Moisture For Sure!

[*Saira*]

You think with the rains approaching, your skin does not need your help to quench its thirst…well, you need to think again…skin requires more than the body’s naturally moisturizing lipids…make a note of the following…

Drink lots of water…this will hydrate your body from the inside.

Choose a moisturizer that is not too greasy for the day…but a moisturizer is a must…aloe vera is known to work wonders on the skin…it can be especially beneficial during the monsoon, when you get wet in the rains because the rain water is not bereft of dirt and microbes. Apply the aloe vera gel directly onto the skin.

Even when you are at work, try to wash your face every couple of hours. If you cannot do that, keep a bottle of mineral water, in which you have added some cucumber juice, handy, and spray this mixture onto your face periodically.

Do not forget to use a creamier moisturiser before you hit the bed at night.

Do not compromise on the quality of the moisturizers you select. Use moisturizers that have vitamins, antioxidants and essential oils.

Remember no amount of make-up can camouflage a bad quality, dehydrated skin. Bring glow to your skin with just a little extra care…
