The seasons when the skin is frequently affected by dehydration are winter and summer, which is why it is particularly important to take care of it during the mid-seasons.
Dry skin is a type of sensitive skin, lacking sebum and water. It appears visibly dry and dull. To the touch, it is inelastic, flaky, chapped, and rough.
Skin dryness appears on the face and other areas of the body: elbows, hands, legs, lips.
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF DRY SKIN AFTER SUMMER?
The causes of dry skin are numerous and diverse. Some examples are external factors that lead to a worsening of the skin:
- climatic conditions (UV rays, wind, cold);
- seasonal changes;
- aggressive products not suitable for the skin type;
- genetic predisposition;
- pharmacological treatments.
Another cause that contributes to dry skin is poor skin hydration.
HOW CAN DRY SKIN BE RESOLVED?
A fundamental remedy for dry skin is proper water intake in our body. In addition to hydrating the skin from within, it is also advisable to take care of it externally with delicate products that hydrate, soften, and protect against climatic changes and UV rays.
Having dry skin can be unsightly and bothersome because it appears flaky and red. To remedy the damage to the skin barrier, it is advisable to frequently use nourishing creams morning and evening, even before makeup as a base. Creams specifically designed for dry skin have strengthening properties for the skin barrier and formulations that hydrate and make the skin soft and elastic.
WHAT PRODUCTS SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO HYDRATE YOUR SKIN?
Always choose specific cosmetic and cleansing products for your skin type, so as not to aggravate skin dryness. Periodically carry out treatments suitable for dry skin, such as peelings and scrubs to remove dead cells.
We are not just talking about facial skin, but the body also has its importance, which is often subject to dry skin, especially in cold seasons due to low humidity in the air, and during summer seasons due to excessive exposure to UV rays and frequent dips in the sea or pool. To prevent dry skin in various areas of the body, apply plenty of cream all over the body and perform exfoliating treatments.
