Indoor heating and your skin

Because of the lower functioning of the skin's ability to hold moisture and to replenish it quickly enough, it's important to take a few extra steps to add added moisture internally and externally. 


1. Hydrate




Drinking more water throughout the day is your best step towards restoring the moisture balance of your overall body, including your skin. Most people struggle with remembering or even being motivated to drink more water.  Here is a helpful tip:  throw your favourite fruit in the mix and supplement more water in place of a dehydrating caffeine drink throughout the day. Also, warm up your water and drink with lemon, like tea.


2. Humidify




Humidifiers are a great addition to your home or office to bring moisture to the rooms atmosphere. Dermatologists often swear by the beneficial effects of humidifiers in dry air conditions. Besides creating extra moisture in the surrounding air, try adding an aromatic scent to the humidifier for a relaxing feel just a few drops of lavender oil or jasmine extract or any scent you gravitate towards. Investing in a humidifier that will take you through winter seasons is worth every penny.


3. Moisturize


When combating dryness, moisturizers that lock-in hydration in the skin are your go-tos for immediate relief and for sustained balance on the skins surface.  For these products to be uber-effective, they best include ingredients like Vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramides, and squalene to name just a few. 

Here is a list of our preferred, moisturizing products that will help offset winter dryness and restore the dewy moisture of balanced and well functioning skin.
