Dehydrated Skin

Dehydration means your skin is lacking moisture but not oil. Surface dehydration is a crippling enemy of the skin affecting up to 98% of the populations in varying degrees, & is associated with problems as diverse as scaly, taut skin, superficial lines & premature aging. In dehydrated skin becomes tight & irritated.

Home Treatment for Dehydrated Skin.

1. At least once a week treat yourself to a re-hydrating Cottage Industry clay face mask for dry skin.
2. For dehydrated, parched lips you can use glycerine & milk cream.
3. Smoking is very devitalising & dehydrating on your skin. Even if you don't smoke, environments such as night clubs & bars, can affect your skin. Always ask to be seated in the non-smoking section in restaurants, & don't allow smoking inside your house.
4. Mix 2 drops of lavender oil with baking soda & water until it becomes a paste. Put on face & leave on for 5 minutes. Rinse. Moisturize. This light, exfoliating mask makes skin more receptive to moisture.
5. Wash only with tepid water (hot water reason moisture evaporation), & look for moisture boosting ingredients like: Phospholipids, sorbitol, & panthenol etc.
6. Drink atleast 8 - 10 glass of water daily.
7. Boil ½ Cabbage in 3 cups of water for about 10 minutes (boiling). Strain & cool the water. Wash face with the cool cabbage water. It’s great for Nourishing the Skin. The nutrients from the cabbage nourish the skin.
