Hello ma'am and welcome.

Adequate hydration levels and the apllication of a moisturizer should be quite sufficient. You should also have a diet rich in hydration (eg. Fruits lile watermelons, etc.). The use of a lotion that works for a longer duration will also greatly help.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
