If you are at a loss to determine the type of your skin, you can visit a beautician. However, to determine the dry skin of the face at home is not at all difficult: until 23-25 years old it looks soft and smooth, it does not show pores. After 25-26, in the absence of proper care, slightly noticeable fine wrinkles begin to appear. From normal skin it is distinguished by a lack of natural shine: dry skin is matte and if you press it with your finger, the pressure trace remains for a long time. Even a young, dry skin easily begins to peel off and is often irritated.
Dry facial skin is very sensitive to adverse effects and quickly grows old, so it requires constant skill and care. Dry skin is not protected from the environment, its safety properties are weakened. Due to insufficient sebum secretion by the sebaceous glands, the protective film is fragile, and the water contained in it quickly evaporates. Worse hold moisture and skin cells. As a result, dry skin of the face suffers from a lack of fat and moisture, is degreased and dehydrated.
The causes of skin dryness are the following processes in the body: insufficient activity of the sebaceous glands and increased moisture evaporation from the skin surface.
Dry skin can develop depending on various external influences: weathering, the effects of sunlight, sudden temperature fluctuations. Taking sun baths, cover your face or pre-lubricate your skin with cream or oil.
In some cases, dry skin is caused by a hereditary predisposition. Dermatologists note that dry skin in young often indicates precisely the genetic feature, and in people of more mature age appears due to other internal or external factors.
Often the facial skin becomes due to any internal diseases, especially if they are accompanied by temperature.
The beneficial effect on dry skin is primarily the strengthening of the whole body, especially in young girls. In some cases, when skin dryness and peeling are caused by vitamin deficiency or vitamin A deficiency in the body, sebum can be increased by eating foods containing this vitamin: milk, butter, fish oil, egg yolk, liver, carrots, green onions, Salad, spinach, tomatoes, etc., as well as the use of vitamin A concentrate (10 drops 3 times a day for one month).
To restore the normal biological condition of the dry skin of the face you need: proper healthy diet, regular cosmetic procedures and daily facial skin care, which includes:
Cleaning the face,
Nutrition and hydration of the skin,
Protection of the skin from external factors.
With the help of the above, they recreate the protective fat and acid "mantle" of the skin and fight against its dehydration. Slowing the evaporation of water and adding a moisturizer. This, by the way, prevents the formation of wrinkles.
Since the physiological functions of the skin are carried out in different ways, depending on the age, season, meteorological factors, working and living conditions, nutrition, as well as the general condition of the body, skin care should also be differentiated. In the event that the dryness of the facial skin is associated with age-related changes, in addition to cosmetic preparations, it is also necessary to use means that compensate for the lack of moisture not only in the skin, but in the entire body.
Temperature fluctuations are very harmful to the skin, especially for dry skin. Therefore, when leaving home, do not forget about protective day creams.
Methods and means for skin care should be changed if irritation, inflammation or flaking of the skin is present. But even if the cosmetic products used are well suited to your skin, they also need to be changed from time to time, because they become less effective because of the habituation of the body. In a few months you can return to them.
Dry face skin is very useful nutritious, vitaminized and biocreams, which increase the elasticity of the skin, normalize the activity of the sebaceous glands, protect the skin from external stimuli, and increase its resistance.
Useful courses for hygienic massage (2-3 courses per year).
