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

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.
