfect moisturizer, or wanting that dewy, youthful glow, these dermatologist-approved tips will keep your skin feeling soft, supple, and radiant all year long.
From skincare must-haves to hydration hacks you might not expect, we’re sharing our top recommendations to help you lock in moisture and keep your skin looking its best. Let’s dive in!
1. Shine Bright Like a Diamond With DiamondGlow
DiamondGlow is a signature treatment that combines exfoliation, extraction, and infusion to deeply cleanse and hydrate your skin. This treatment improves texture, enhances radiance, and maximizes hydration by infusing serums tailored to your skin’s needs. Regular DiamondGlow treatments can also boost the effectiveness of your skincare products.
2. Experience the Skinvive Difference
Skinvive is a revolutionary hydrating treatment that infuses hyaluronic acid into the skin, improving moisture retention and hydration. This treatment is most suitable for the cheeks and lips to add hydration, appear smoother, and achieve a radiant glow.
3. HA-5 Hydra Collagen® – the Holy Grail of Hydration
HA-5 Hydra Collagen® features five forms of hyaluronic acid, working on multiple layers of the skin to deliver long-lasting moisture. This lightweight yet powerful serum enhances hydration and reduces fine lines.
4. Dermacare Moisturizers – Tailored for Your Skin’s Needs
Dermacare Moisturizers are formulated to suit various skin types, addressing concerns like sensitivity, acne, and aging. Whether you need a lightweight lotion or a deeply nourishing cream, these products ensure your skin remains soft, smooth, and hydrated.
5. Hydrate With Facials
Regular facials can help replenish moisture while addressing specific skin concerns. Dermacare offers customized facials designed to boost hydration, brighten dull skin, and soothe irritation.
6. Drink Plenty of Water
Hydration starts from within. Drinking at least eight glasses of water daily keeps your skin plump and reduces dryness. Plain water can get boring for some people (especially if you’re not used to drinking it all the time), so adding fresh lemon or cucumber to your water can make you feel fancy and provide excellent hydrating, digestive, and immune system benefits.
7. Glow Up with Sculptra
Sculptra® is a game-changer for skin hydration, working deep beneath the surface to stimulate collagen production and restore your skin’s natural volume. Over time, it improves texture and elasticity, giving you a radiant, youthful glow that’s all your own. Perfect for anyone looking to rejuvenate tired, dull skin without the need for traditional fillers, Sculptra offers a natural, glowing transformation.
8. Dermacare Soothing Green Tea Mist – Refresh on the Go
Soothing Green Tea Mist hydrates and calms irritated skin while providing antioxidant protection. This is a great product to keep in your purse for those hot, summer days when you’re at the beach or watching your child play a sport – make sure to use SPF, though! The Green Tea Mist is also very calming after a busy day in the sun and the ingredients help to gently rehydrate your skin.
9. Dermacare Lactic Glow or Extra Strength Hydrating Serums
Both of our Lactic Glow and Extra Strength Hydrating Serums deeply nourish and restore moisture while enhancing skin texture without irritating the skin. These products are an excellent choice for minimizing fine lines, wrinkles, and the size of your pores all while hydrating and protecting the skin.
10. Potenza RF Microneedling w/ Skinvive – Advanced Microneedling Meets Hydration
Potenza RF Microneedling combined with Skinvive enhances collagen production and provides deep, lasting hydration. Potenza combines the power of radiofrequency and microneedling into one treatment to treat wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and acne to reveal a youthful, more radiant glow.
11. Avoid Hot Water When Showering
Hot water can feel so nice, especially on a chilly day or after a day at the beach to get all the sand off. But, it isn’t always the best for your skin. In order to keep your skin healthy and hydrated, we recommend that you opt for warm showers instead of hot ones to prevent stripping the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
12. Try Chemical Peels
Chemical peels remove dead skin cells, improving hydration absorption and skin texture. These treatments are suitable for all skin types and are relatively quick for downtown, some lasting up to seven days. Your skin will look so much brighter and feel much more hydrated after your chemical peel treatment at Dermacare.
13. PRP – Boost Collagen for Youthful, Hydrated Skin
PRP therapy stimulates natural hydration and collagen production, restoring skin elasticity. The great thing about PRP is that it uses your own blood during the treatment, which eliminates any chance of having an allergic reaction, making it one of the safest and most successful skin care treatments.
14. HA Fillers – Deep Hydration With Instant Results
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers add volume and hydration to the skin, enhancing a youthful glow. The HA in the fillers attract and retain moisture to create a plumping effect. During this process, your body is replenishing the natural hyaluronic acid that is in your body, ultimately hydrating and healing from within.
15. Limit Caffeine and Alcohol
Who doesn’t love a good iced coffee or a girls’ (or guys’) night out? Unfortunately, our bodies don’t. Both caffeine and alcohol dehydrate the skin, which causes both men’s and women’s skin to feel tight, dry, and itchy. It can also make your skin look dull, wrinkled, and tired. We recommend that you balance caffeine and alcohol consumption with plenty of water. Have those yummy drinks and fun nights, but also be smart and drink your water.
16. Eat a Hydrating Diet and Get Enough Sleep
Eating the proper foods is detrimental to achieving a healthy body. Incorporate foods rich in water and omega-3 fatty acids, and aim for seven to eight hours of sleep each night to promote skin hydration. Adding these small but essential steps into your daily life will make your body and skin look and feel amazing.
17. Dermacare Vitamin C Brightening Serum – Hydrate and Brighten
Vitamin C Brightening Serum enhances hydration while protecting against environmental damage. Dermacare’s smooth and soft formula brightens the skin without irritation for immediate benefits. With continued use, your skin can appear more even and radiant over time.
18. Dermacare Collagen Peptide Therapy – Restoring Skin’s Firmness and Hydration
Collagen Peptide Therapy rebuilds the skin while protecting the new skin and providing healthy antioxidants that continue to protect the outer layer. This treatment also boosts hydration, elasticity, and skin firmness.
19. Protect With Dermacare Age Defense Sunscreen
Sunscreen is life! We all know that being tan helps to give off some confidence and a beautiful glow, but so does healthy, protected skin. At Dermacare Medical Aesthetics, we offer our Age Defense Sunscreen that is perfect for shielding the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. It is enhanced with cooling and moisturizing HA, cucumber, and squalane to keep your skin feeling fresh. This product is great to wear alone or under makeup.
