Dry weather can make the skin dry and lacking moisture. To keep the skin moisturized during the dry season, here are 5 ways to “hydrate” and enhance the moisture level for the skin. Apply these regularly to ensure you have smooth and hydrated skin.
1. Use facial mist between skincare steps
Sunlight, dust make you sweat more, dirt also sticks more to the skin and especially the skin produces more oil. Oily skin has active sebaceous glands that lead to a constantly shiny appearance on the cheeks, nose, and forehead, especially during hot and humid days, the skin produces even more oil. At this time, facial mist is your “savior”. Facial mist also helps soothe irritated skin in case of allergic reactions to cosmetics, itching…
Facial mist is a useful tool, so spray it after cleansing the skin and before applying the next skincare step, this will create a moisturizing environment, helping the nutrients from the skincare products to penetrate deeper into the skin. You should choose a mineral-rich facial mist that helps balance the pH level.
2. Use a dedicated moisturizing serum
In winter, don’t forget to use an additional dedicated moisturizing serum. A moisturizing serum contains concentrated nutrients that help provide and retain moisture for the skin. Choose a serum containing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or ceramide, these ingredients help maintain the basic moisture level for the skin.
3. Exfoliate regularly
Exfoliating helps remove dead cells on the skin surface, helping the skin absorb nutrients better. You should use a gentle exfoliator that does not damage the skin. But you should only maintain this habit 1 – 2 times a week.
4. Use a facial oil after moisturizer
For dry skin, using a layer of facial oil after moisturizer can help retain moisture more effectively. Choose natural oils such as almond oil, sunflower oil, or grape seed oil to lock in moisture for the skin and create a protective barrier.
5. Apply a moisturizing face mask
A moisturizing face mask is an excellent solution to provide optimal moisture for the skin. You should apply a face mask 1-2 times a week to supply deep moisture to the skin and enhance elasticity.
Also, don’t forget to drink enough water every day and use a suitable moisturizer for the skin. Remember that protecting the skin’s moisture needs to be done from the inside and outside to have soft and smooth skin.
