Is dry and dehydrated skin making you look older than you are?

As we age, our skin produces less oil to naturally lubricate it. That means our skin becomes drier and more dehydrated, causing wrinkles and fine lines to become more pronounced. If you’re already noticing visible signs of ageing on your skin and want to promote a youthful complexion, without having to worry about dryness or dehydration, take note of the following tips: Moisturise All skin types require moisture, even if your skin is currently on the oily side. If you have dry skin, it’s important to use a rich moisturiser to nourish and smooth. If you have oily to combination skin, try a light moisturising gel to gently hydrate. Use hyaluronic acid Hyaluronic acid, naturally found in the skin, attracts and holds large amounts of water. Using topical hyaluronic acid helps to retain moisture in the skin, as well as improving the texture of your skin to enhance radiance and smoothness. This aids the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to promote a youthful look. Stay hydrated As well as keeping your skin hydrated on the outside, it’s essential that you stay hydrated on the inside.

As we age, our skin produces less oil to naturally lubricate it. That means our skin becomes drier and more dehydrated, causing wrinkles and fine lines to become more pronounced. If you’re already noticing visible signs of ageing on your skin and want to promote a youthful complexion, without having to worry about dryness or dehydration, take note of the following tips:

Moisturise

All skin types require moisture, even if your skin is currently on the oily side. If you have dry skin, it’s important to use a rich moisturiser to nourish and smooth. If you have oily to combination skin, try a light moisturising gel to gently hydrate.

Use hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid, naturally found in the skin, attracts and holds large amounts of water. Using topical hyaluronic acid helps to retain moisture in the skin, as well as improving the texture of your skin to enhance radiance and smoothness. This aids the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to promote a youthful look.

Stay hydrated

As well as keeping your skin hydrated on the outside, it’s essential that you stay hydrated on the inside. Drinking at least 2 litres of water per day will ensure your body and skin is in the best health. Food with a high water content will also keep you well-hydrated, stock up on melon, cucumber, oranges, tomatoes and strawberries.

Avoid harsh skincare

Avoid using harsh skincare products in your beauty routine as these can strip your skin of its natural oils, causing dryness, flaking and irritation. Use gentle products, especially those with natural ingredients which are beneficial for your complexion.

Protect your skin from the sun

Too much sun exposure is extremely damaging for your skin, causing it to become dry and dehydrated accelerating the ageing process. Ensure you apply SPF before going out in the sun to protect your skin.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
