Dry skin

Dehydrated skin

Once you've discovered if you have dry or dehydrated skin; it's easy to fix!

Just follow my simple tips below to learn how to fix you dry or dehydrated skin!👇

Start using alcohol-free, oil-based cleansers, because this will relieve and treat the dryness and visibly improve the skin's texture 🥰

Alternatively, you can try using sweet almond oil; just massage the oil into your skin and then wipe away using damp cotton wool. 

Lastly; try to cleanse dry skin only at night 🌙

Have showers that are short and lukewarm. Five minutes in the shower is enough to get clean without over-drying and irritating your skin 🚿⏰

At night, apply avocado oil to the face and neck before applying your favourite night cream over the top! 🥑

In the day; look for day creams or lotions that contain Niacinamide, Glycerin or Omega oils.

For your body try applying a rich butter or cream. Look for ingredients such as Shea butter, Beeswax, Avocado oil, Vitamin E, Argan oil, Jojoba oil & 'Sunflower oil 🧴🌻

Lastly; Choose a soap-free, pH-balanced shower gel to give skin the chance to produce its own oils and moisture.

Omega 3 and 6 supplements encourage your skin's cell membranes to hold onto water and work as internal moisturisers, giving you beautiful skin from within 💧💕

I searched high and low to find a skincare supplement to help with your dry skin, and I found it in these Rejuvenated Collagen Shots.

Not only do these help dry skin, but they also help to lessen the look of fine lines and wrinkles! 👏

Install a humidifier by your bed to keep the air moist, and set the humidity at a constant 45% to 55%, and the temperature at a balmy 68 degrees Fahrenheit 🌡

Before you go outside in cold weather, also make sure to create your own moisture barrier. Protect your most sensitive parts – lips, face, and hands – with a scarf and gloves 🧣🧤

For dehydrated skin, look for water-based, oil-free face moisturisers with the words' hydra' or 'hydrating' on the label 💧🌟

You can also scan the ingredients on skincare for 'Hyaluronic Acid', 'Aloe Vera', 'Sodium PCA', 'Glycerol' or 'Glycerin'. Any one of these skincare ingredients will help your skin keep hold of the moisture it has.

The easiest way to help rehydrate the skin is to drink more water regularly. Aim to sip water continuously throughout your day 🥤

Fill a bottle or flask with water and carry it with you. Also, try and reduce alcohol and sugar in your diet.

Look for cleansers that are hydro-boosting gels and balms, that will help balance out your skin and add moisture! 💖

You can also try cleansing your skin using sweet almond oil; just massage the oil into your skin and then wipe away using damp, warm cotton wool. Do this morning and night 💆‍♀️

Try your best to eat plenty of water-rich foods, like grapes, watermelon, cucumber and tomatoes; perhaps increase your freshly made juices, soups and smoothies too 🍇🍉

Try taking a hydration supplement, such as this H30 night repair.

You can also try using a hydrating face mask at night 🧖‍♀️
