Hydration starts from within. Drink at least 8–10 glasses of water daily and incorporate cooling drinks like coconut water, lemon water, chaas, or aam panna.
For best results, apply moisturizer on damp skin right after cleansing to lock in hydration.
Consider professional treatments like skin boosters—injectable hyaluronic acid that deeply hydrates the skin. Also try Hydrafacial-based medifacials, which cleanse, exfoliate, and infuse moisture using vortex technology. Ideal for instantly refreshed and glowing summer skin.
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and reapply every 2–3 hours when outdoors.
Keep one in your bag and spritz whenever your skin feels dry or tight.
Washing your face too often can strip away natural oils and dehydrate the skin.
For parched skin, apply a hydrating serum with ingredients like niacinamide, panthenol, or hyaluronic acid after cleansing and before moisturizing. These strengthen the skin barrier and enhance moisture retention.
Running a humidifier while you sleep can help maintain skin hydration and keep your complexion soft and dewy.
