Did you know that the majority of people have either dry, oily or combination skin conditions. Normal skin type is a special privilege only given to some. Dry skin is annoying. It's itchy, flaky, scratchy and scaley.
Winter is one of the harsher seasons where skin becomes dry and lips can become chapped and cracked. Extreme temperatures, wind and air-conditioning are also contributors to dry skin. If your oil glands are not supplying the skin with enough oil, it can also cause dehydration, leaving the skin dry. It can also be a result of a poor diet or, unfortunately, passed down genetically.
Dry skin will make your skin look tightly drawn over the bones and may flake or chap. It looks dull, especially around the cheeks and eyes where tiny expression lines accentuate it.
A cleanser, toner and moisturizer can really help dry skin. Find a cleanser with Aquatic Iris Extract to gently cleanse away make-up and impurities, and Alpine Glacial Water to deliver revitalising moisture to the skin. Try to find a toner with Orange Flower Extract and Alpine Glacial Water. This will gently tone and condition the skin in preparation for moisturiser.
Lastly find a moisturiser that can deliver an intense moisture and hydrate the skin. Arctic Cranberry Oil has antioxidants 60 times more powerful than Vitamin E. If you find a moisturiser carrying Arctic Cranberry Oil your skin will feel rehydrated and fresh.
To rehydrate that soft area around your eyes and remove some of those expression lines find an eye cream enriched with Mountain Bilberry Extract. This will firm the skin and reduce the appearance of puffiness. Also keep an eye out for Peptides in eye creams, which help with dark circles.
While there are many products to help with dry skin nothing helps like keeping the inside rehydrated. Be careful of hot showers, they may dilate your blood vessels, which results in water loss. When towel drying, be sure to blot where possible. Avoid rubbing yourself with a towel, as this will rub the moisture right out of your skin.
Heated air may need humidifying, and radiators should be directed away from the skin. Wool and synthetic materials may also be a cause of increased irritation. But above all try and drink at least eight glasses of water each day. Water hydrates the skin and flushes out toxins.
If you have tried all these techniques and are still fighting an incurable dry skin condition, seek professional help. Dry skin may cause itching and be a precursor to skin conditions such as dermatitis and eczema.
