Dry skin is one of the most common causes of rapid skin aging. The lack of moisture in skin tissues and cells causes permanent damages. Don’t let this happen to you.

Sidestep skin aging with the help of the following skin-hydrating ideas:

1. Yogurt and orange mixture

Yogurt has natural hydrating properties. It works well in lubricating skin cells and tissues. It also has lactic acid that can slough off dead skin cells and rejuvenate the dermis. Orange contains essential fluid that can nourish the skin. It is also a good source of citric acid that can facilitate a renewal of skin tissues. It can also exfoliate dead skin cells.

Mix yogurt and orange juice. Apply it on your skin. Let it sit there for an hour before washing it off.

2. Aloe vera and avocado

These Ayurvedic remedies will surely provide the additional moisture that your integumentary system is seeking. Aloe vera has natural moisturizing properties. It can lock moisture in dermis tissues so you are less likely to experience dermis dryness in the afternoon.

Avocado also helps because of its Vitamin E content. It can lubricate tissues and cells. It also fights the bad effects of free radicals.

3. Brush your skin

Dead skin cells can accumulate in your pores. They are also responsible in blocking the pores and preventing moisturizing ingredients from penetrating deeper. Before taking a shower, use a soft-bristled to brush your skin first. Run the soft bristles on the surface of your skin using a circular motion. This can also help stimulate better circulation so that fluid can be distributed properly.

4. Use honey

It has humectant properties that can mimic the moisture-producing functions of the skin. It also helps lock moisture in dermis cells and tissues so you can have softer and smoother skin. Apply raw honey on your clean skin. This treatment also works in soothing rashes and irritation. It also an ideal treatment for people suffering from skin dryness caused by eczema and psoriasis.

Aside form these natural remedies, I highly recommend the use of natural moisturizers. They are equipped with natural ingredients that can correct damaged skin tissues and can support proper hydration. Look for the ingredients Phytessence Wakame, Manuka Honey and CynergyTK.

Phytessence Wakame is a kind of sea kelp found in Japan. It actually helps prevent the rapid loss of hyaluronic acid. This acid is needed to lubricate collagen fibers properly. Manuka honey is a more potent form of honey. It is loaded with more nutrients. CynergyTK is an ingredient that has been extracted from sheep wool. It can augment missing keratin. Keratin is needed for collagen production.
