Dry skin is frustrating and uncomfortable, an can be caused by a variety of factors including environmental influences, an inadequate skincare routine and ageing. Luckily, Heaven Skincare offers a range of exceptional essentials to help you achieve a hydrated and healthy complexion.
What Is Dry Skin?
Our skin feels dry when the natural oils and water in our epidermis diminish, leading to flakiness, uneven tone and noticeable fine lines. Many of us suffer dryness as we get older - especially as we head of menopause - because ageing skin struggles to maintain hydration. You may scratch you face a lot, so ditch products with harsh chemical ingredients that only cause further irritation. Instead chose organic skincare that rebalances, hydrates and heals.
You may also find that your daily moisturiser alone doesn't help, so layer your products to ensure your skin is protected. Serums, for example, penetrate deeper to help rebalance your natural oils. Combine one with a rich moisturiser to detoxify and replenish.
Top Tip For Dry Skin:
Tea and coffee won’t offer relief because they are both diuretic. Tea contains tannins, once used to dry meat, while coffee stimulates the kidneys. Water, and plenty of it, is your best friend! Steer clear of salty and sugary treats and alcohol, too. Go for hydration-boosting foods - like watermelon, strawberries, peaches, oranges, cucumber - that contain up to 95% water.
