Dry skin requires special attention and proper care.

Frequent cleaning or the use of inappropriate products can significantly worsen the condition of dry skin. In this case, intensity is not recommended. How to take care of dry skin? What mistakes to avoid so that our face is beautiful, smooth and of uniform colour? This is what you will find out in this article.

 

Dry skin is easy to recognize: It is rough and unpleasant to the touch. After washing, the skin feels taut and tight. In general, dry skin is also very thin, so that blood vessels are sometimes visible.

Dry skin does not look aesthetically pleasing especially when redness, itching and irritation occur.

 

Another rather unpleasant feature of dry skin is the tendency to appearance of facial wrinkles. The ageing process in dry skin occurs much faster than in the case of normal skin.

Constant dryness of the skin is caused by the production of less sebum, which results in the skin producing fewer lipids. Lipids protect the skin from harmful elements and provide them with the right level of moisture. It is the lack of adequate amounts of sebum and lipids that causes tight skin.

Dry skin is caused by genetics or external factors such as UV light, dry air; poorly chosen skincare products, or taking blood pressure medication. The tendency to have dry skin is evident among fair-skinned people, pregnant women, or those going through menopause.

 

Let’s now focus a little more on what causes dry skin and how to counteract it.

First of all, you should pay special attention to what cosmetics we use for care and what their composition is. First of all, as soon as possible give up cosmetics created based on alcohol. It has a drying effect, which in the case of dry skin will only worsen its condition. Dry skin is usually very sensitive, which makes it inadvisable to perform granular peeling. This can lead to skin irritation. To get rid of the old epidermis, it is recommended to use an enzymatic peel.

 

Weather conditions also contribute to the poor condition of our skin. Low temperatures, being out in the cold or harsh sun can have a bad effect on dry skin. For this reason, dry skin is most common in summer and winter.

 

Another factor that affects our skin is poor nutrition. We usually do not pay much attention to what we eat and in what quantity. This is a big mistake. Our meals should have many nutritional values such as vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B and E. Supplementation of the above-mentioned vitamins helps to produce collagen, increase skin hydration levels, and protect against harmful UV rays. Afterall we are what we eat!

Dry skin can also be a side effect of medications taken, especially those regulating blood pressure, it is also a symptom of dehydration of the body. If this is the case, not only is dry skin a symptom but so are dark circles under the eyes and chapped lips. Skin dehydration occurs when more water evaporates from the epidermis than the body can supply.

Severe heat, drinking too little water, fever – these are all reasons for not having adequate water levels in the body.


We also got some tips on how to clean dry skin. You should avoid facial cleansers with soap or SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate). These ingredients can remove natural oil production from your skin. You should also avoid gels containing alcohol, fragrances or parabens.

Due to its tendency for irritation, makeup removal on dry skin should be carried out gently. A micellar lotion or makeup remover should also contain soothing and moisturizing properties – ideal for dry skin. Remove makeup using cotton pads and gently wiping your face with them. Don’t be too quick and rough, as this can irritate your skin and lead to redness and imperfections.

 

Use warm water when washing your face. When you take a hot shower remember to put some lotion on after. Hot water can make your skin much drier. Never rub your face with a towel to dry it. It’s better to use nice, soft cotton towel and gently pat your face dry.

 

Remember: over-cleansing your face can dry out the skin!

The main task of cosmetics for dry skin should be strong hydration and nourishment. Products with such an effect contain ingredients such as collagen, hyaluronic acid, urea, lactic acid.

The second type of ingredients found in lubricating and moisturizing cosmetics are substances that prevent moisture loss. These are wax (beeswax or jojoba), which has regenerative properties and petroleum jelly and paraffin oil, which are responsible for the formation of a protective layer on the skin and inhibit water loss.

 


Now let’s focus on proper dry skincare. The first and most important step is to provide it with hydration. For this purpose, products containing urea and amino acids will work great. These ingredients help retain water in the skin layers. It is advisable to have a moisturizing cream in two versions: for the day and the night. Day cream should contain UV filters, which protect our face from the sun. The night cream should regenerate and nourish the skin.

The next step is to lubricate dry skin. If you have dry skin, lubrication should become an obligatory stage of skincare.

Greasing creams will help a lot in this regard. Face creams for dry and sensitive skin included shea butter can make a soothing effect.

 

When you want to change one of your basic products for skincare, do it carefully. You need to remember about switching one product at a time.

Thank that you will know is this product is bad for your skin or not (it is easy to tell if a product causes an allergic reaction on your skin). Before using a product on your face, do a hand test. Use a new product for at least 2 weeks to see how it performs. After this time, you can introduce another new cosmetic.

  2. Use products free of alcohol, strong fragrances, SLS etc.
  3. Moisturize your skin every morning and evening. The day cream should contain UV filters, the night cream should be highly nourishing, regenerating and richer in composition than the day cream.

To protect your skin from excessive drying it is good to avoid air-conditioned rooms and humidify the air in those rooms where we spend the most time.
  7. The last and most important tip: DRINK PLENTY OF WATER!
