I'm normally a combination skinned gal, but a temporary move to an apartment four months ago (which we hadn't realised has terrible ventilation), while our house is being refurbished, has left my skin feeling more parched than usual. There's a real lack of fresh air in the bedrooms which is playing havoc with my face and body, and my family's skin has been noticeably drier, too - it's made me realise how important a healthy environment is, particularly in the room you're sleeping in. I'm counting down the days until I'm back in my lovely, well-ventilated house (one week to go!).
In the meantime, I've been trying to combat this unfortunate scenario by drinking more water and reaching for some of my favourite fast-acting moisture boosters. Although these have been formulated with dry skin in mind, I find they work on lots of different skin types - and no matter what category you fall into, all skin can be prone to dehydration from time to time. The four products below have been thoroughly tried and tested, and I know they're popular with my dry-skinned #houseofeldridge girls too.
