SUMMER DRY SKIN TIPS from Cara Linda

We’re about half way through the summer and some of you may be noticing more dry/dehydrated skin.  Everyone, regardless of how oily or dry their skin is, needs effective moisturizing products to maintain healthy skin function.  The first step to effective skin hydration is using humectant agents in your daily care products.  Hyaluronic acid has been praised for many reasons, one of which is its potent water-retaining powers, with experts saying it’s able to hold 1,000 times its weight in water.  Because the powerful humectant hydrates by drawing in moisture from the environment and locking it into the skin it is a great product to use on all skin types. 

Drenching your skin with products that contain Hyaluronic Acid provides more that just moisture – it may be the key to perpetually youthful skin! Hyauronic Acids’ hydrating nature also makes it an important anti-aging ingredient and has been named as the “key to youth”.  As we age, the body’s natural storage of hyaluronan is depleted, which is one of the reasons skin can look visibly parched and crepey during its later years.

So, drink plenty of water and use your humectant products to keep well hydrated this summer as well as throughout the rest of the year.

To your skin health,
Linda
