1. You Brought the Heat
There is something incredibly comforting about stepping into a hot shower, letting the warmth dissolve the stress from your soul and the heat to melt away tension in your body.
That is until you step out of the shower and realize you have also stripped away oils and moisture from your body. The top layer of your skin is full of healthy fats, proteins, and lipids. The shower's heat may feel good, but it's not so nice to your skin’s top layer.

Don't worry too much – this one is an easy fix!
Skip the heat and settle for lukewarm water a few times a week. Then, apply a moisturizing body serum like Vibriance's Age Defying Body Serum within a minute after getting out of the shower. If your face is feeling the pain of dry skin – apply Vibriance's Moisturizing Cream within a minute after washing your face.

2. Let the Sunshine in
If you have been basking in the golden rays of that beautiful burning ball in the sky, your skin may be feeling a little tight and dry. This is due to the UV rays causing the outermost layer of your skin to thicken and dehydrate. In turn, you experience dry skin.
Here's the kicker: it doesn't have to be sunny for the UV rays to be present. Cloudy and rainy days are not free from UV rays, nor does a window block them. So, sitting in your house or driving in a car does not protect you from the sun.
Luckily, we have sunscreen for that job! Vibriance's Sheer Zinc Sunscreen is SPF 50 and works overtime as a moisturizer with a subtle foundation effect.
A 3-in-1? Yes, please!

3. Keeping your glass half-empty
There's a reason the doctor says to drink water daily. Not only does it help your organs and body run properly, all while helping with mental health, but it helps us stay hydrated.
When we are dehydrated, it shows in our skin. Lack of water causes not-so-lovely results like dry skin and loss of elasticity, which overly enhances lines and wrinkles.
Some of us have a hard time reaching for another glass of plain, old water.
Try adding fruit to it for flavoring! Warm up some water with freshly squeezed lemon for a comforting treat. Set a goal of at least two glasses of water before your morning cup of coffee. Then be amazed at how quickly your skin starts to heal. Drink up!

4. Family-first
If you have already addressed the top three reasons for dry skin, and it is still there, look to your family. Your genetics may be at play.
If your parents and siblings suffer from dehydrated, flakey skin, you may be predisposed to dry skin. Hope is not lost!
Look for a thicker body serum that heals from the inside. Moisturizers are excellent at trapping moisture, but when you want to heal your skin, you need something that will penetrate the skin. This is where serums come in.
