The best way to hydrate the skin, is to have a preventative
lifestyle that creates internal health and well-being. The skin is the largest
organ of the body and will respond well to a healthy lifestyle.
Say no to smoking which ages the skin
prematurely. It causes your skin to lose its elasticity earlier, which makes it
more difficult for it to hold onto moisture.
Start from the inside out. Drink plenty of water
and eat healthy foods rich in antioxidants. The first step to
hydrate your skin is to give your body the things it needs to repair itself.
Use a humidifier. You can use a humidifier while
you sleep which can aid in giving dry skin a boost, which will prevent your
skin from drying out throughout the day. Make sure you clean the humidifier
every 5 days with distilled vinegar; otherwise bacteria can build up from use.
Protect your skin. Wear sunscreen every day. Sun
damage does a great deal of damage to our skin, and even more so as we age.
Exposure to the harmful effects of the sun can create more wrinkles, as well as
discoloration and age spots, so if you are in the process of hydrating and
restoring your skin so you have a more youthful glow, don't set yourself back
by forgetting to wear sunscreen every day.
Find an excellent moisturizer and other skin care products that help to hydrate your skin. Use products
with clean ingredients that will be absorbed internally into the cellular
level. This will replenish your skin like moisturizers with Squalane from
Olives to hydrate your thirsty aging skin. Maintain elasticity, promote cell
turnover, and create a moisture barrier between your face and the environment
for the greatest benefits.
PRODUCTS
Exfoliation is key to rid the build up of dry
dead skin cells that accumulate on the surface of the skin. Use a gentle exfoliant that will not damage or irritate the surface of the skin that can
lead to aging. We can recommend our Gentle Almond and Lavender Face Scrub that
is gentle enough to be used daily if needed. If you have excessively dry skin
use this scrub daily as an exfoliating mask by massaging a pea size into the
face and letting it sit on the skin for 15 minutes. The Shea Butter, Squalane
and Essential Oils will be absorbed into the skin and the three grains of
Jojoba Beads, Almond Meal, and Oatmeal will deeply exfoliate and deep clean the
skin. After 15 minutes remove with warm water and you skin will be less dry, feel
so much softer and the color will be more vibrant. Also your daily moisturizer
and your night cream will be absorbed a lot more effectively and deeply.
Always use a good moisturizer with a clean SPF
at least SPF15 to be effective. If using a moisturizer or SPF made from
minerals make sure that the company does not use micronized particles of
Titanium Dioxide or Zinc Oxide that will create a toxic compound and be
absorbed into the liver. We at Kimberly Sayer of London have never and will
never use Nano particles in our daily moisturizers.
We can recommend our Anti-Oxidant DailyMoisturizer with SPF25 for normal or dry skin and our Ultra Light FacialMoisturizer with SPF 30 for Combination, Oily or Acneic skin’s.
Use a good night cream to repair and restore
while you sleep and a good treatment mask once or twice a week to hydrate and
restore the skin back to a youthfull firmness and appearance. In the colder
weather we suggest double layering by using a night cream or hydrating mask
underneath your moisturizer to double layer, hydrate and protect and support
the skin’s invisible protective layer, “the acid mantle”.
We can recommend our Hydrating Anti-OxidantFacial Mask and our Night creams.
SUPPLEMENTS
I personally love Vitamin B Complex with VitaminC to combat stress and speed repair and absorption of nutrients, which will
give healthy and restorative properties to the skin.
For hydration fish oils can prevent and repair skin conditions that
range from dryness to psoriasis and may be effective in counteracting sun
damage. They may also hydrate the skin and soften wrinkles.

Excellent article, highly informative and great tips! I've been using Kimberly's products for years and my skin has never been better, have given them to friend, also, s and they were similarly impressed. These pure products transformed my parched skin back to how it used to be years and years ago and I am a devotee for life! I'd love to hear more from the fabulous founder herself, her skincare secrets are so important in a high stress, polluted, fast pace world where some pampering at the start and end of the day makes all the difference!
I wonder why Kimberly changed the ingredients of her Ultra Light Facial Moisturizer? The old ones looked so much better!
