Instructions

1. Drink adequate amounts of water. drink 2000 to 3000 ml of water everyday. You lose moisture during the course of your day due to exertion and exposure to the sun. Replenish moisture by drinking fluids such as water.
2. Avoid drinks that make you pass urine frequently. Drinks that do this are called diuretics and examples are coffee, caffeinated beverages, alcohol and carbonated drinks.
3. Avoid taking long hot showers or baths. Instead take a short shower or bath with warm water. Hot water dries your skin out and robs it of moisture.
