20 Top Moisturising Hair & Skin Products To Use This Summer

While summer presents the perfect opportunity to kick back and relax, it’s certainly not the right time of year to slack on your skincare routine or looking after your hair. UVA/UVB rays are harmful all year long, but they’re especially detrimental during the summer months. Salt water and chlorine can wreak havoc on your skin and hair too and leave signs of wear and tear if you don’t take action.

One of the major problems for skin and hair in summer is dehydration. A lack of moisture can leave skin looking flaky, red, dry and dull, as well as feeling uncomfortable. Plus, when skin is dehydrated, its key functions are more prone to give in, which can lead to problems like premature ageing. And just as with your skin, your hair is made up of proteins that need moisture to work. The protective coating on the hair, the hydrolipidic film, can get destroyed by the sun, salt water and chlorine, which can cause the moisture located deep in the core of the hair shaft to quickly evaporate. And when moisture has been sucked out of your mane, you’re left with complications like tangles, breakage and dulling colour.

We’ve picked out some of the best moisturising products to help combat dehydration, protect your skin and hair and keep your locks and complexion looking healthy and nourished. By starting to use these wonder products now, you can prevent any more damage and stop your hair and skin from having to cry out for moisture by the end of summer.
