A low sebum secretion is to blame for dry skin. Sensitivity and a dull look often accompany dryness, together with the formation of some tiny expression lines in the corner of the eyes and around the mouth. Dry skin has a poor capacity to remain moist, it gives one the feeling of too tight on the bones, and it is most of the time described as dehydrated. The most important factors that accelerate skin dryness and make the skin flake and chap are atmospheric conditions.

You should use a different moisturizer for dry skin depending on the cold or warm season. In winter, the high temperature variations impose the use of greasy creams and body lotions that preserve the tissues soft and moist. In summertime, you should switch to a product that hydrates the skin without leaving it greasy. Moreover, there are two types of moisturizer for dry skin to be used on the same day: one for daytime and the other for nighttime. One major distinction here comes from the fact that the daytime moisturizer will normally contain a sun protection factor.

Another way of supporting a dry skin treatment is to avoid all skin contact with chemical detergents, cleansers or other synthetic compounds with an irritative action. Moreover, the standard soap you may use could contribute to deteriorating the condition of the skin, therefore, a product with a neutral pH could be the only option favorable to your health. One cannot speak of the extent of a dry skin treatment when the skin structure is determined by genetic factors; under the circumstances, you should use good moisturizers permanently, adjusting the product to the season and the day-night cycle.

Skin Products

Soaps are the enemies of dry face skin; yet we can’t say any better about certain cleansers. Try to select the skincare items from a well-reputed brand so that the moisturizing promise they make becomes true. 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!
