Battling Dry Skin and Hair in Las Vegas By mobile las vegas makeup artist Stephanie Nery

Updated: Aug 14













Why Skin and Hair Get Dry in Las Vegas?


  1. Low Humidity: Las Vegas has humidity levels below 20%, causing moisture to evaporate from your skin and hair.

  2. The Summer heat above 100°F (38°C) increases moisture loss.


How to Combat Dryness in Vegas?


  1. Hydrate:

  • Drink PLENTY of Water: Aim for at least 8 glasses daily.

  • Use a Humidifier: Add moisture to indoor air, especially while sleeping.

  1. Moisturize:

  • Skin: Apply a rich moisturizer with hyaluronic acid and ceramides right after bathing.

  • Hair: Use deep conditioning treatments weekly and leave-in conditioners. Avoid sulfate shampoos.

  1. Protect:

  • Sunscreen: Wear SPF 30 or higher to protect skin from UV damage.

  • Hats; Shield hair and scalp from sun and wind.

  1. Gentle Cleansing:

  • Skin: Use hydrating cleansers and limit hot showers.

  • Hair: Wash 2-3 times a week with moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.


Makeup Tips for Vegas Dry Climate


Prep Your Skin:

  • Sleep with hydrating Oil

  • Exfoliate; Use a gentle exfoliator to remove dry flakey skin

  • Primer: Use a hydrating primer to create a smooth base.

  • Moisturizer: Ensure your skin is well-moisturized before applying makeup.

Choose the Right Products:

  • Foundation: Opt for a hydrating or dewy-finish foundation to prevent cakiness.

  • Cream Products: Use cream blushes, bronzers, and highlighters, which blend better and add moisture.

Set with Care:

  • Setting Spray: Avoid Drying products and Use a hydrating setting spray instead of powder to lock in your makeup without drying your skin.

  • Minimal Powder: If needed, apply a lightweight, hydrating powder only to areas that tend to get oily.

Hydrate Your Lips:

  • Lip Balm: Apply a hydrating lip balm before lipstick.

  • Lipsticks: Choose moisturizing lipsticks or glosses to keep lips soft. If you're looking for a professional makeup artist in Las Vegas, I'd love to assist you.
