Daily dehydrators put skin in harm’s way

TOBACCO & POLLUTION
Both congest pores and damage the skin’s natural protective barrier.
ALCOHOL
Dehydrates skin, leading to redness, inflammations and premature lines and wrinkles. -
AIR CONDITIONING, HEAT & COLD
Sudden shifts in temperature deprive skin of moisture.
FRICTION FROM CLOTHING
Tight clothing rubs skin the wrong way, compromising its ability to retain moisture. -
TOO-HOT SHOWERS & BATHS
Hot water weakens the skin’s moisture barrier. Hard water and harsh cleansers don’t help.
STRESS
Tension releases cortisol—a hormone that can lead to dry skin, redness or acne.
