Keeping your skin hydrated is obviously important.  What is the most effective way to achieve a balance of hydration that doesn’t go overboard?  If you spend too much time in water you get prune skin.

So.

There are two important factors at play:

1.  Protect your skin from water loss with a barrier.  Simply using a sunscreen is a great start; sun damage lets fluids drain away from the skin at any age.

2.  Provide moisture to your skin.  Drinking fluids, applying moisturizers, and using humidifiers in dry climates are key.
