Tip #2 Hydrate from inside and out

 

Over-exposure of the skin during the summer may mean that it's suffering from dehydration. The moisture lost needs to be properly supplemented before the onset of winter. Moisturise at least twice daily after cleansing. Dry, normal and combination skin types may use a light serum, gel or lotion. For drier skin types, choose a thicker cream based moisturiser meant for dry skin.

 

Along with your facial skin, you need to take care of your body also. Be sure to take short warm baths and apply moisturiser onto your damp skin.

 

Don't forget your lips too, they often get dehydrated and dry. One of  Favourites is the SkinCeuticals AOX Lip Complex

Summer means dehydration and therefore more water intake for replenishing the moisture lost, but that should not change once the temperatures drop. In fact, you should continue to drink at least eight glasses of water a day throughout the year, irrespective of seasonal changes. This will help you to flush out the body toxins better thereby ensuring a problem-free skin.
