Chok Chok (촉촉) in Korean translates to "dewy" or "moist" and is often used to describe deeply hydrated skin.

It's, almost winter and I believe some of us are experiencing dry skin from changes in temperature, humidity level, and our heaters! It is very important that we keep our skin hydrated – when our skin loses moisture, it easily gets irritated, itchy and sensitive. And dry skin causes fine lines, flakes on our faces, uneven skin tone and in extreme cases, even cracks that may bleed. Switching our skincare regimen with some thicker creams may help, but did you know that some of the ingredients in the cream may not be safe for some of us with sensitive skin to use?

Here, we are introducing 3 Chok Chok Heroes that are actually safe for all skin types!

Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic acid, which is also labeled as Hyaluronan or Sodium Hyaluronate on some products, is well known for its special ability to attract and store up to 1,000 times its weight of water! It provides hydration benefits and is ideal for all types of skin! This hero can be found in the human body naturally; in our joints, nerves, hair, eyes and our skin – this keeps our skin soft and plump. However, as we age, our ability to produce hyaluronic acid declines. So it is always good to replenish what we lost!  

Ceramides: Ceramides are one of the components of the natural oils in the layers of our skin. They help our skin cells stay together and this can help strengthen the skin barrier – strong skin barrier protects the skin from bacteria entering (which may cause irritation), environmental factors like pollution and UV rays, and retains moisture to keep our skin hydrated.

Panthenol: This hero turns into Vitamin B when it is absorbed into the skin. And Vitamin B is well known to be an effective agent to soothe, rejuvenate and strengthen the skin barrier! Remember – a stronger skin barrier reduces the amount of water we lose in our skin, and keeping in more moisture improves skin texture and makes our skin smoother and supple.
