1. Apply moisturiser twice a day daily to maintain skin hydration year round. Your skin constantly loses moisture. Daily moisturising strengthens the skin barrier, retains moisture, prevents dryness, shields against pollution, cold air and improves elasticity for a healthy glowing skin.
2. Hydration is the key for all skin types-oily, dry and combination. Even oily skin needs lightweight non comedogenic moisturiser.
3. Switch your routine while the season changes. In colder months –Use thicker and nourishing moisturisers like ceramides and fatty acids.
In warmer months – lighter gel based ones like hyaluronic acid. 4. Choose gentle cleansers and avoid soap and hot showers.
5. Moisturise right after cleansing while your skin is still damp. Don’t forget your lips. 6. Use a moisturiser with SPF in daytime.
7. Men’s skin also needs a moisturiser daily.
8. Serums should be applied before moisturiser . Moisturiser acts as a barrier locking in the serum’s active ingredients.
9.Consume hydrating foods like Cucumber, Oranges and Berries along with healthy fats such as Avocados and nuts to enhance skin moisture.
10. Stay hydrated . Drink 7-8 glasses of water daily. Limit caffeine and alcohol.
