Hydration Station – how to prevent and treat dry skin

WHAT CAUSES IT:

Dehydration of the skin is something that we all encounter at some point. Ultimately it occurs when our body is losing more water then it is taking in, which transfers to the appearance and texture of our skin. Many external factors can contribute, including our diet, lack of water consumption, exposure to air conditioning for long periods of time and also the weather. Signs of dehydration can come in the form of irritation, sensitivity and inflammation caused from an over production of oil. Our skin can then go into ‘fix it’ mode when its dry by producing more, and in most cases too much oil (this is not to be confused with an Oily Skin type). You will also feel as if your skin has a rough surface and tight. You may also notice that you get under eye circles and your fine lines become more prominent. Overall we are left with a dull complexion and miss that glow more then ever!

HOW TO TREAT IT:

Working from the inside out is always important. Hot tip: some great foods to include in your diet to help with skin hydration are watermelon, cucumber, papaya, coconut and lemon water. But using the right products will turn your skin around and ultimately be the most important thing you can do for dehydrated skin. It is crucial to always understand what your skin type is to ensure you are using products that are correct for your skin type.
