Dry skin face
The cosmetic treatments used for dry skin face differ from one season to another. You’ll have to change the skincare products just as you change wardrobe. While in summer the focus falls on sun protection, in winter, the intensity of the moisturizer is the element that matters most. Dry skin face will often turn flaky because of the low temperatures, the intense winds and the reduced humidity level that deplete the tissues of the natural oily protection that covers our epidermis.
A special care tip for dry face skin is the use of lukewarm water for washing and the avoidance of hot showers or baths. If you still prefer to eliminate the winter chill with a hot bath, at least try not to spend too much time in it. After bathing, don’t forget to apply a moisturizer to keep the skin soft and fresh. Gently massage the dry skin face cream and the body lotion in the tissues, after having tapped it dry with a soft towel. Pay attention to the public hand washers, most of them are detergent-based and will dry the hands skin.
Exfoliation should not be used too often if you have dry skin face. The problem is that you may come across contradictory materials: some will recommend a weekly exfoliation claiming that the moisturizer works best after the treatment, while others warn that the exfoliation more often than once in two weeks aggravates dry skin. We incline to agree with the rarer variant, because dry skin and exfoliation are not exactly 100% compatible.
Then, many people are unaware of the air dryness level in their homes; furnaces usually eliminate the air moisture so that no humidity is left. Not only dry skin face but any type of skin requires a 30% humidity level in order to be comfortable and healthy. Therefore, change the dry environment of your home by investing in a humidifier.
Soaps are the enemies of dry face skin; yet we can’t say any better about certain cleansers. You should choose a product from a good brand preferably one that indicates the moisturizing feature on the package. Another good alternative here is the use of a gentle cleanser that will most surely have a balanced pH close to that of the skin. All in all, lots of things could make a difference for your skin look, and the more you know, the healthier you can become.
