Skin hydration is very important,
especially for people with dry skin. Drinking lots of water is one way
of keeping skin hydrated. Water also helps brings nutrients to the
skin. It is important to avoid dehydrating drinks, like cola, coffee and
alcohol. Cold weather and hot water can dry out skin, so these should
be avoided as much as possible. People with dry skin should always wear
a sunscreen, even during winter.
SLEEP AND SKIN REJUVENATION
Getting
a good night's sleep is important for healthy skin care. As people
sleep, skin rejuvenation takes place and the cells undergo a process of
repair.
This is important because this is the time when the skin is restored
and recovers from any harm it has suffered during the day. To help skin
stay healthy, you should ensure you get at least seven (preferably
eight) hours of sleep a night. Make-up can interfere with the skin's
rejuvenation process, so all make-up should be removed before going to
bed.
