Summer is the time for sunshine, beach days, and enjoying the warm weather. But with the increase in sun exposure and humidity, our skin can take a hit. That's why proper hydration is key to maintaining healthy, glowing skin all summer long.
Why Hydration is Crucial:
-
Fights Dryness: Summer heat and sun can dehydrate the skin, leading to dryness, dullness, and premature ageing.
-
Boosts Radiance: Hydrated skin looks plump and glowing.
-
Strengthens Skin Barrier: A well-hydrated skin barrier protects against environmental damage such as pollution and UV damage.
-
Reduces Signs of Ageing: Hydration helps plump fine lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a more youthful appearance.
Hydration Tips for Summer:
-
Drink Plenty of Water: This is the most obvious, but often overlooked! Aim for 8 glasses of water per day, and more if you're active or spending time in the sun.
-
Use a Hydrating Cleanser: Avoid harsh cleansers that strip the skin of its natural oils. Try a gentle, hydrating cleanser like Dr Mayson’s Daily Gentle Cleansing Gel that will leave your skin feeling refreshed and hydrated.
-
Consider a Hydrating Serum: Serums are packed with powerful ingredients that can deeply penetrate the skin. Choose from either of Dr Mayson’s two powerful hydrating serums:
Triple-B Hydra Serum with Niacinamide
Active-C Strengthening Serum
-
Apply a Lightweight Moisturiser: Look for a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser such as Dr Mayson’s Lightweight Hydrating Moisturiser that contains hyaluronic acid, an ingredient that can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water.
-
Don't Forget Sunscreen: Use Dr Mayson’s 7/AM Hydrating Facial SPF50+ Sunscreen that provides up to 4 hours of chemical shield protection against both UVA and UVB.
-
Mist Throughout the Day: Keep a hydrating facial mist in your bag and spritz it on throughout the day to refresh and rehydrate your skin.
-
Eat Hydrating Foods: Include plenty of water-rich fruits and vegetables in your diet, such as watermelon, cucumber, and strawberries.
