Winter may be a few months away, but dry, flaky skin is a year-round phenomenon. While you should go to the spa every month, the best way to guard yourself is with the best moisturisers with humectants and other hydrating ingredients. Here are some heavy duty moisturisers that help nourish and repair skin! #Nomoredryskin

When your skin is dry the last thing you need is make-up that further dries your skin. A good, liquid foundation will help keep your skin from looking too matte.

Dead skin can also contribute to skin looking drier than usual, which is why a good exfoliating routine is key. What many people forget to do is moisturize with either a body mist or cream after exfoliating. Scrubs like Ahava’s for dry skin helps to retain all your natural oils but get rid of dead skin. Perfect!
