New year, but No Need for Dehydrated Skin

In my travels this past week, my skin is screaming for hydration. I typically am on top of my Skincare, so when it gets out of sorts, I always take a step back and re-evaluate. 
I always look at my diet first and foremost. It is not anything new that we haven’t already heard but water is key. Another way to increase hydration level is thru food.
Plant based food is the most efficient way of bringing water into our bodies. The top five raw fruits that contain at least 90% of their weight in water is, strawberries,watermelons, cantaloupes, grapefruits and apples.
The top five raw vegetables that contain at least 90% of water are celery, iceberg lettuce, green cabbage, egg plant, and spinach.
Our bodies need about 2 quarts of water a day. Eating your fruits and vegetables helps you consume your daily water and also as a bonus supplies your body with nutrients.
Now that you’ve hydrated internally, let’s talk externally. Dry skin calls for some layering of skincare. Finding a Skincare system is imperative.
Artistry essentials hydrating system is a great start if you are feeling a bit dry and anti aging is not a concern.
If you feel dry and anti aging is a concern, Artistry’s Time Defiance Creme system is for 
you. Keep in mind the lotion formula is for normal to oily and the creme is normal to dry.
In addition to basic skin care you will want to exfoliate first to get the dead skin off. You can use Artistry Polishing scrub followed up by the skin refinishing lotion. 
If you want to take it one step further and do a peel at home, you can use Artistry’s intensive renewal peel. This peel will help uncover fresh, luminous skin.
Once you complete your skin care regimen and if you still feel dry and tight, you can pat a little Moisture Plus over top of your moisturizer. This product will help add moisture, by the way of omegas and botanicals. You can also use a second moisturizer that is more emollient. Artistry’s products are made to work with each other to complement your skin.
Being aware of your skin care needs inside and out will not only make you feel great, your skin will look like fabulous.
