#beautyHow I managed to keep my skin moist
Hydration and exfoliation are the key words. There is a lot of litterature about this subject. Some think that you must drink 2 liters of water per day, others disagree. I personally managed to keep my skin hydrated by combining a balanced diet with fruits and vegetables (by the way, they contain a lot of water) with a regular exfoliation to remove the dead skin cells.

Beauty products ingredients dangerous for your skin
Here's a tip that certain beauty companies won't like because it contains an inconvenient truth about cosmetic products.
Most of the time we don't pay attention at the product's label. It contains a lot of ingredients difficult to pronounce and it doesn't say much to us.
For instance, I believed that Sodium Laureth Sulfate (also known as SLES) is a classic component in most of the cleansing products, with no harm to the skin. After a little reading, I found out that Sodium Laureth Sulfate contains a low level of a carcinogen element, 1,4-Dioxane that may cause skin damage and eye irritation. It can be absorbed through the scalp and skin from shampoos, bath and shower gels, and other personal care products.
Check a list of ingredients that are considered dangerous for the human skin.
Next time I will be more careful when choosing my shampoo.
