Dullness

Has your skin lost its youthful glow? While you may be tempted to write off your dull skin as just another symptom of ageing, in fact, dull skin can indicate signs of poor self-care. You may be dehydrated, over-stressed, suffering from lack of sleep or eating a poor diet. Thankfully, all of these problems can be remedied with some simple lifestyle changes. Set a goal to drink that litre of water today. Get to bed early tonight and enjoy a good 8 hours sleep. Snack on an apple instead of those crisps, add a crunchy bag of salad to your lunch.

Discolouration

Discoloured skin – also known as hyperpigmentation – is something to watch out for. On the one hand, it could be caused by too much exposure to the sun. If you know you’ve been spending a lot of time outdoors lately, then you may want to consider putting on some more sunscreen or keeping yourself covered up when you go outside in the summer sun.

Alternatively, there is a small chance that your hyperpigmentation could be a symptom of an adrenal disorder known as Addison’s disease. This is a hormonal condition which results in a lack of cortisol and can cause fatigue and muscle aches. If you think this may be the cause, we’d suggest seeking advice from a medical professional as soon as you can.

Dryness

Does your skin look rather dry and cracked? If so, then the most obvious cause is dehydration. Drinking plenty of fluids is vital for maintaining plump, firm skin cells, so the first thing you should do if you notice dry skin is ensure you rehydrate pronto!

Drink several big cups of water and carry a bottle of water with you wherever you go. Dehydration can cause a variety of other unpleasant side effects besides dried-out skin, so it’s vital that you keep topping up your liquids, particularly in the summer heat.

Of course, dried skin can also be a symptom of other underlying issues too. Have you noticed that your lips are always chapped, no matter how much salve you use? If so, then it could be worth investing in a daily supplement, as you could be deficient in vitamin B.

Patches of redness

Red, itchy patches appearing on your skin could be a sign of eczema. This common skin disorder can have a variety of causes, including stress or an adverse reaction to jewellery containing nickel. If you’ve noticed redness and itchiness, it’s worth taking a trip to the dermatologist or your GP. That way, they can prescribe medicated creams to help restore your skin to its former health.

Nourish your skin

As we’ve already mentioned, making sure you eat a balanced diet and drink plenty of fluids is crucial for maintaining healthy skin. It also has the added effect of making you feel great in yourself. You deserve the best don’t you?

Ditch the harsh chemicals

If you have sensitive skin – or even if you don’t – it’s best to avoid using soaps, shampoos and lotions that contain lots of chemicals. Instead, try to use natural, vitamin-infused products if you can, to avoid stripping your skin of its protective oils.

Slap on the sunscreen

UV rays are one of the main causes of skin damage. For this reason, it’s important that you use a high SPF sun lotion when you go out, especially on very sunny days.  You can also buy moisturisers and makeup products that contain SPF too.

Nurture your skin with a revitalising facial

Last but not least, if you need any more tips on how to keep your skin healthy, it doesn’t hurt to treat yourself to a pampering every once in a while!
