The importance of keeping your skin hydrated this winter

It is proven that drinking water is very important for a healthy body and skin, however, it cannot beat moisturising, as that is one of the most vital parts of a skincare routine.

Experts have revealed that moisturising goes beyond just feeling and smelling amazing, but it also helps keep your skin clear, smooth and wrinkle-free.

One of the million reasons why should implement moisturising in your skincare routine is that it helps your skin maintain its balance, because if it is too dry or too oily, many common skin problems, like acne, start to pop up.

Having a freshly moisturised skin gives a healthy polish, and that can also even out any existing blemishes. It helps the skin stay young, especially the most sensitive areas of your skin – the face, ears, neck, and chest.

On a daily basis, we lose some skin cells, which leaves the skin vulnerable to dryness. Making sure your skin is moisturised then helps give sensitive skin the boost it needs to repair itself and remain healthy.

If you are a person who also likes make-up, having a moisturiser gives you a smoother base to work on when putting on your best face beat. It doesn’t matter whether you do it frequently or occasionally, moisturising your skin before applying make-up will always be beneficial as it helps the make-up sit better for longer.

If you apply make-up over dry, dehydrated skin, that can cause the products to peel or crease in the areas you are trying to hide.

Most importantly in winter, a moisturiser is also able to act as a barrier between your skin and harsh weather conditions, protecting it from dry wind and direct sun rays.

You have to always make sure that you pick a moisturiser best suitable for your skin type. For instance, if you have dry skin, go for something rich in essential oils to make sure your skin stays moisturised for longer.

For someone with oily skin, a moisturiser with lightweight oils is always a better option.

Remember, a proper skincare regime doesn’t end with just a moisturiser. You must apply sunscreen all year long to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
