Skin is the largest organ in the body and is made up of water, fat, protein, several minerals and chemical compounds. It consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. Each of these three layers has its own important role in the skin’s structure.

Skin also helps keep your body temperature stable. It stores fat and supports the synthesis of Vitamin D. Skin contains many nerve endings that act as sensory receptors for heat, cold, touch, vibration, pressure, pain and other sensations.

Skin is also part of the excretory system, helping remove toxins and substances produced from metabolic waste in the body through sweat.

And most importantly, your skin is the first thing other people see. When your skin looks bright and well cared for, it enhances your appearance, attractiveness and self-confidence. That’s why it’s important for all of us to look after our skin consistently.

Causes of dry skin and why
you need NIVEA lotion to brighten skin

Most of the time we don’t realise how hard our skin works to protect us from different conditions. If you look closely, there are several everyday habits that can negatively affect your skin, including:

1
Too Often and Too Long Using Hot Showers
For example, showering with very hot water too often or for too long, and not drinking enough water, can make your skin dry and flaky.

2
Food with Too Much Salt
Eating certain foods, especially those with too much salt, can affect the moisture levels in your skin.

3
Age Factor
Age is one factor that affects skin condition. As we grow older, the skin changes. It is no longer as soft or as firm as it was when we were younger.

4
Soap Products Used
Sometimes certain cleaning products such as laundry soap, dishwashing soap and even some body soaps can strip away your skin’s natural moisture.

5
Too Often Exposed to Sunlight
When skin is too often exposed to direct sunlight, it will naturally feel dry. In some cases it can even cause “burnt” skin or sunburn.

Tips to maximise the use of
NIVEA lotion to brighten skin

There are several reasons why you might need a moisturiser that helps brighten your skin. You can choose a NIVEA brightening body lotion. To maximise the benefits of your NIVEA brightening body lotion, you can also:

1
Shower Twice a Day
Regularly cleansing your skin twice a day is important for everyone. Showering helps remove dust, dirt, sweat and germs that have built up on the skin.

2
Use NIVEA Body Lotion Every Day
Use NIVEA body lotion regularly to help maintain moisture while brightening your skin, so it looks luminous and well cared for.

3
Use Products Containing SPF When Active Outdoors
Sun exposure can lead to dry skin, dark spots on the skin and even skin cancer. To help protect yourself, use a body lotion with SPF every day. The SPF helps protect your skin from the sun.

4
Protect Your Skin
It’s best to avoid the sun between 10 am and 2 pm. At this time, the ultraviolet rays are strongest. Protect yourself by wearing long-sleeved clothes, long trousers, a hat, using an umbrella or other cover.

5
Drink Enough Water
Your skin needs water to stay moist. Aim to drink about 2 litres of water a day to help keep your skin hydrated.

6
Pay Attention to Healthy Food Intake That Can Nourish Skin
Choose healthy foods every day to support your overall health and nourish your skin. For example, salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that help moisturise the skin and protect it from sun damage. Green leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale contain vitamin A, which works as an antioxidant for the skin.

7
Do Scrubs or Body Scrubs
Caring for your skin by doing scrubs once a week helps remove dirt and lift dead skin cells. The result is skin that looks cleaner and fresher.

When is the best time to use
NIVEA lotion to brighten skin?

1
After Showering
After showering, your skin is moist and most body lotions work best when the skin is hydrated. So don’t forget to apply body lotion immediately after your shower.

2
Before Exercise
If you plan to exercise outdoors, prepare your skin by applying lotion containing SPF before you start.

3
After Shaving
Shaving removes unwanted body hair, but it can also erode the very top layer of skin cells. That’s why it helps to use body lotion after shaving.

4
Before Bed
While you sleep, skin moisture can evaporate and leave the skin dry. To help prevent this, apply body lotion before going to bed.

5
After Scrub or Body Scrub
If you’ve just finished a scrub or body scrub treatment, it’s a good idea to apply body lotion afterwards. This helps your skin feel softer and look brighter.
