Keeping your skin hydrated throughout the summer months is crucial
if you want to keep the wrinkles at bay and retain a youthful glow by
preserving your skin collagen levels. This time of the year we are more exposed
than ever to harsh sunlight, longer working hours, pollinated air and boozy
afternoons at our local pub, all of which causing havoc to our skin and in turn
making it look significantly duller. There are many things you can do to look after your skin in
this drying weather, most of which won’t break the bank or require any more
effort than usual.
The power of Hyaluronic Acid
Originally used as a lip filler ingredient, Hyaluronic Acid
has quickly become a vital element of every beauty expert’s skincare routine. Having
previously had the reputation of being an unattainable ingredient with a significant
price-tag attached, it can now be found practically anywhere, including high
street drugstores. Hyaluronic acid, in short is an easy to use hydrating
solution you can apply any time of day, aiming to hydrate and re-plump the skin
leaving it looking and feeling fresh and
dewy.
Top up your H2o Levels
It’s no secret that drinking 8 glasses of water a day is the
simplest and cheapest way to keep your skin hydrated and looking fresh, however
managing to drink this much can prove difficult when you lead such a busy life.
Try keeping a reusable water bottle by your desk so you remember to top up each
day.
Hydrating Sheet masks
Sheet masks have only really become a bit of a phenomenon in
the UK over the past year or so, originating from the Korean beauty industry,
women are now swapping their much loved clay masks in favor of these easy to
use, no mess masks. There are countless hydrating sheet masks available on the
market at varying price tags all promoting similar benefits for the skin, and
with hyaluronic acid acting as the key ingredient, this allows your skin to
enjoy a super-hydrating facial leaving your complexion plump and fresh.

to top up their skin hydration levels on the go. A quick spritz all over the
face and neck instantly gives you a glowing complexion, eliminates that tight
feeling and allows your skin to breathe. These can be found most places, from
high end brands to drugstore.

acids that re-hydrate dry, sun damaged skin and help to improve the appearance
of wrinkles, scars, burns and stretch marks. Used regularly, it can completely
change the look and feel of your skin, rejuvenating and kick-starting those skin
cells.
