 You'll realize due to the type of season that we are in, your skin tends to feel dry hence you have to keep on moisturizing it from time to time. I want to share with you some of the tips that you can use to make sure your skin looks hydrated no matter the condition of the weather.

Use of aloe vera. This product has proven to be of so much use in different ways. Application of aloe vera gel on our skin and covering it with gloves and/socks for overnight can be quite a sure remedy.

Application of petroleum jelly. All jellies have an effect especially on our skin because of their soft nature. Make sure that you use a jelly after bath so that you moisturize your skin.

Coconut oil - This has been used since time and it's uses haven't been yet exhausted. This oil contains fatty acids that act as moisturizers and significantly improve skin hydration.

Avoid allergens and skin irritants. Stay away from products that have had a side effect on your skin. Not every product you see out here is safe for your skin. What's safe for someone else, is not always safe for you. Know your skin type and do a thorough research on the products that suit your skin type.

Get enough sleep. Sleep rejuvenates skin in an immense way. Make sure that you get enough rest. Sleep is very essential in maintaining our health and also our skin.

Try an avocado face mask. Try mixing avocado with honey to make a thick smooth paste. Apply it on the dry skin and let it sink for 15 minutes. There after wash it with warm water and pat dry for best results. This is for once or twice a week depending on the magnitude of dryness.

We've got to glow no matter the weather. Try out these results and achieve the skin that lets you shine and glow. Stay Healthy, always.
