Dry Skin Care
For Skin Health and Anti Aging
Dry skin care cannot be ignored if needed. It leads to cracking of the upper layer of skin and gives it a bad appearance.
The main causes of dry skin
include: dry climate, hormonal changes, too much exfoliation and
treatment of other skin disorders. Moreover, dryness could be
the inherent nature of one’s skin. Whatever the cause, it's
very important (but not very difficult).
If you have dry skin, you'll need to begin care with
moisturisers, the most effective remedy for dry skin. Generally
moisturisers are classified under 2 categories based on the way they
provide the proper care for dry skin.
- The first category includes
moisturizers that provide ‘dry skin care’ just by preserving the
moisture within the skin e.g. Vaseline. These moisturizers are
relatively inexpensive and are readily available (even at grocery
shops).
- The second category includes
moisturizers that work by drawing moisture from the environment and
supplying it to the skin. This is a very effective means
of care in humid conditions for dry skin. The
moisturizers that provide dry skin care in this way are also
called humectants. For proper care, you must use a non-greasy type of
moisturizer. Humectants fall in this category. The ingredients of
humectants include propylene glycol, urea, glycerine, hyaluronic acid
etc.
Skin care for dry skin is not about just using moisturizers but also using them properly. The best procedure is to cleanse the skin before the application of your moisturizer. You can do even more for your skin by applying the moisturizer while the skin is still damp (after cleansing).
Also, make sure that you use soap-free products (especially on your face, neck and arms). Exfoliation does help in dry skin care, by removing the dead skin cells. However, don’t exfoliate too hard.
Your dry skin care procedures/products should also take care of sun protection. Avoid too much and too direct exposure to sun (simply by using an umbrella/hat etc). Use a good sunscreen lotion before going out. A lot of moisturizers provide sun protection too, along with dry skin care.
Natural products are also available for dry skin, i.e. products that provide care without the use of synthetic chemicals. These products supply lipid enhancements to the skin, hence enabling moisture retention within the skin.
Another, important thing for dry skin care is the temperature of water you use for shower or for washing your face – Use warm water; too hot or too cold water can cause dryness too.
Dry skin care is also about being gentle with your skin. You should avoid harsh detergents and alcohol based cleansers. Also, after a face wash do not rub your face with a towel. Just pat gently to soak the water off.
On the whole, dry skin isn't that
difficult to care for as long as you're consistent in your daily skin
routine.
