Just because the dry winter is making an exit, it doesn’t mean I no longer need serious skin hydration. This is the time of year when I switch to something lighter and not oil-based, like Shu Uemura’s Depsea Hydrability moisturizing lotion. This is some intense hydration with hyaluronic acid, and when they say it plumps your skin cells, it’s true! It gives you that radiant glow of moist skin, rather than the unattractive glare of greasy skin. It also improves your skin’s ability to lock in moisture, so it delivers a double-blow! Additionally, there’s the bonus benefit of its exfoliating agent that removes dead skin cells. So it not only replenishes, it brightens and smoothes your skin’s texture. If you use it at night, you’ll wake up still infused with hydration. It’s especially good for traveling when your skin gets parched and in need of help. It’s so sad that Shu Uemura no longer has a physical presence in the US, but luckily they are still available online. At Shu Uemura for $37.
