Why this worksHydration is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and preventing dryness. When the heat hits, the skin can lose moisture more quickly, making it important to replenish and lock in hydration. Using the right products and techniques can help keep your skin feeling soft and supple all season long.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Start with a Gentle Cleanser Use a mild, hydrating body wash to cleanse your skin without stripping its natural moisture. Look for ingredients like glycerin or aloe vera to help maintain hydration.
  2. Exfoliate Regularly Incorporate a gentle scrub or exfoliating mitt into your routine a couple of times a week. This helps remove dead skin cells, allowing your moisturiser to penetrate better and keep your skin looking fresh.
  3. Apply Moisturiser Immediately After showering, apply a hydrating body lotion or cream while your skin is still damp. This helps trap moisture in and keeps your skin feeling soft longer.
  4. Use a Hydrating Mist Keep a hydrating body mist handy to refresh your skin throughout the day. Look for mists with calming ingredients like rose water or cucumber to soothe and hydrate.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip exfoliating, thinking it's unnecessary, which can lead to dull skin. Others apply moisturiser on dry skin, missing out on the benefits of locking in moisture. Not using enough product can also leave skin feeling parched.

The pro moveConsider using a body oil as part of your moisturising step for an extra boost of hydration.
