Why does skin dry out?
Dry skin is one of the most common skin problems faced by both women and men. It occurs not only due to environmental conditions, but also due to daily habits.
Main reasons:
-
Environmental factors. Heating season, air conditioners, wind, and cold severely dry out the skin.
-
Improper care products. Aggressive cleansers with sulfates and alcohol-based tonics damage the protective barrier.
-
Dehydration. If you drink too little water, your skin will lose elasticity more quickly.
-
Age. As we age, our natural ability to retain moisture decreases. - the skin stretches faster.
-
Weak skin barrier. When the lipid layer is damaged, moisture simply evaporates.
Does a feeling of tightness mean you are dehydrated?
Not always. Often the feeling of tightness is caused by a weak skin barrier - the skin loses not only water, but also lipids. Therefore, just drinking more water is not enough - external help is needed: creams, serums and moisturizing masks.
The best ingredients to solve this problem:
-
Hyaluronic acid - locks in moisture.
-
Ceramides - restores the skin barrier.
-
Niacinamide - soothes, reduces redness.
-
Panthenol - provides a feeling of comfort.
How to recognize dry skin?
