Your skin can become classically dry as we move out of the winter season particularly in Torquay! To take extra care, here’s some advice on what you can do externally as well! Internally hydrating by drinking enough water helps to better retain moisture. What can we do to meet that internal good work externally!?
- Keep your skin well moisturised by applying a lotion or very light oil liberally every time you have finished bathing. The moisture that seeps in during baths and showers is lost quickly if not sealed in with a good moisturiser. Always apply within 5 minutes of drying off.
- Instead of using just plain water – mist dry, delicate facial areas with a hydrating spritzer followed by a nutrient rich moisturiser. Ordinary water evaporates, which intensifies the dryness. Look for a moisturiser preferably one with emollients like Vitamin E. Look for Skin Care support.
- To avoid breakouts never go to bed at night with your makeup on. Even oil-free makeup can clog pores and affect the tone and clarity. Allow that extra 5 minutes at night to ‘cleanse the day away’!
- Managing stress levels- this can play an important part of your skin care regimen. High levels of stress can trigger problems- eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, breakouts and acne. Find ways to calm yourself..pop in contact us or visit us in Torquay!
Remember- Maintaining healthy skin both internally and externally is your best investment! See you soon!
