Help your skin out this summer – stay hydrated!

Staying hydrated is one of the most important things you can do for your skin. Because of the way our bodies work, when you become dehydrated, the skin is the first organ to receive less water. Now, bear in mind that feeling thirsty is your body’s way of telling you that you’re dehydrated, that means every time you feel thirsty, your skin’s access to water has already been restricted. In the summer, it becomes even more important to stay hydrated because even with a slight increase in temperature, dehydration becomes far more likely.

Your skin needs easy access to water for several reasons, but the first is that on the surface of your skin is an invisible layer called the hydrolipidic film, which is a mixture of oil and water that protects your skin from outside damage and also helps it to retain moisture inside it. Without enough water, the hydrolipidic film doesn’t work properly, causing dehydration, dryness and sometimes, even oiliness. Other reasons to stay hydrated include the fact that dehydrated skin can become lined, look dull, and feel rough.

Why is it so important?

Your skin needs easy access to water for several reasons, but the first is that on the surface of your skin is an invisible layer called the hydrolipidic film, which is a mixture of oil and water that protects your skin from outside damage and also helps it to retain moisture inside it. Without enough water, the hydrolipidic film doesn’t work properly, causing dehydration, dryness and sometimes, even oiliness. Other reasons to stay hydrated include the fact that dehydrated skin can become lined, look dull, and feel rough.

Hydration tips

Remembering to drink enough water can be tricky, especially if you don’t notice you’re thirsty until you’re absolutely gasping for a drink. Get yourself a nice reusable water bottle that you’ll want to keep by your side all the time, and set yourself a goal for how many full bottles you want to have drunk throughout the day. There are lots of apps that can help you to remember as well!

Drinking enough water is the first step towards having great skin, but don’t forget that there are lots of other important things you need to do for your skin, especially in summer. Remember to exfoliate regularly to help maintain healthy skin function, and never skip your SPF!

Rebecca Willshee Nail and Beauty Specialist

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
