5 ways to keep your skin hydrated and happy

Dry skin is not only unsightly, but is also a pain! And, it gets worse in the humid, monsoon weather. While we are sure that you keep your moisturiser close, sometimes in extreme and changing weather, it is not enough for your parched skin. But, don’t stress it. There are ways, many actually, to keep your skin hydrated and happy and we have rounded them up here, just for you.

Take a look as we list 5 ways to make sure your skin is super hydrated and healthy at all times. Read on.

Slap on a face mask

Face masks can provide your skin with an extra boost of hydration, instantly. Be it a sheet mask or a cream one, face masks are loaded with moisturising ingredients which nourish your skin and keep it healthy and hydrated.

Keep your shower time short

Long and hot showers are comforting and relaxing, we know but they steal the natural moisture from your skin, leaving it dry and chapped. Instead, take shorter showers of not more than 10 minutes and use cold or lukewarm water to keep the moisture in your skin intact.

Keep a face mist handy

A quick spritz of face mist on the go can help turn your dehydrated skin into fresh and glowing. It refreshes your tired and dull face and gives an instant dose of hydration. Keep a hydrating face mist close with you. You can easily make yourself a DIY face mist by using equal quantities of rose water, aloe vera gel and lime juice.

Trust skin-loving drinks

An effortless way to hydrate your skin is to hydrate yourself. While drinking 1 litre of water daily can be an incredibly hard task for some, you can simply take your hydration a notch higher by indulging in thirst-wrenching drinks like lemon water, fruit juices, coconut water, detox water and more.

Add a serum to your skincare regimen

To make sure your skin is hydrated from within and glowing as ever, treat your skin every night with a hydrating face serum. The active ingredients in it, such as hyaluronic acid help seal the moisture in your skin, improve the overall health of your skin and add a natural glow.
