This is because skin, being the biggest organ of the body, is mostly made up of water. Did you know that losing just two percent of our body’s water volume in a day can lead to mild dehydration?

On top of this, declining hormones; smoking; drinking alcohol; staying out in rough weather conditions and aggressively cleansing can also make your skin lose its elasticity, feel dry and look dull.

So keeping your skin hydrated is really important!

Here are some top tips on how you can keep your skin hydrated with ease.

1) Eat water-rich foods

[/fusion_text][fusion_text]

Foods that are mostly made up of water are just as hydrating for our bodies and skin as drinking water. So, throughout the day, fill up on water-dense fruits and veggies like watermelons; berries; plums; peaches; cucumbers; celery; bell peppers and lettuce to keep your water levels up.

2) Double up on products

[/fusion_text][fusion_text]

When your skin is feeling dry and itchy, use a hydrating mask on top of your moisturizer serum to create a barrier that prevents the beneficial moisture from escaping. Instead, the moisture will penetrate deeper into your skin.

That’s the reason why you get a lot of fine lines, uneven skin tone and dryness there. To prevent this from happening, use a hydrating eye cream daily to lock in moisture.[/fusion_text][/one_half][separator style_type=”single” top_margin=”75″ bottom_margin=”75″ sep_color=”#000000″ border_size=”” icon=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”center” class=”” id=””][separator style_type=”single” top_margin=”75″ bottom_margin=”75″ sep_color=”#000000″ border_size=”” icon=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”center” class=”” id=””][fullwidth background_color=”” background_image=”” background_parallax=”none” enable_mobile=”no” parallax_speed=”0.3″ background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” video_url=”” video_aspect_ratio=”16:9″ video_webm=”” video_mp4=”” video_ogv=”” video_preview_image=”” overlay_color=”” overlay_opacity=”0.5″ video_mute=”yes” video_loop=”yes” fade=”no” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding_top=”20″ padding_bottom=”20″ padding_left=”” padding_right=”” hundred_percent=”no” equal_height_columns=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” menu_anchor=”” class=”” id=””][fusion_text]Like our tips?
