A day rewound used to carry a bottle of water, which can be periodically replenished reviver. If most of the day you spend at your desk, put next to the computer a carafe of water or a liter bottle. This will allow you to develop the habit of drinking water regularly.

Eat foods, which moisturize and protect your skin

Include in your diet white yogurt (not to be confused with sweet yogurt!), olive oil, olives, avocados, almonds, cabbage, red, orange and bright yellow fruits and vegetables, which contain many carotenoids, beneficial for the skin.

In the summer you need to enjoy the most of seasonal berries, especially blueberries and raspberries rich in anthocyanins, which protect the skin from UV rays.
It is also recommended to include in the diet some fish species such as salmon, sardines and trout. Very useful for moisturizing of the skin are foods rich in vitamin E such as nuts, sprouted wheat, oats, rye and oats, soy, herbs, corn and peas.

Provide skin moisturizing care

In the summer season thoroughly clean your skin morning and evening, then apply a light moisturizer that quickly saturates the skin, but does not clog pores.
As we have noted, over-drying oily skin may lead to an increase in its fat content due to decompensation, so moisture in the summer and it is important for this skin type.
In the summer there should be excluded from the use any tonics containing alcohol, as they contribute to overdrying skin.

If you are using thermal water in the form of sprays, after spraying it on the face, remove excess tissue remaining on the surface of the skin – otherwise the evaporation of water will dry the skin even more than it was prior to the application!

In addition to daily moisturizing care, to rehidrate your skin you can take a short and effective course of injectable procedures, such as biorevitalisation, which allows for 3-4 sessions to significantly update and moisturize the skin, refreshing its structure and color, smoothing out first wrinkles and shrink pores.
