Tip #3: Dry Skinnnn...

Mix a thick moisturiser in your BB cream! I have such dry skin, no matter how many layers of moisturiser I put on, it's still a losing battle. For the past 2 months though, I've been mixing my Avene Rich Skin Recovery Cream with my Skin79 BB Cream (the hot pink one!) plussss my Olay Complete Touch of Foundation (Medium) as my base. Of course applying a layer of moisturiser prior to application!

What was a flaky and hyperpigmented face from leftover spots had been transformed into a more glowy, more even face. Mind you, my inflamed blemishes still peep through, but apart from that, my skin is plumped and has a dewiness to it! What the...?! How did thaat happen? :D

Then again, the root of my dry skin probably comes from within, so skincare only has so much it can do to improve my skin's appearance and feel. H2O, drink it!!! I always manage to leave my electric blanket on during the night on full power! I wake up to find my skin scaly and my mouth so dry that it sticks together, what on earth? No wonder my skin is dehydrated. So double tip, use facial products with hyaluronic acid, it will increase the level of moisture in the skin and help the skin to trap that moisture in. Of course, as mentioned before, not only will skincare help, but drink plenty of water.

Water is probably good for most things for the health of our body, but for our skin it really shows... Time to flood out those toxins...
