Zan Ziba Beauty Clinic

Hello, hi, good morning

I am a 26-year-old student juggling finishing a degree with maintaining a life and a beauty regime.

As you can imagine, my weeks involve lots of sleepless nights spent hustling to finish projects and studying for my exams.

And despite doing my best to stay hydrated (gotta get that 8 glasses of H2O a day)

and using a moisturiser twice a day... the stress has marked my face.

I have fine lines marbling my forehead and gracing the corner of my eyes.
It’s a nightmare.... The wrinkles have to go.

I tried nearly everything - from anti-ageing creams to vitamin-C packed facemasks and even drinkable collagen.

Nothing seemed to make an actual, visible difference. That's until I discovered venus Viva.

This wonder of a treatment has been popularised by various Instagram make-up tutorials has completely transformed my skin.

WHAT HELPS DRY SKIN!

Dry, itchy skin can sometimes be intolerable. It can occur any time during the year. But most people suffer dry, itchy skin issues in winters. Read on here why the skin tends to be very dry and scaly in winters and how to treat dry and itchy skin, including hands, feet, body, face and lips year-round.

Practical Tricks To Help And Treat Dry Skin

1. Use Lukewarm Water, Not Hot: Hot water strips moisture off your skin resulting into dry skin conditions, thus it’s best to shower in lukewarm water. In case you can’t follow this tenet — simply because due to winter days that I cannot – then keep your showers short and consider showering only once a day. Remember hot, hot temperature – whether hot showers or hot tubs are torture on dry skin.

The same dictum applies to hand washing: Wash your hands in lukewarm, never-never in hot water.

2. Moisturize After Showers or Hand Washing: If you feel your skin feels tight and stretched, it’s an indication that your skin is thirsty – so you need to add some moisture. For those who like to use natural treatments, here are some best natural moisturizers.

3. Layer Creams Over Oils: In case you have extremely dry skin, follow this super dry skin tip. Apply body oils such as organic coconut oil or sweet almond oil, and then when that’s soaked in, apply a cream. Reason: Body creams generally work to keep moisture in, but they don’t add moisture to the skin like oils do – so you need to add moisture onto the skin, which oils can do better.

5. Use a Facial Mask for Dry Skin: You don’t have to spend hefty amounts on a facial mask or a facial at a spa. Make your own facemask for dry skin by simply using natural ingredients. ( We will share some recipe tips with you in our next post)

6. Ditch The Drying Soaps: Soaps can play havoc on dry skin. Better is to use a creamy moisturizing cleanser that contains glycerin or petrolatum for your body. For the face, opt for cleansers that are meant for dry skin. Consider using a type, which you can wipe off without using water, because your tap water may contain harsh minerals.
