How to hydrate your skin in autumn?

An important feature of autumn is the dry weather and drastic changes in climate. If you do not pay attention to skin care and maintenance at this time, your skin will easily become dry and cracked. The top priority of skin care in this season is hydration and moisturizing. Although many people know this, they just don’t know how to do it specifically. So, how do you hydrate your skin in autumn?

Drink plenty of water

The weather is dry in spring, the human body's metabolism speeds up, and water loss increases accordingly. In addition to choosing skin care products that suit you for external use, it is also very important to drink water for internal replenishment. But some people belong to the group that drinks water when they are thirsty, that is, they wait until they are thirsty before thinking of drinking water. In fact, this is not healthy. When the body's water balance is out of balance and cells are dehydrated, the central nervous system sends out a signal for water replenishment - that is, thirst. So waiting until you are thirsty to drink water is like irrigating the land after it has cracked, which is not good for your health.

Most people know that drinking 8 glasses of water a day is good for your health. In addition to adequate hydration, you should also pay attention to the way you drink water. Experts suggest that drinking water in small sips multiple times is the most nourishing. However, beverages such as fruit juice cannot replace water because they contain more sugar, and drinking too much can be harmful to the skin. In addition, drinking a glass of warm water in the morning can quickly replenish the body fluids lost overnight.

Choose the right skin care products

Whitening, anti-wrinkle, moisturizing, which one is the most important? Hydration, of course! Hydrating and moisturizing are the most basic steps in skin care and an important part of maintaining skin health. If your skin is dry and dull, no matter how white it is, it will not be beautiful, let alone anti-wrinkle. However, how should we choose hydrating and moisturizing products?

First of all, you should try to choose products with relatively simple ingredients and functions, because simple functions to a certain extent indicate that the ingredients are simple, and such skin care products are relatively safe. Second, don’t just choose water-based products, you need to consider both water and oil. Because in addition to hydrating, locking in moisture is equally important. Hydrating and moisturizing require two steps, and facial cream is also essential.

Wash your face with warm water

Washing your face is the first step in daily skin care, and proper water temperature is an important condition for skin cleansing. Experts believe that both too cold and too hot water are bad for the skin.

The appropriate water temperature should be around 34°C, slightly higher than skin temperature but lower than body temperature. Such warm water can not only cleanse the skin, but also has a calming effect on the skin, which is conducive to skin rest and eliminating fatigue, and has no harm to the skin. Alternating between warm and cold water is also a skin-beautifying facial washing method, which can dilate and contract the superficial blood vessels of the skin, enhance skin's breathing, and promote blood circulation in the face.

Now we understand how to hydrate the skin in autumn. It should be said that hydrating the skin in autumn is the focus of all skin care work. Each of us should pay attention to it. Only proper hydration can prevent the skin from becoming dry and cracked due to the dry weather, causing pain, or causing some skin diseases.
