💦 Hi Beautiful, is your skin dry or dehydrated?
💧Your moisture barrier may need some love, this isn't just about water intake or products, it is an overall approach.
💦 SLEEP …
• If possible, try stick to a sleep routine, because as sleep approaches, the body begins to conserve water.
• The skin's ability to retain water follows a 24-hour rhythm, influenced by factors like the stratum corneum's water content and the function of aquaporin-3, a protein that helps transport water.
💧PILLOW …
• Look at changing your pillow case to a softer, less absorbent and abrasive fabric, such as silk, bamboo, or satin, this is thought to help reduce moisture absorption than you would normally have happen from cotton.
💦 CLEANSERS …
• Ensure your cleansers are right for you, to avoid stripping your skin of its natural moisture barrier
💧SKIN CARE …
• Skin care products with the ingredients that are going to replenish that moisture as well as help to prevent Trans Epidermal Water Loss.
💦 FACIALS …
• Consider professional facials every 4-6 weeks that address dehydrated/Dry skin, to improve skin barrier and penetration of moisture, while also restoring hydration through infusion or assist on creating hydration, on a deeper level.
💧INTERNAL TIPS …
• Focus on water rich foods, such as fruits and vegetables.
• Drinks like water and coconut water are great, even herbal teas too.
• Avoid dehydrating beverages such as: Coffee, sugary drinks like fizzy, and alcohol.
💦 INTERNAL ~ WATER …
• To repair your moisture barrier and replenish skin hydration, you need to give your body what it needs to stay hydrated, this being water.
• The outermost layer of your skin is 30% water, and focusing on staying hydrated may help offset water loss and increase skin barrier function.
💧INTERNAL ~ FOOD …
• Consuming foods like salmon and tuna are high in healthy fats, which may help strengthen your skin’s moisture barrier.
• Vegan or vegetarian?
You can get these nutrients from plant-based sources, like flax seed, which is rich in omega-3s, or pumpkin seeds, which are rich in omega-6s.
💦 STRESS …
• Stress may impair your skin barrier function and delay the repair process, so where possible, try keep stress levels to a minimum.
💧SHOWER …
• Try to avoid hot showers to prevent natural oils being reduced.
💦 ALWAYS SPF …
• A broad spectrum SPF of at least 30+ daily.
Not only does SPF protect your skin from sun damage but it can also help prevent stress on your skin’s moisture barrier.
💧COMMITMENT …
• These are not instant fixes, but with consistency and commitment these tips can help.
