Forget Botox. The key to staving off wrinkles, it seems, is far simpler -- and less expensive. Skin scientists claim that a normal moisturiser is more than enough to smoothen the face.
In the first long-term study which measured the speed of wrinkle development, boffins discovered that dry skin more than doubles the speed at which wrinkles develop.
Some hydration tips are applicable to every skin type.
Follow these simple rules and you will notice that your skin looks and feels better, every day.
Hydrate your body to hydrate your skin naturally. As your body begins to lose water, the first place that it pulls it from is your skin. By ensuring that you drink enough water each day, you will provide your body with the fluids it needs to function, while keeping enough water in your skin.
Never over-cleanse. Washing your face or skin too often can strip essential oils from the skin, creating a more serious dry skin problem. Some oil is necessary to protect the skin and help it to retain moisture.
Avoid harsh environments. Extreme sunlight, heat and cold can wreak havoc on the condition of your skin. Protect yourself with sunscreen or moisturiser, and cover exposed skin when possible. Indoors, use humidifiers to keep dry air from draining the water from your skin.
Dump bad habits. Smoking, alcoholic beverages and caffeine all have poor effects on the hydration of skin. Cut these factors out of your life, or at the very least, keep them at a minimum.
Eat well. Diets that are balanced and include enough natural fatty acids help to keep the skin hydrated and elastic.
Remember the rest of your body. Of course, the face is the first thing we think of when it comes to skin care, but the skin of the rest of the body is just as important. By moisturising from head to toe, you’ll get the all over glow that you have always wanted.
Having beautiful, hydrated skin does not have to cost a fortune. By knowing your skin type and understanding what you need to do to keep it hydrated and healthy, you can have beautiful glowing skin. While adopting good skincare practices later in life may not turn back the clock on damage that was already done, it can certainly prevent future damage. Do your best to care for your skin and enjoy the beautiful effects.
