Restore balance and hydrate your skin with these five tips:
Drink lots of water
About 60% of our body is made of water, which plays a major role in our body’s functions. It is recommended for one to drink at least 8 glasses of water every day. One must also include fruits and vegetables that are high in water content like watermelon, musk melon, spinach, and lettuce.
Do not take hot showers
Hot showers help water to flow out of our skin and evaporate into the shower, therefore dehydrating the skin. To ensure that water stays within the skin, short, lukewarm showers are the best solution.
Use hydrating skincare products
Serums are the best in terms of delivering hydrating ingredients to the skin, while moisturisers serve as a protective blanket and lock ingredients in, which is also useful in preventing dehydration. Stock up on products that contain hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerine, citric acid, and ceramides.
Moisturise damp skin
Smooth on your moisturiser within a few minutes of getting out of the shower, it helps make the most of the surface moisture on the skin before it has a chance to evaporate.
Avoid dehydrating drinks and food
Alcohol, excessive coffee, beverages, and processed foods are high in sodium and sugars. Consumption of these products leads to dehydration, which makes the skin look dull.
