hydrating

Replenishing body fluids

Hydrating means adding or restoring moisture.

Skin care products hydrate the skin; drinking water hydrates the body.

The word appears constantly in wellness and beauty marketing: This serum is deeply hydrating.

To hydrate is also to combine chemically with water.

Someone who is dehydrated needs hydrating—replenishing lost fluids: Hydrating after exercise is essential.
