Keeping skin hydrated during the summer months

With warmer days skin can become dry and irritated from the heat and humidity. You can help skin stay moisturised from the inside out with two key products; hyaluronic acid and electrolytes.
 
Hyaluronic Acid is produced by the body and the largest amounts are found in your skin, connective tissue and eyes. By binding to water, it helps to retain moisture, therefore keeping the skin, connective tissues and joints lubricated. You can support your levels of HA with a supplement such as Terranova’s Hyaluronic Acid & Silica.

Electrolytes are mineral salts which are present in the body’s blood fluid and tissue. Viridian’s electrolytes include four mineral salts magnesium, potassium, sodium and chloride. These are involved in balancing the fluid throughout the body including the volume of fluid within the blood. Viridian’s Electrolyte Fix is available in two sizes, 100ml and 200ml. You can view it here on our website.

Drinking raw coconut water provides the key electrolytes too, you can find the delicious Rebel Kitchen Raw Coconut Water in our chiller. It can be enjoyed as is, or added to other drinks.
 
And finally, use light, easily absorbed topical products such as aloe vera gel to cool and soothe. If your skin feels stressed by the heat, Skin:Genius Oil Day Long will nourish the skin, easing any irritation and uncomfortable dryness.
