Ahh… the busy holiday season is upon us and in full swing. I’m sure many of you have noticed dry skin once the colder weather arrived, the humidity level dropped and the moisture in the air decreased.
While we’re all fondly remembering our recent summer fun in the sun (with its sneaky damage) it only added to dry skin. But do not worry too much—you can alleviate the problem by hydrating.
Our busy lives make is easy to sometimes forget to hydrate ourselves internally and externally. Dehydrated skin can be rescued by recognizing the early signs of dehydration. Dehydrated skin is itchy, flaky skin with redness or patches of redness, a rough texture to the skin (instead of smooth) and those unwanted fine lines.
Drinking water daily helps to keep the skin, which is our largest organ as well as our other organs, hydrated internally. Eat lots of fruits and veggies too. Additionally, using a hydrating moisturizer will help externally. Moisturizers containing glycolic really penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, increasing molecules that collect and retain moisture. These molecules are called GAGS.
Check your home humidifier and make sure it is working. You may need to add moisture with a small, portable humidifier. Again, remember to hydrate internally by drinking six to eight glasses of water and avoid pop and caffeine. Try not to take extremely hot showers and limit your time in the shower. Moisturize your skin daily from head to toe.
Look for products such as Clinage’s containing Vitamin A, C, and E. Apply a spray mist before using your moisturizer to help absorption. Our Clinage Renewal Spray Mist with green tea and vitamins is also a great choice and makes a wonderful gift too.
Until next time…..hydrate and stay well…..Visit clinage.com for more info.
