361. "Hydration Hacking" Explained: Myths, Facts & What Works for Skin


Listen Later

This week on Expert, Skin Therapist Tegan and co-host Sadaf are diving into one of 2025’s biggest beauty trends: hydration hacking. From electrolyte powders on your desk to “injectable moisturisers,” we’re breaking down what actually keeps your skin plump, dewy, and healthy – and what’s just clever marketing.

We unpack:

  • The difference between hydration, moisture, and barrier repair (and why it matters)

  • Electrolyte powders, collagen blends, and injectables like Profhilo – are they worth it?

  • The truth about hyaluronic acid, moisture sandwiching, and slugging

  • Lifestyle factors you might be overlooking that leave skin parched

In Win, Bin or Recycle, we debate baby powder after a shower. In Adore Anonymous, we answer a listener’s question about how many skincare steps you actually need (hint: it’s not ten).

Everything mentioned:

  • K18 HeatBounce Conditioning Heat Protectant
  • SkinCeuticals HA Intensifier

  • Vida Glow Pro Collagen +

  • Sodii Everyday Hydration Salts - Tub - Unflavoured

  • Vitadrop Rapid Hydration Sugar Free - 30 Serves

  • Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide™

Whether you’re team serum, powder, or slugging, this episode will help you cut through the noise and get to the heart of what really hydrates skin.
