Feature Friday- city break skin tips

Whether you live in the city or are going on a 'city break' for the weekend. Skincare is essential because all the additional elements can wreck havoc on your skin. 
Cities often contain additional pollution, harder water and a fast-paced lifestyle. Even if you're visiting the pace of life around you increases. These elemental changes can cause skin sensitivity, dehydration, and congestion. 

Deep Cleanse- To help combat the extra dirt, pollution, and oil secretions a deep cleanse is vital. Dermalogica recommends a double cleanse routine- the first cleanse gets rid of make-up, dirt, and sweat while the second cleanse actually cleans the skin. 

Hydration- dehydration occurs from lack of water in your body and in your skin. With busy lifestyles hydration often gets forgotten- both internally and externally. Remember to drink 2-3 litres of water a day to keep your body hydrated, and to increase this intake with caffeinated or alcoholic drinks and exercise. A hydrating spray, booster or serum can be added to your Skincare routine to help boost hydration levels- Hyaluronic Acid is a key ingredient in these items! 

Moisturiser- wearing apisturiser and the correct one for your skin type is vital in helping promote clear skin & protecting it from pollution and other free radicals. Get face mapped by your local Skincare professional to find out your skin type and use a daily moisturiser with an SPF 30 to protect against signs of ageing.
