How BIOVOLTÉ Restores True Hydration with a Simple Duo System

Let’s be honest: most moisturizers feel soothing at first, but hours later your skin is dry again. Why? Because traditional creams and lotions are mostly water—80–90% in fact. That water cools the skin on contact, but quickly evaporates. In warm, dry, or air-conditioned environments, this evaporation can even pull more moisture out of your skin, leaving it thirstier than before.

So, you apply more. And more. Caught in a cycle of temporary relief instead of lasting improvement. Even formulas with humectants (like glycerin or hyaluronic acid) or synthetic emollients don’t always get to the root of the problem.

That’s because your skin isn’t just a surface to cover—it’s a living, intelligent barrier. To stay hydrated, it needs deep replenishment, barrier strength, and cellular energy support.

---

Back in the 1960s, Dr. Albert M. Kligman (USA) discovered something that changed skincare forever: the outer layer of your skin — the stratum corneum — is not just “dead flakes.” It’s a living barrier system that decides what gets in and what gets out.

What This Barrier Really Does

Think of your skin barrier like a smart filter:

• Shields you — it blocks pollutants, allergens, and irritants from entering.
• Releases moisture — it constantly lets water escape, a process called Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL).

This delicate balance explains why skin dries out so easily: the barrier is designed to leak water, not store it.

Why Splashing Water Isn’t Enough

Ever noticed that rinsing your face makes it feel hydrated for a few minutes — then drier? Here’s why:

• Surface water evaporates quickly.
• It can even increase TEWL if no protective lipids are there to lock it in.
• True hydration only comes when you strengthen the barrier with nourishing oils, electrolytes, and humectants that hold water where it belongs.

Modern Science Confirms It

German studies in the 1990s proved this with advanced barrier research: the skin allows water out but refuses to let water in from the outside.

HydraStep 1: BIOVOLTÉ MIST

Not just a refreshing spray — BIOVOLTÉ MIST is an awakening infusion of vitality. Powered by five skin-essential electrolytes, three adaptogenic mushrooms, and our 22-herb LevensESSENTIE™ complex, it recharges tired skin with instant hydration and renewed energy. The electrolytes work to draw and bind water deep within the skin, restoring balance at a cellular level.

With every application, BIOVOLTÉ MIST revives radiance, visibly improves tone and texture, and leaves skin feeling firm, supple, and refreshed. Over time, it helps soften the appearance of fine lines while defending against daily environmental stressors.

As the essential base for HydraStep 2: BIOVOLTÉ DEW, always apply while skin is still slightly moist — this ensures maximum penetration and sets the stage for transformative results.

BIOVOLTÉ DEW

Daily Ritual — Morning, Evening, and Anytime Between

Apply While Skin is Receptive
While BIOVOLTÉ MIST is still absorbing, place 2–3 drops of BIOVOLTÉ DEW into the palm of your hand.

Distribute with Care
Rub lightly between palms, then smooth over face and neck. Finish with gentle patting to encourage absorption.

Adapt to Your Skin’s Needs

Oily or humid climates: 1–2 drops are enough to balance hydration without heaviness.

Normal to dry skin: Use a slightly more generous amount to deeply nourish and restore comfort.

Let it Permeate
Allow DEW to fully sink into the skin before applying other products or makeup.

Tips for Best Results
Always apply to slightly damp skin — this allows the herbs, mushrooms, and electrolytes to penetrate more effectively and seal in hydration.
