Approximately 30% of adults have dry skin which often appears
rough, tight, dull in color - with visible fine lines and
wrinkles. Although there are several factors that result in dry
skin - including the genetic ones - this can be greatly caused
by environmental factors (wind, sun, heat).
So, the question is how to treat dry skin properly to
significantly improve its look and its condition as well.
- Reduce the frequency of washing
Did you know that washing by its definition is actually - drying ?
Washing removes the surface lipid film, along with environmental
contaminants, sweat, sebum, peeled cells, and microorganisms.
Thus people with dry skin need to reduce the frequency of washing
and - lubricate the skin afterwards.
- Avoid soaps
The alkalinity of soaps disturbs the normal acidity (acid mantle) of
the skin thus leading to dryness.
Therefore people with dry and sensitive skin should use a soap-free
cleanser. There are a number of synthetic detergents available that
clean as well as soaps but are adjusted so that they do not alter the
skin surface pH.
Some are combined with oils so that they lubricate the skin as
they wash. Nonetheless, if one washes too often, dryness can
also results with these products.
It is very important to have a skin care regime that you follow daily.
- Apply creamy cleansers
Accurate cleaning may increase the tenderness and smoothness of
your skin, so...
...choose a creamy cleanser and leave it on for at least ten
minutes when cleaning dry skin. Let your skin soak up some
nourishment before sweeping it away with cotton pad !
Splash your face with cool water to remove redundant cleanser
and to refresh your skin, then put on a nourishing cream to seal
moisture into the upper levels of your skin. Personally, I don't
recommend tonic for dry skin even if it doesn't content the alcohol.
Use a thick cream as this contains more oil than water and
will help seal in more moisture. Apply it to slightly wet skin
thus sealing in extra moisture. This results in softer and smoother skin.
- Change your products according to the seasons
Extremes of cold and hot weather as well as central heating
and air-conditioning can strip your skin of essential moisture,
leaving it dry and more prone to damage.
For this reason you should change your products according to
the seasons. Leave your moisturizing mask on skin for 5 -10 minutes.
It works quickly and it is a great treat, particularly after sunbathing, or
when your skin feels tight. Better yet - it can even remove dry patches,
flakiness and fine wrinkles.
Naturally, skin care does not stop at your neck. To maintain a
beautiful body you should lavish the same care on it as you do
on your complexion.
- Use oils for bathing
If your skin is naturally dry, the best way to re-hydrate your
dry skin is - bathing.
However, when the skin is toweled dry and left open to the
atmosphere, water exhales from the surface of the skin and your
skin becomes dry again. That's why bathing by itself is not
enough - the exogenous water introduced into the skin must stay
kept there.
Bath oils contain vegetable or mineral oils and can be very
useful for use in the bath or shower.
Thus either add to the bathwater as it is running an egg-cupful of
the oil or after taking the shower apply the oil directly to the skin
and then rinse it off before drying.
Also apply further moisturizers to the skin either before or
after drying after a bath.
