Why does the skin on the face become dry?
The skin has different needs. These change not only naturally over the course of a lifetime. For women, the skin's needs often even change cyclically within a single month.
When the skin reacts, not only internal factors but also environmental influences play a significant role. Here are the most common causes of dry skin:
Possible cause of dry skin: Season
Especially in winter, dry heating air combined with icy temperatures can particularly stress the skin. The low humidity further increases the moisture loss of the skin. But wind, UV radiation, and extreme heat can also impair the natural skin barrier. The skin loses moisture and dries out.
Excessive or incorrect hygiene
Frequent bathing or showering removes the protective hydrolipid film of the skin. If aggressive cleaning agents are added, this can further dry out the skin.
Prefer to use pH-neutral soaps and products or those that support your skin's pH value.
Increasingly drier skin with age
As we age, the skin no longer regenerates as quickly. It produces less sebum and thus less protective fats.
Additionally, collagen synthesis decreases with age. During the menopause, the skin becomes overall thinner due to the declining estrogen levels. As a result, it can no longer retain as much moisture internally. It appears saggy and pale, and lines and wrinkles form.
Unfavorable lifestyle also contributes to dry skin
An unhealthy diet, smoking, regular alcohol consumption, and little exercise can also be responsible for dry skin. Metabolic disorders, medications, or occupational stress, such as in caregiving professions with many disinfectants, also promote dry skin.
Dry skin – What to do?
Dry skin requires special attention. In addition to adequate nutrient supply through a balanced diet, skin care is of particular importance. Besides suitable care, the following tips can help you keep your skin from drying out and ensure a soft and smooth skin:
- Room air: Ensure sufficient humidity in the rooms by regularly airing out, even in winter.
- Hot water: Avoid hot water when bathing, showering, or caring for your face. Lukewarm water is better for sensitive skin.
- Drinking: To keep you and your skin hydrated, you should drink at least 1.5 to 2 liters of water throughout the day.
- Sun protection: To protect it from UV damage, apply a high sun protection factor to your skin even in winter.
