To begin with, let’s figure out what dry skin is, what kind of care it needs and how to choose the right cream for this type of skin.
Everyone knows that there are four types of skin – oily, normal, combination and dry. The most vulnerable of them is the dry type. With improper care, people with dry skin feel constant discomfort, and, given that the body lacks moisture, the skin ages faster.
This type of skin needs to constantly replenish the lack of fluid, both internally and externally. Internally, this is understandable, all cosmetologists say that a person needs to drink at least two liters of plain, filtered water per day. External moisturizing helps to create a specially selected cream. It is about him and will be discussed.
There are two types of creams, manufactured and made to order, the so-called hand-made. What is the difference? Which is better? And how to choose? We will tell now. In production creams, in addition to natural ingredients, there are so-called stabilizers, thanks to them – the cream does not need to be stored in the refrigerator and it will last you at least six months. It is convenient to use and, in principle, economically beneficial.
A cream prepared individually according to your order, only from natural products, will serve you for a maximum of several months, it is not desirable to get direct sunlight on it, but the best storage is in the refrigerator, or simply in a cool or dry place. It is up to you to decide which one to choose, the only condition is that the cream be in a tube, and not in a jar, so you will avoid getting various microorganisms and spoiling the product.
Now the desired composition of the cream for dry skin. Look for rose water on your cherished tube, it prevents moisture loss. The absence of alcohol will help to avoid unnecessary irritation. Your label should contain the presence of lanolin, glycerin or beeswax, especially in the summer when moisture loss from the body increases. These components will create the necessary conditions for protecting your skin from wind, sun and other external factors. Vitamins A and E or their derivatives in the form of palmitate and acetate will not interfere either. This is especially useful, not just for dry, but also for aging skin.
Collagen and elastin will help maintain firmness and elasticity. The composition of the cream should include extracts of chamomile, wormwood and oats. Various oils will help keep the skin in good shape, such as coconut, almond or rosehip oil. In order for the cream to have the desired effect, the skin must be properly cleansed. For dry skin, these should be gentle gommages and mild tonic emulsifiers.
It is highly recommended to use avocado oil to remove makeup in winter, but do not forget that applying oil to the skin should be washed off with plenty of water. When choosing a cream, read the composition and if something is not clear to you, ask the Internet for help, it will give you all the necessary information on the components you do not understand.
There are several secrets for using creams, especially they will help people with dry skin. Do not apply the cream immediately before going outside, it is better to wait 30-40 minutes. You can wash your face, apply face cream, have breakfast, and then run about. After applying the cream and starting to sleep, an hour should pass, and preferably two, so you can remove excess cream with a napkin and avoid a film on your face. It prevents the skin from breathing.
Remember dry facial skin ages faster than any other skin type. And only proper care for it will help to avoid this and keep youth and freshness for a long time.
