HOW TO KEEP YOUR SKIN HYDRATED ALL THROUGHOUT SUMMER

With warmer weather approaching, comes our skin being more exposed to the sun. Therefore, it's now extra important to keep our skin looking and feeling more hydrated!

Here are some of our top tips to help your skin looking amazing all summer long!

Only bath/shower in luke-warm water

When bathing or showering, make sure that the temperature of the water is not too high. Very warm or hot water can worsen a dry skin condition. Try to limit the amount of time in the bath or shower, too, in order to further prevent more drying.

Apply oil or moisturiser immediately after bathing and showering

After bathing, or even being exposed to warmer water, the pores are opened and therefore in perfect condition to absorb moisture.

Shortly after bathing and while the skin is still damp, apply a generous amount of moisturiser all over your body. This is also a great time to apply your skincare routine.

Drink lots of water

Water keeps your body hydrated and refreshed and helps maintain your skin's elasticity. People who drink large amounts of water are less likely to suffer from scars, wrinkles, and soft lines and they won't show as many signs of aging as those who drink little amounts of water. We recommend drinking at least 8 glasses of water per day and more when it is hot

Choose clean, hydrating body cleansers.

Instead of general body washes (that are known for actually drying out your skin), opt instead for body cleansers made with gentle ingredients such as aloe vera, herbal extracts, and nourishing oils to help moisturise the skin while removing dirt.

We recommend staying clear from body cleansers that are highly perfumed as these can cause or aggravate already dry skin.
