Having dry skin can be tricky to deal with all year round but especially when it comes to wintertime. Whether it is due to your skin type, your environment or products that you are using that have caused dry skin, there are always solutions you can turn to which can help minimise the dryness and hydrate your skin.
Water
Obviously, a clear solution is to drink plenty of water. Since our bodies are made up of 60% water and need it to survive, it’s only natural to turn to this source of hydration. We need water to help transport nutrients to the body and it can help hydrate the cells from within.
Facials
If you already drink lots of water, it might be worth turning to facials or treatments to help with dry skin. There are facials called ‘Lactic Peels’ which works to target the top layer of the skin and breaks down the dead cells, allowing them to be buffed away and removed so that fresh and smooth skin is revealed. These types of peels are great for faster cell turn-over and can help reduce the appearance of dry skin.
Treatments
If a gentle chemical peel doesn’t appeal to you, there are other options like Hydrating Facials which work to combine enzymes and other vitamins to plump and hydrate your skin. At GC Skin Boutique, the Hydrating Facial involves an ultra-hydrating mask which is then followed by a LED light which works to enhance the products.
Products
Another great way to keep your skin hydrated is to use moisturiser and other hydrating serums on your skin after cleansing. There are plenty of products on the market so make sure you look for ones that don’t contain alcohol which can be drying. Try also to use an ointment or cream rather than a light-weight lotion to ensure you are getting maximum hydration.
