Maintaining Skin Hydration

Throughout all stages of life, it is essential to maintain a substantial level of hydration in the skin. When it comes to ageing and maintaining hydration there are several ways you can support your skin to remain healthy and strong.

INTERNAL

Keep your skin well hydrated from the inside by consuming enough water. Beyond flushing waste out of your body and helping your organs to function effectively, drinking water helps nourish your skin and improve elasticity.

People who drink large amounts of water are less likely to suffer from scars, wrinkles, and fine lines. As we age it is harder for your body to retain water so consuming more H2O helps to stay hydrated and refreshed.

Fuel your body with a well-balanced diet as you can also hydrate your body and your skin through nutrient
rich foods.

EXTERNAL

There are several products and treatments for your skin that can further assist in maintaining hydration. Skincare products such as moisturisers can act as a seal on the surface of your skin preventing water from escaping. Often, they help your skin feel less dry and smooth to touch. Other products absorb water from the atmosphere or your skin and hold it in place to retain hydration.

It is essential to consult with your healthcare professional before undertaking any cosmetic treatments to ensure the treatment is suitable and tailored to your individual needs.
