DR NEVIANNA BODET’S DOS AND DON’TS FOR GLOWY WINTER SKIN
1. DO INVEST IN A HUMIDIFYER
Use a humidifier in your home to add moisture to the air, which can help prevent your skin from drying out
2. DO DRINK MORE WATER
3. DON’T TAKE HOT SHOWERS, TAKE WARM SHOWERS INSTEAD
Take shorter, warm showers instead of hot ones, as hot water can dehydrate your skin. If you want to improve the circulation in your skin, finish off with a cold blast of water - this can help reduce pores and tighten skin.
4. DON’T DRINK COLD WATER
Stay hydrated from the inside by drinking room temperature water throughout the day to hydrate your skin. Why? Because lukewarm water is the gentlest on the skin.
