Every part of you has cells, all of wich need to sustain an 80% water level in order to function effectively and efficiently.

 If you missed Part 1, 2, 3 or 4 or all find links below. Please feel free to try the advice given in this series for 3 weeks and come back and give us your thoughts, we'd love to hear from you.

Hydration!
Healthy skin is within reach! Feed your skin water, skin problems will go away more easily. When skin is hydrated, its defense system will be boosted naturally.
Everyone loves smooth and supple skin. Skin's ability to retain water diminishes as we age. Many of us do not fully understand how to properly hydrate our skin. Regardless of how expensive your moisturizer is, if you've missed some of the small yet crucial steps, all your effort and money could go down the drain.

4 steps to keep your skin and body hydrated
Step 1:
Do not let your cleanser stay on your face too long.
Step 3:
Use sheet masks strategically.
It is important to find a fine balance in cleansing. Don't lather your face too long. 30-60 seconds is all you need to clean your face. Leaving the cleanser on skin too long will dry up your face.

Use lukewarm water when washing your face. Scalping hot water might feel good during winter, but will deplete your skin's natural moisture.

Always put on your hydrating care immediately after face wash, preferably within 10 minutes. This 10 minutes is your golden period when your pores are open to take in moisture and nutrients.

Step 2:
Find a Perfect Balance.
Using ingredients known to retain water such as Hyaluronic Acid or Ceramide to keep your skin hydrated at all time. Be in touch with your skin. If your skin feels uncomfortably tight 30 minutes after face wash and starts to emit sebum, then your face is too dry. A well balanced skin should feel comfortable and naturally luminous.
When you use sheet mask, the face is in direct contact with the mask and the serum. This vacuum environment increases surface temperature and opens up pores to take in nutrients and moisture. After 20 minutes, your face will be soft and supple. Use sheet masks 2-3 times a week or strategically before any important events to restore the perfect balance back to your skin.

Step 4:
Stay hydrated in air-conditioning or heated room.
Keep the temperature around 77°F (25°C) to avoid over-drying your skin.

Use humidifier. If one is not available, leave a glass of water to increase the humidity of the room. Drink plenty of water to increase the moisture level in your body.

Using hydrating mist as much as necessary. Wait for 10-15 seconds after spraying. Use tissue paper to wipe away excess water to avoid the moisture in epidermis from vaporizing along with the excess water.

N.B.
Avoid using hydrating mist that contains alcohol! That will only make your face drier! Essential oil waters, rose or lavender water are excellent for face, body and hair misting throughout the day!
