How to Rehydrate Your Skin

How to Rehydrate Your Skin

By Staff Account Posted on

Do you ever feel trapped in your skin? Dry, dull, and unhealthy feeling skin can be a huge hit to self-esteem, with many people struggling to find a solution. These skin problems can be caused by numerous issues, but oftentimes it’s a much simpler cause than we think—dehydration.

Dehydrated skin is incredibly common and easily occurs. But just as easily as it can happen, you can rehydrate your skin the same.

Signs of Dehydration

You will likely notice if your skin is dehydrated, but here are some telltale signs:

  • Itchiness
  • Dullness
  • Dark eye circles
  • More noticeable fine lines
  • Dryness 

If you struggle with any of these signs, there are a few easy steps you can take to bring your skin back to life.

Use a Gentle Cleanser

One reason your skin might be struggling is because of a harsh cleanser. A lot of cleansers strip your skin of its natural oils that keep it protected and hydrated. Instead, opt for a gentle cleanser that protects the top barrier of your skin while also working effectively to remove makeup and other particles. 

If you have a dry skin type, you can even opt-out of washing your face in the morning and just simply rinse it with water before applying lotion. However, never skip your nighttime face washing—this is when you rinse off debris, particles, and other residues that sat on your face all day. It’s best to go to bed with a clean face!

Apply Products on Damp Skin

It’s best to apply moisturizer and other products when your skin is still damp and warm after a shower or a simple face washing. After you cleanse, carefully pat your skin dry to leave it a little damp, and then apply your moisturizer to lock in moisture.

Avoid Hot Showers

While they may feel great, piping hot showers can take a toll on your skin, drying it out instead of hydrating it. This is because hot water can strip skin of its natural oils, leaving it vulnerable to the elements. It also evaporates much faster than cooler water, giving you much less time to apply lotion and lock in the moisture after your shower.

Hydrate

In order to hydrate your skin, you need to hydrate yourself too! Make sure to drink plenty of water to keep your cells fully hydrated. Consistently drinking your recommended amount of water daily can improve the appearance of your skin and overall make you feel great! 

Eat a Balanced Diet

A balanced diet is key to keeping your organs healthy—and your skin is no exception! As the largest organ in your body, your skin needs adequate nutrients and vitamins to thrive. Eating food filled with plenty of antioxidants, healthy fats, and water can transform your complexion. Some great foods to eat to improve dry skin are:

  • Cucumber
  • Avocado
  • Basil
  • Squash
  • Salmon
  • Broccoli

Use a Natural Moisturizer

Are you hydrating daily but still seeing no change in your dry skin? It may be because your moisturizer contains synthetic ingredients. On the other hand, a natural, fragrance-free moisturizer can work wonders on dry, dehydrated skin. Mother Nature offers a wide variety of ingredients packed with hydrating nutrients.
