How to Hydrate Your Skin
Water: the (not so) secret elixir to good health - don’t we know it! But, when it comes to hydrating our skin, are we quite as clued-up? Humidity, hard water, air conditioning, and our diet can all play a small part in sapping vital moisture from our skin. No panic, there’s help! From a hydrating face mask (don’t mind if we do) to the best way to apply a hydrating face cream, find out how to hydrate skin with these tips.
1. Hand-pick kind ingredients
Checking the ingredients in our fave yoghurt is a no-brainer, but what about in our skincare? Look out for things like harsh chemicals, artificial colours, and fragrances, which can strip moisture from the skin, leaving it feeling parched, dry, and dull. Not sure where to start? Pick products that keep it kind and include skin-loving ingredients like PENTAVITIN®, Pro-Vitamin B5, Vitamin E, Jojoba Oil, and Glycerin.
2. Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise
Moisturiser is a must for helping keep skin hydrated, and our lipid barrier feeling happy – we know it! So, why not make your moisturiser work a little harder for your skin? First up, apply it within a few minutes of stepping out of the bath or shower - this way you don’t lose excess water from your skin. If richer creams leave your skin looking a little shiny during the day, night-time is the best time to slather them on.
