Why this worksAs temperatures rise, skin can lose moisture more easily. A proper hydrating routine helps to replenish that lost moisture, keeping your skin soft and elastic. The right products and techniques can create a barrier that locks in hydration, preventing dryness and maintaining a healthy glow.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Start with a Gentle Cleanser Use a hydrating body wash to cleanse your skin without stripping away natural oils. Look for products that contain nourishing ingredients like aloe vera or coconut oil for added moisture.
  2. Exfoliate Regularly Incorporate a gentle exfoliator into your routine 1-2 times a week to slough off dead skin cells. This helps improve absorption of moisturisers and keeps your skin looking fresh.
  3. Apply a Rich Moisturiser After showering, apply a hydrating body lotion or cream while your skin is still damp. This locks in moisture and creates a protective barrier to keep your skin hydrated throughout the day.
  4. Use a Body Oil for Extra Hydration For an added boost, layer a nourishing body oil on top of your moisturiser. Oils can help seal in hydration and provide a lovely sheen to the skin, perfect for that spring glow.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip moisturising after showering, which can lead to dryness. Others might over-exfoliate, causing irritation instead of smooth skin. Not using products suited for their skin type can also hinder hydration efforts.

The pro moveTry using a humidifier in your home to combat dryness in the air during spring.
