Our skin is what protects us against injury, heat, and light radiation. Our skin allows us to adjust to the various weather conditions. However, we want to make sure that we protect our skin from getting dry. With dry skin, it can’t be as effective in protecting us from outside factors, nor can we look our best.

Cosmetic products are very important to protecting our skin. If you’re an outdoor person, sunscreen is your best friend, for it’ll protect you from skin aging and skin cancer. Lotions provide protein for your skin to keep it moist, as well as prevent oily skin, which is the factor that causes acne development. Lotion also prevents moisture lost by the skin itself.

In addition, when showering make sure you’re using a bar of soap or body wash soap like Ivory soap, which is safe to use on the skin. Some body wash soaps tend to strip your skin of your natural oils, and can also cause allergic reactions if you’re sensitive to chemicals and fragrances found in some soap bar and body wash soaps. Ivory soap helps to hydrate the skin and leave it soft even after showering, and doesn’t have strong fragrances that you have chances of inhaling.

Aside from this natural method of moisturizing your face, make sure to also have some cosmetic products that help to moisturize the face and protect your skin from dryness.

The way in which you should care for your hair will depend on your hair type. People with greasy hair will have a different hair care regime than someone with dry or flyaway hair. You need to establish what type of hair you have before you know how best to care for it.

Dry hair: Often prone to breaking, frizzing and with a generally dull appearance. Dry hair needs moisture. When washing, use a shampoo specifically formulated for dry hair, this will help increase its much needed moisture levels. Also use a conditioner for dry hair. Wrap your hair in a towel for a couple of minutes after washing, then remove the towel and apply conditioner. This will make the effect of he conditioner more intensive. Try not to wash your hair everyday, leaving your hair for a couple of days and not washing it will give the natural oils in your hair a chance to spread around the hair a little.

When styling, use a heat protection product, this will minimise the damage that your heated styling appliances will do. Make sure anything you apply to your hair has dried before you straighten your hair. Having liquid on your wet air and then straightening it will do a lot of damage; your straighteners will basically boil any moisture that is left on your hair.

Greasy hair: Often looks lank and wet, and you may have washed it just that morning. This is caused by overproduction of sebum.

Specifically formulated shampoos are good for greasy hair, they contain ingredients that help to delay the production of oil, making the hair look fresher for longer.

You may need to wash your hair everyday, but do not use a harsh shampoo or water that is too hot. This will only cause the sebum glands to overcompensate and produce more oil. Try a dry shampoo; this will help to remove some of the oil without drying out your roots completely

You will still need heat protection so when choosing styling products, go for something light, but protective. Sprays are best, as serums and creams tend to be too heavy and drag the hair down, and make it look much greasier. Apply to the middle and ends of your hair, if you apply them too high up, you will just make your hair look even greasier.

Combination hair: Possibly the most difficult to care for, combination hair will normally have greasy roots and dry ends. There are shampoos available for combination hair, but there is not a great selection. Choose a mild shampoo, nothing too harsh, as this will damage the ends. Dry shampoo will remove the grease from the roots without drying out the ends. Choose a conditioner that is not too heavy, something designed for greasy hair; these will still condition the dry ends of your hair without making your roots look even greasier.

Apply heat protection styling products to the middle and ends of your hair, not the roots.

Normal hair: If you are lucky enough to have normal hair, then choose a shampoo and conditioner that will help to maintain the moisture levels in your hair, make sure you still use heat protection products.

Coloured hair: The lathering process when washing your hair can strip it of a lot of its colour. Choose a shampoo for coloured hair (they lather less) Choose a conditioner that is for coloured hair aswell, these will keep your colour looking fresher for longer. Try not to wash your hair everyday.

There are many styling products available for coloured hair, even specific colours such as brown, red and blonde (although I have never seen one for black hair)

These will all protect your hair and keep your colour looking vibrant at the same time.

Looking after dry hair requires products that will care for it, repair your hair and leave it looking smooth and shiny. This again entails the need of products that can make your hair look and feel beautiful. Here are the top products that you need in order to care for dry hair.

Hair Masks
This will be your best friend in caring for dry hair. Dry hair needs to retain moisture, to repair and to also get that radiant shine which dry hair can lack in. A good quality hair mask will get rid of all your problems or most of them. Usually they are used once a week to replenish and revitalise your hair. They can be used more often if needed. Always look for a hair mask that is suited for dry hair, ask your hair stylist to recommend you one.

Shampoo/Conditioner
One always has to wash their hair and investing in a shampoo and conditioner that is suited to your hair type (dry/damaged hair) is vital. This will make sure that your hair is not stripped of all its moisture by shampooing it. The Body Shop produces an excellent shampoo and conditioner for dry hair. They are priced more than the drug store brands however last a long time and is excellent for your hair. In addition, never shampoo your hair more than necessary as this will strip it of the oils that your hair needs. Dry hair should be washed twice a week to keep the natural oils.

Leave in spray/conditioner
Always use a good leave in conditioner for your hair, it will help protect and repair your hair between washes and is a great detangling product. Do not use a lot of the product as some may weigh down the hair, use a small amount and work through the whole hair using a comb or brush.

Oils
You can purchase many oils separately such as olive oil, grape seed oil, jojoba oil or almond to use on your hair. You can also purchase them as a mixture from many stores. Furthermore, you can use oils in many ways on the hair.

Purchase a spray bottle and fill it with the oils of your choice. You can use this and spray onto your hair when needed.

Hot oil treatment
Apply a blend of oils to your hair making sure all the hair is coated. Wet a hair towel and heat it in the microwave. Or put the hair towel in hot water and wring it out. Put the towel onto your hair. Put another towel on your hair; however make sure it is dry. This will hold in the heat. Leave it for around 45 minutes. You can also keep it in overnight for an intense hydration.
