5 Tips on How to Hydrate Your Skin

Proper skin hydration is essential if you’re opting to maintain youthful and healthy-looking skin (which you probably are). In fact, dehydrated skin is one of the most common issues women face. It can cause irritation, inflammation, flaky skin, and can even accelerate the skin’s natural aging process. 

But keeping your skin hydrated shouldn’t be a hard thing to do - there are several tips and tricks that you can apply to your daily skincare regimen that would restore the suppleness to your complexion. With these little secrets, your skin will glow from the inside out; making you look brighter than ever! 

 

 A Power Shower

If it’s hydration you’re looking for, what better way to get it than enjoy a refreshing steaming shower? Well, that’s where you’re mistaken. While showers cleanse the skin and remove unwanted bacteria, having the wrong rinsing habits could hinder your skin. For instance, if you use hot water, it can rob the skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry and tight. Instead, use lukewarm water when you’re gently rinsing your face. The water will then open the pores and allow for the skin to naturally capture the moisture -  keeping it fresh throughout the day! 

 

 

When it comes to skin hydration from the inside out - drinking an adequate amount of water is your best course of action. The recommended number of 8 glasses of water a day can boost your skin’s appearance, as well as improve your blood circulation, which in turn, affects your complexion and overall feeling. More importantly, it will help sustain hydrated, smoother and well-balanced skin. 

 

 

Sometimes, instead of focusing on active hydration, we should be focusing on ways to prevent our skin from losing its moisture. That is, there are certain habits that dehydrate the skin and can be quite easily avoided. For example, applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen can assist in blocking out those UV rays and prevent skin damage that results in dehydration and possibly, even burns. And if that’s not enough, the sun is known for breaking down collagen - that same protein keeping your skin’s vivacity and elasticity.  

 

 

The Good Fat 

If we are what we eat - another great way to recapture moisture is through the food we eat. Certain foods have been known to have a hydrating effect on our skin. These foods include natural oils such as coconut and avocado, but also foods rich with fibre, such as oatmeal and leafy greens. All these are enriched with some of the essential vitamins and proteins that the skin needs in order to be thoroughly nourished and balanced. 

 

 

The Essence of Skin Hydration 

Of course the most efficient way to keep your skin healthy moisturized is by choosing the best skin hydration products that would complement your skin. A good moisturizer could in fact make all the difference. With Aqua Mineral’s Youth Essence Facial Serum you’ll be able to infuse your skin with enriching ingredients that would increase skin’s moisture retention. But even more so, you’ll know that your skin is replenished using some of the most natural and potent ingredients - healing and hydrating your skin just as you deserve.
