Wondering what the best options are to keep your skin hydrated this season? Here’s a great regimen to keep your skin looking its best this winter.
Take care your skin from the inside out. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids limit water loss in skin cells. You can find omega-3’s in many foods including avocados, salmon, walnuts, almonds, kale, spinach and flax seed. Limit junk food. Foods with refined sugar are high in trans fatty acids and can make you look and feel sluggish. Of course, we all deserve a treat now and again. However, minimizing high sugar foods and treating yourself to some fresh fruits and vegetables is a great way to start.
Add some topical hydration when needed. Rhonda Allison has a wonderful product, Infuse 7, that is loaded with omega-6 essential fatty acids and several natural oils. In addition to an essential oil complex, Infuse 7 contains avocado oil, macadamia nut oil, and grape seed oil. Another highly recommended topical treatment is Obagi’s Hydraluxe. Hydromanil, harvested from the tara seed, is a technologically advanced ingredient and a key component of Hydraluxe. Hydromanil helps to retain water in the skin then releases slowly over 8 hours, providing long lasting hydration.
Lastly, be sure to stay hydrated this winter. Hydration is a key component to looking and feeling your best throughout the year.
