Do you suffer from dry skin?

Sent by: Lactic Acid Peel. The cause behind dry skin is a low sebum or skin oil secretion. Dryness is often accompanied by a dull skin look and extra-sensitivity, together with the formation of some tiny expression lines in the corner of the eyes and around the mouth. Dry skin has a poor capacity to retain moisture, it gives one the feeling of too tight on the bones, and it is most of the time described as dehydrated. Atmospheric phenomena increase dryness, making skin flake or chap.

There are several explanations or causes for skin dryness: genetic predisposition should be counted here first. This means that a person inherits the skin’s tendency to dry. Then, other than the exposure to sun, wind and severe temperature changes, dry skin can be caused by dehydration or by some skin diseases like eczema or psoriasis.

While dry skin can also be associated with ailments like diabetes there are also certain medications that will impair skin moisture.

Dry skin is further explained by a diet poor in vitamins, essential nutrients and minerals. The adjustment of the diet, the proper hydration and the intense moisturizing of the skin represent the only solutions possible in such cases. Moisturizers represent a necessity for dry skin. It all begins with how you clean your face: don’t use hot tap water; it’s better to spray some fresh mineral water and then clean the skin again with a moisturizer. The body lotion and the face cream that you apply, need to be oily enough to make the skin soft and moist.

Many people do not know how to care for their skin and make poor choices in terms of skincare products. For example, the cleaning agents should have a neutral pH, similar to that of the skin. Alkaline soaps make dry skin worse by eliminating all the natural oils and thus triggering a tissue sensitivity. Stay away from chemicals and any detergent-based product, because skin dryness will aggravate and even open the door to dermatological ailments.

Dry skin has to be kept with a minimum sun exposure; if you still want to go sunbathing, don’t neglect to use a sunscreen with a high SPF. Because of skin dryness, the sun will accelerate the aging process, making you look older and more wrinkled. By doing your best to keep your skin moist and fresh, you protect youth as a matter of fact.

Other than moisturizing, all sorts of cleansers, lotions and homemade beauty masks can be used to give your skin the right elasticity.
