rather than bearing a season of dry hands, cracked lips and a dull complexion, pharmacist abdullah al-Kazaz from Cadence apothecary suggests using skincare products that are rich in antioxidants, void of any sensitizing fragrant agents, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. one of the most important things to consider while shopping the beauty aisles are the ingre- dients used within the products. “expensive does not equal good quality,” says al-Kazaz. “Just because [a product] is natural, does not mean it is good for you.”
the good news is that there are plenty
of homemade remedies, which are perfectly suited for those who like to pamper themselves with a spa day at home. you can feed your skin with ingredients that will help you achieve a coveted glow, without looking further than your very own kitchen. there is no need to rely on expensive treatments for the skin of your dreams when you can create the perfect facial mask by simply blending an avocado with some honey.

the same goes for your hair too. if your locks are looking lifeless this season and could bene t from a hydrating lift, Dr. Dhanji claims that adding coconut milk to the avo- cado and honey formula could also be used as a solution for treating your hair.
Above all, though, the most ef cient way to maintain a youthful and hydrated look is by drinking lots of uids. Show your skin some love with something as simple as drink- ing at least eight glasses of water a day. staying hydrated is key, so as al-Kazaz says, “invest in a water bottle and make that your best friend.”
