Dry skin is an issue many of us have faced at one point or another. It can affect people of all ages and is often flakey and uncomfortable, which leads most of us to want to avoid it at all costs. Thankfully, there are many ways to combat and prevent dry skin to keep it healthy and hydrated all year long!
- Hydrate from the inside out: Drinking plenty of water is key to keeping your skin hydrated. Aim for at least eight glasses of water daily to ensure that your skin gets the hydration it needs. A fun reusable cup or insulated water bottle makes this so much easier when on the go!
- Use a gentle, natural cleanser: Choose a gentle cleanser to wash your face. Avoid using soap, which can be drying, and opt for a moisturising cleanser instead. Hark & Zander's HempPurify Emulsifying Oil Cleanser is fabulous for this, thanks to its nourishing oil-based formula.
- Moisturise daily: Moisturising your face and body is essential for combating dry skin. For your body, we recommend the Hark & Zander HempLavish Nourishing Body Oil which is perfect for right after the shower. For your face, the H&Z Brighten & Restore Duo will cover your bases all day long with both a day and night crème. Their natural, nourishing ingredients will keep you hydrated without any nasties.
- Adjust your home humidity: If you live in a dry climate or use air-conditioning, your skin can quickly dehydrate. Using a humidifier in your home can help to add moisture to the air, keeping your skin hydrated.
- Protect your skin from the sun: UV rays can damage your skin and contribute to dryness. Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, and consider wearing protective clothing, such as a hat and sunglasses, when you're outside.
- Avoid harsh products: Avoid using harsh products, such as alcohol-based toners, astringents, and exfoliating scrubs, as these can dry the skin. Instead, opt for gentle, nourishing products that hydrate and protect your skin. Hark & Zander uses natural or bio-identical ingredients to ensure that your skin receives the best care possible.
