The summer heat can really take a toll on our skin…blackheads, sun spots and flakiness are common issues. Today, let’s
Don't let the summer heat dehydrate your skin!
address the issue of flakey summer skin. It seems confusing that, with all the sweating we do in summer, our skin would look dry. But it actually isn’t “dry” (lacking oil)…it is “dehydrated” (lacking WATER).
Here’s a few tips to beat flakey skin:
- Take your body weight, divide it by 2, then divide that number by 8. That’s how many 8 oz. glasses of water you should be drinking daily.
ie: If you weigh 125 lbs: 125 ÷ 2 = 62.5 ÷8 = 7.8. So…you should be drinking close to 8 glasses of water daily. - Use a product with Hyaluronic Acid. This amazing ingredient holds up to 1,000 times its weigh in water (which basically means it’s SUPER hydrating). Our skin contains Hyaluronic Acid in the dermal layer, so the skin readily accepts this ingredient since it is recognizable. Our favorite is Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Booster.
- Splash your face with water (or spritz with toner) before applying moisturizer. Your skin will accept the cream better.
