6 Expert Tips for Hydrating Dry Skin

Air pollution carries harmful microscopic particles, gases, chemicals in it. It is not only bad for breathing but also has an impact on skin health. One of the effects of air pollution on skin health is that it makes the skin drier. This condition can cause discomfort, irritation, and even more serious skin problems if not managed properly. Here are 6 tips from experts for taking care of dry skin and keeping it moisturized.

1. Avoid washing your face with water that is too hot

The higher the temperature of the water you use will strip the natural oils from your skin and make it drier. It is best to wash your face with cold or lukewarm water.

2. Consider using a humidifier

A humidifier is a device that can increase the humidity in the air around you. This can be especially beneficial if you live in an area with dry air.

3. Drink enough water

Dry skin care does not only come from the outside, but also from within. Make sure you drink enough water every day to keep your body hydrated. Well-hydrated skin will be better able to retain moisture.

4. Choose gentle cleaning products

The first step in treating dry skin is to choose a cleansing product that is gentle and free of harsh chemicals. Our recommendation: Hydra Botanic Whipping Cream Foaming Cleanser is a gentle foaming facial cleanser that effectively draws out impurities without disturbing the skin's water balance. Equipped with Alteromonas Ferment Extract which protects facial skin from external factors that can damage the skin. Enriched with Six Moisture-Rich Formula Combination from natural plants that can moisturize the skin.

5. Moisturize your skin

Use a moisturizer after showering or washing your face to keep your skin moisturised.

Follow with Hydra Botanic Total Hydrating Emulsion to moisturize, soothe, and nourish skin.

6. Night care

While sleeping, the skin can also lose moisture. Especially if you sleep with the air conditioning on. Therefore, don't miss your skin care ritual before going to bed. Use Hydra Botanic Total Hydrating Cream before going to bed, after cleansing your face.
