Your body tends to lose a lot of moisture in the summer, so it’s important to regularly replenish the H2O. Drink a lot of water and liquids and your skin will stay soft and moisturized as well.

It’s also best to minimize the intake of alcohol and caffeine as they reduce the water from your system.
