Weather warning!

Just add water.
Does your skin look dull, flaky and dry? Drink more water. Is it feeling tight and uncomfortable? Drink more water. Have the lines around your eyes suddenly turned into crevasses overnight? DRINK MORE WATER!

Vitamin C is probably most well know as an antioxidant, but it also has a marked effect on collagen production, helps reduce pigmentation and has an anti-inflammatory effect.
