Proper care for dry skin

It can be considered that the owners of dry skin are incredibly lucky. They always have an even complexion and invisible pores. On the other hand, insufficient moisture makes the skin very vulnerable. It quickly becomes sensitive and tight, wrinkles on dry skin appear faster. To avoid these unpleasant phenomena, you need special care.

Dry skin - common problems

Some women are satisfied with their dry skin, because neither oily sheen, nor acne they are not worried. But the effect of time on dry skin is reflected faster - they appear earlier wrinkles, the skin becomes very sensitive to any irritants, unpleasant peeling begins, in some cases even microcracks appear. All this is due to the lack of natural protection in the form of an oily film, which leads to drying out of the skin.

How to care for dry skin

The basic rule in caring for dry skin is to bring it to such a state that discomfort and dryness are not felt. Use cosmetics made only for dry skin.

To cleanse the skin, use a special milk, the remains of which remove the toner for dry skin. For the area around the eyes, where the skin is especially thin and delicate, use a special serum. Then you need to apply a fortified moisturizer or nourishing cream. If you feel tight during the day, reapply the moisturizer.

Do not use tap water to wash your face - chlorine is harmful to dry skin. Take special thermal water or at least purified with a household filter. Moisturize your skin with thermal sprays throughout the day to soothe the skin, prevent wrinkles and set makeup. In the summer focus on moisturizers. Be sure to use high barrier creams that need to be applied over a moisturizer.

How to moisturize dry skin

Saturation of dry skin with moisture is very important for its health and youth. There are two ways to maintain skin moisture, allocated by cosmetologists - internal saturation of the skin with moisture and external.

Internal moisture saturation occurs due to the water that we drink. Moisture penetrates into skin cells and is held there by hyaluronic acid molecules. For sufficient moisture saturation, you need to drink at least one and a half liters of clean water per day. It is best to drink non-carbonated mineral water, as a last resort, take water purified using a household filter.

For external moisturizing, use special cosmetics that are designed exclusively for dry skin, take water treatments more often. Products containing glycolic, hyaluronic acid or lactic acid well moisturize dry skin.
