The latest skin hydrating trends

The latest buzz when it comes to drinks? Coconut water! This is a completely natural drink extracted from unripe, green coconuts. Coconut water is great for hydrating our bodies, especially after a work out, as it contains five electrolytes that we need to regulate our body temperature. Plus it's tastier than water!  

Does your face itch, feel stretched or have a tendency to redden? If so, your skin is parched. Faced with wind, wet autumn weather or temperature fluctuations between the cold outdoors and centrally heated offices, our skin needs to be deeply hydrated. The latest hydrating trend? A face mask! Nourishing and moisturising, masks help our skin's protective barrier to regenerate. You can leave a mask on for a few minutes, or, depending on the formula, go the whole hog and let it work overnight.  

'Liquid care' or cosmetic water has started to hit the shelves. This new generation of treatments come in the form of mists, gels and creams. Their textures are creamy, light, sensual and designed to transform into water: for example, gels that turn into water on contact with skin. This means our skin can fully benefit from both the water content and the powerful, moisturising active ingredients that they contain. These ultra-light, fondant treatments are taking beauty routines by storm!  

If you want to nourish and moisturise your skin in one clean sweep, then it's time to invest in a dry oil. Traditionally used for massages, dry oils have now become a beauty essential.
Why? Because their non-greasy texture immediately penetrates and nourishes skin, whilst leaving a lovely, lingering fragrance. Suited to all skin types, dry oils are particularly good for parched, dry skin. They leave skin supple, soft and velvety to the touch. And if you want to further boost your healthy glow, you can always opt for a satin body oil!
