How does dry skin develop on the face?
Dry skin usually occurs when our skin barrier is disrupted. The outermost layer of skin is porous and loses moisture. If the skin barrier and thus the hydrolipid film is damaged, lipids can no longer be stored as effectively. The skin no longer appears as plump and elastic. Due to the lack of lipids, it also increasingly loses moisture.
But what is responsible for dry skin on the face?
- Heat, cold, dry heating air, air conditioning: These external influences can weaken the skin barrier and lead to increased moisture loss.
- UV radiation, pollution: Both can generate free radicals and thus oxidative stress. This can damage skin cells.
- Cosmetics: Incorrect care can lead to dry skin in some cases.
- Alcohol, cigarettes: Avoid these indulgences as much as possible! They create free radicals that can damage (skin) cells.
- Nutrition: Caffeine or too much salt dehydrate the body and can lead to dry skin.
- Stress or psychological burdens: They are also among the causes of dry skin.
- Genetic predisposition: Dry patches on the face can also be genetically determined.
- Medications: Cortisone, blood pressure and cholesterol-lowering medications, as well as anti-inflammatory drugs can promote dry skin.
- Age: With increasing age, it is natural for the skin to become thinner. It produces less fat and retains moisture less effectively.
With a healthy lifestyle, stress reduction, and avoiding UV radiation, you can significantly influence your skin appearance. However, dry skin always requires a little more attention.
What to do for flaky dry skin?
No matter what causes are at play – your skin now needs intensive care. The daily, but gentle cleansing is a must to remove pollutants, dirt, and makeup residues. After that, it’s time for correction. Products with hyaluronic acid and natural oils are optimal for retaining moisture inside. Without fats, the skin cannot bind moisture.
The natural, skin-identical fats protect against drying out without weighing them down. High-quality ingredients nourish and strengthen the skin barrier through vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Itching, tightness, redness, flaking, and cracks disappear, and the skin calms down.
What skincare is optimal for dry and flaky skin?
SKINUANCE® is a care line specifically suitable for dry skin. With the following beauty routine, you can optimally care for your dry and sensitive skin.
- In the evening, our FRUIT ACID CREAM acts as a magical skin refinisher. The gentle fruit acid cream helps to remove dead skin cells. It gently exfoliates and is the optimal preparation for the subsequent care. At the same time, it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, leading to a strong anti-aging effect.
- HYALURONIC INFUSION SERUM: Apply the serum morning and evening after cleansing! The skin-identical hyaluronic acids with different molecular weights penetrate to the deepest layers of the skin. The skin is supplied with moisture, visibly smooths out, and is plumped up. Rough, flaky skin feels relaxed. At the same time, the HYALURONIC INFUSION SERUM balances the skin tone and age spots.
- The 2-phase 3-IN-1 ANTI-AGING FACE OIL from SKINUANCE® cares for dry facial skin with natural squalane, argan, jojoba, and sunflower seed oil, leaving it wonderfully smooth. The oil absorbs very well and leaves a wonderfully soft skin feel. For dry, rough, or cracked facial skin, you can happily use the oil over the serum. The layering combines all the benefits of both products – your skin regenerates and looks radiantly beautiful.
