While they sound similar, these products perform distinct tasks. Hydrators draw water from the atmosphere and deliver it to the skin for added radiance, while moisturizers replenish the skin for less dryness and flakiness. Looking after your dry skin doesn&#8217;t have to cost a fortune there are some really good moisturizers available for reasonable prices, to give you an idea of a few take a look at this guide to cheap moisturizers for dry skin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a big difference in results,\u201d notes Mary Radford, RN, Director of Product Education at Rodan + Fields.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_hydrator\"><\/span>What is a hydrator?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with hydration. All skin types, not just visibly dry skin, benefit from added hydration. (That\u2019s right: Oily skin and acne-prone skin need hydration, too.) Hydrated skin feels softer and is better prepared to receive skincare products layered on top. In addition, \u201cHydrated skin acts and looks younger,\u201d says Mary.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_moisturizer\"><\/span>What is a moisturizer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Moisturization helps skin maintain the natural lipid barrier on its surface that keeps water from escaping \u2014 or at least slows the process. \u201cMoisturizers include ingredients to lock down hydration,\u201d says Mary.<\/p>\n<p>To look and feel its best, your skin needs both hydration and moisture. Fortunately, there are multitasking products that boost both at the same time, such as new Rodan + Fields Active Hydration Body Replenish.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choosing_the_right_skin_care_products\"><\/span>Choosing the right skin care products<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The new body cream from Rodan + Fields is a single product that works double-duty. It includes Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerin, super-hydrators that draw water from the atmosphere.
