Dry skin Relief

 

Dry skin can be uncomfortable and unattractive. It has a low level of sebum and can be prone to sensitivity. The skin has a parched look caused by its inability to retain moisture. Symptoms of the dry skin vary depending on age, health / genetic condition, geographical location or time spent outdoors. They can be as follows:

 

• Skin has a rough and dry texture; 

• A loss of plumpness – skin appears shrunken or dehydrated;

• Skin is dull in appearance;

• After showering, bathing, or swimming the skin feels and looks tight;

• Peeling of the skin is quite common;

• Itchy feeling;

• Wrinkles in the skin become much more visible;

• Severe redness, inflamed areas, or tenderness in the skin;

• Cracks in skin or deep cuts.

Among the main causes for the dry skin are: 

• Not enough lubrication to the skin supplied by the oil glands. As a result, the skin becomes dehydrated;

• Poor diet. Nutritional deficiencies, especially deficiencies of vitamin A and the B vitamins, can contribute to dry skin;

• Environmental factors such as exposure to sun, wind, cold, chemicals, or cosmetics, or excessive bathing with harsh soaps.

 

Well, some dry skin is hereditary, some comes with aging, as natural skin oils diminish, and some can accompany medical conditions such as asthma or thyroid disease. But daily skin care habits such as washing with harsh soaps, using sanitizing or harsh cleansing agents, and scrubbing can also cause or worsen dry skin.

 

Since many dry skin symptoms are due to external causes, they can be well deminished by external skin care treatment. Just making a few adjustments to your daily skin care routine can help. No matter what the cause, there are many things you can do to make dry skin smooth and supple:

 

• Skip long, hot showers. Hot water strips oils from the skin faster than warm water. Long showers or baths actually result in dried out skin; 

• Use a gentle cleanser or shower gel with moisturizer. Go for unscented, soap-free cleansers instead of harsh cleansers. Use nondetergent, neutral-pH products to cleanse your skin. A moisturizer increases the water content of the outer layers of the skin and gives it a soft, moist look. Dry skin needs plenty of thorough but gentle cleansing, regular stimulation with massage and generous quantities of oil and moisture. It also needs extra careful protection; 

• Avoid coming in contact with highly alkaline soaps and detergents like washing sodas and powders which contain highly alkaline and drying ingredients.
