These 5 Productive Ways  Will Help You Prevent Your Skin From Dehydration

 Dehydrated skin  is a lack of water, not oil on skin, which means sebaceous oil activity can still be normal or even overactive in dehydrated skin.   Dehydration is a condition that results when the body loses more water than it takes in. This imbalance disrupts the usual levels of salts and sugars present in the blood, which can interfere with the way the body functions.

USE BODY EXFOLIANT 

Take a quick look in the mirror, does your skin have an overall dull, tired appearance with flaky spots and dark circles under your eyes? Despite the fact that you may need a little extra shut-eye, these are all telltale signs of a dehydrated complexion. Exfoliation is a no-fail way to brighten your dull dehydrated complexion. Opt for a gentle and natural exfoliant like Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant that uses rice and chickpea flour to gently buff away flakes and dead skin. 

CHANGE BODY SOAP
Your bodywash or soap can be one of culprits of your dehydrated skin. Some commercial soap is harsh to the human skin. Hence, regarding ways on how to prevent your skin from dehydration, what you should go for is to choose something gentle like Dove or Caress. One of the best options is Dove, as it is made with good moisturizing cream inside. Also, do not make use of body washes which contain a lot of fragrance as they do not often offer you the benefits of moisturizing.

TAKE IN MORE WATER AND LOCKIN MOISTURE FROM THE OUTSIDE
 If your skin is dehydrated, it could be that you’re not getting enough water. Try to get more hydration by regularly drinking water, herbal teas and natural juices. Another way to get hydration is to eat fresh fruits and vegetables with the added benefit of getting antioxidants such as Vitamin C, beta-carotene or lycopene in your system.

EAT FRUITS AND VEGETABLES 
Produce is naturally high in water, fiber and vitamins. Nutritionists say fruits and vegetables should cover at least half of your plate at mealtime.

DONT USE HARSH ASTRINGENTS  
Because dry skin and dehydrated skin are two different things, you can have the situation where your skin is oily and dehydrated at the same time. If your skin feels oily on the surface, but dehydrated underneath, avoid using alcohol based astringents to combat the oiliness, because that will make the dehydration worse. Use a gentle toner instead and, over time, that will help to balance out your skin and reduce both the oiliness and the dehydration
