7 Ways to Increase Skin Moisture Naturally

One of the most common skin complaints is dryness and dehydration. So, it is always good to know some handy tips to increase the moisture of your skin naturally. At Nakin we are dedicated to producing amazing age defying natural skincare products and helping skin to look as good as it can naturally is always a priority for us. Our products are packed with topical hydration from the natural and plant ingredients. Read on to see our easy natural tips for hydrated skin.

1. Stay Hydrated

Drinking enough water or healthy hydrating drinks like herbal tea help to keep our systems beautifully hydrated internally, and functioning as best possible. It depends on the weather, but try to have about 5 to 8 cups of water a day. If you find this hard then include lots of hydrating fruits and vegetables, like watermelon and cucumber.

2. Cleanse Skin Properly

When skin is properly cleansed it is free from debris and dead skin cells, which can be drying to skin. Good cleansing is important but it needs to be with a kind and hydrating cleansing product like our Natural Advanced Cleansing Milk followed by the Natural Purifying Face Toner. They both clean skin beautifully with cleansing plant extracts, while being kind, hydrating and comforting.

3. Use A Face Oil

Using a good face oil can be one of the best additions to any face care regime. They are so beneficial as they provide skin with hydration in the deeper levels of skin. They work with our natural skin sebum to hydrate and balance skin. Nakin’s natural face oil is a stunning oil that nourishes and comforts skin beautifully.

4. Moisturise Skin Well

One of the key properties of a face cream is to moisturise skin properly. Nakin’s face creams offer deep and long-lasting hydration without greasiness. We have the Natural Matt Formula Face Cream for oily, normal and combination skin, and Natural Active Dew Face Cream for dry, normal and combination skin. Both are filled with an array of amazing plant actives that intensely boost and hydrate.

5. Be Careful Not to Strip Skin

Keeping skin moisture levels up is also about what not do to. So, take care not to strip skin by applying any harsh skin products. This includes some face washes that can strip skin, and strong exfoliators that can dry skin and throw it off balance. If you prefer a foam cleanser then use one that is kind to skin like our Rejuvenating Facial Wash.

6. Keep A Bowl of Water in Your Bedroom

This tip is especially beneficial if you live in dry conditions. This might include living in a cold environment and using central heating systems that dry skin. You could also use a humidifier, but a simple affordable option is a bowl of water.

7. Use Sunscreen

The sun can be very drying to the skin. This is because moisture evaporates in the heat, which affects our natural skin oils. So, always use a sunscreen when it is exposed to the sun.

To naturally increase the moisture in our skin, it's essential to focus on hydration and nourishment from both the inside and outside. Drinking enough water throughout the day helps maintain the skin's elasticity and suppleness. We should also have included in our list about incorporating foods high in water content, such as cucumbers, oranges, and watermelons, along with omega-3 rich foods like walnuts, flaxseeds, and fatty fish, can significantly improve skin hydration. Externally, using gentle, good natural moisturisers like ours that will help lock in moisture without harsh chemicals. Additionally, ensuring you're using a gentle cleanser that won’t strip your skin of its natural oils and applying a hydrating oil before moisturising can boost your skin's hydration levels. Lastly, reducing the duration and temperature of showers can prevent the skin from becoming too dry.
