Dry Skin Care
The cosmetic treatments used for dry skin face differ from one season to another. Some have compared the change of skincare products with that of wardrobe change. While in summer the focus falls on sun protection, in winter, the intensity of the moisturizer is the element that matters most. Since the low temperatures, the reduced humidity level and the wind deplete the tissues of the natural oils secreted by the skin, it is normal for dry skin face to turn flaky.
The use of lukewarm water for dry skin face washing is definitely better than hot baths or hot showers. Even if you feel the need to get warm on a chilly winter day, don’t spend too much time in hot water. After bathing, don’t forget to apply a moisturizer to keep the skin soft and fresh. Gently massage the body lotion or the dry skin face cream in the tissues, after having tapped it dry with a soft towel. Be careful where you wash and the products you use for cleaning because those that are detergent-based will dry the skin even more.
Then, dry skin face is not exactly compatible with exfoliation treatments. The problem is that you may come across contradictory materials: some will recommend a weekly exfoliation claiming that the procedure enhances the action of the moisturizer, while others only advise you to use the exfoliating process at least once in a fortnight. We incline to agree with the rarer variant, because dry skin and exfoliation are not exactly 100% compatible.
We should also point out how harmful home air dryness is for skin; furnaces usually reduce the air moisture so that no humidity is left. What you may not know is that not only dry skin face, but any type of skin requires a 30% humidity level in the atmosphere. Therefore, do not hesitate to invest in a humidifier and make the living conditions adequate for a great look.
Soaps are the enemies of dry face skin; yet there are many poor quality cleansers that are no better than soaps. You should choose a product from a good brand preferably one that indicates the moisturizing feature on the package. Another good option 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, there are lots of things you can do to care for dry face skin: make sure to know as many as you can!
