Drinking lots of water is important but there’s so much more you can do
Summer is almost here and although you’re probably heading to a Dubai spa to ensure you are vacay ready, the fabulous The H Dubai’s Mandara Spa is sharing top tips so you can keep your skin fresh, rejuvenated and hydrated each and every day., so you skin looks and feels great, taking years off you in the process.
Here goes:
Drink Lots of Water
Well, this is a no brainer; nevertheless, most of us, due to our busy schedules, often don’t drink enough water throughout the day. Mandara Spa recommends drinking lots of the good stuff to ensure that the body is nourished with fluids from within. The spa says you must consume at least three litres of water a day and reduce the consumption of fizzy drinks, sweetened beverages and caffeine. So get your water bottles filled!
Keep your skin moisturised
Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise both your face and lips. Double cleansing is also recommended to remove excess oil and the application of a serum or a face mask will restore the skin’s firmness and lock in hydration for the long run. Prolonged sun exposure should be avoided, and sunscreen should be used daily, whether indoors or outdoors, to protect the skin barrier from UV rays that can cause damage and lead to dry and irritated skin. Proper sleep and rest is also important for a much-needed energy boost, and to help you unwind and meditate.
Use DIY face masks
For those who prefer home remedies or DIY face masks, Mandara Spa is suggesting that you use a facial sheet mask after cleansing and toning to give the skin an extra boost of hydration before applying some skincare products. For dry skin, a moisturiser should be used every day, with a richer or heavier one at night to support the skin barrier and lock in moisture. Avocado masks are an easy to make favourite for combating dehydrated skin. Mix a quarter of an avocado with one tablespoon of Greek yoghurt, apply on your skin, leave for 15 minutes and remove with warm water.

Don’t fancy doing it yourself? Then head to Mandara Spa and indulge in their range of natural and rejuvenating ingredients in its skincare products and treatments, which helps improve moisture retention, encourages cell regeneration, and does not negatively affect the immune system.
