6 main rules for dry skin care

1. Make a “cosmetic diet” based on the basic needs of dry skin

And this is, first of all, nutrition and strengthening the hydrolipidic barrier. The sebaceous glands of dry skin work inactive (and with age their activity slows down even more!), Respectively, the lack of skin's own lipids must be constantly filled with creams. If in heat the owners of all other skin types feel most comfortable using cosmetics gel textures, then dry skin, even in the hot season, are usually more suitable cream, in extreme cases, gel-cream products. Cosmetic products with a high content of vegetable oils, lipids (primarily ceramides, phospholipids, triglycerides), nicotinamide (aka nicotinic acid, or vitamin B3) and other components that stimulate the synthesis of proteins and skin in the skin will help maintain the skin's protective barrier. own ceramides - a kind of cementing substances that ensure the strength of its stratum corneum. And it is very thin in dry skin.

2. Pay special attention to skin protection.

We all remember that dry skin requires the most thorough protection in winter, because due to a lack of lipids and a thin horny layer of the epidermis, it is especially vulnerable to cold and wind. However, the fact that for the same reasons in the summer she needs especially careful protection from ultraviolet radiation is very often forgotten. Meanwhile, its antioxidant ability is much lower than that of normal, combined and, especially, oily: in the skin sebum there are fatty acids and other components that protect the skin from free radicals, and dry skin is practically devoid of it. So a cream with high SPF from May to September is required!

3. Use mild cleansers

In order not to break the already thin and weak protective barrier of dry skin, avoid washing with too hot water and cleaning the skin too often - often twice a day, using aggressive cleansers. If the skin is also sensitive, it is better to abandon the gels for washing on the basis of sodium lauryl and laureth sulfates of sodium (sodium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate in favor of products with milder cleansing components, for example, miret sodium sulfate (sodium lauryl sulfate), cocamidopropyl betaine ( cocamidopropyl betaine) or soft surfactants, which are obtained from saponified fatty acids of natural oils - cocoa, coconut, etc. With very sensitive dry skin that reacts with irritation to tap water, the solution may be to use micellar water or cleansing milk. , the main thing is that there is no alcohol in the tonic!

4. Do not overdo it with moisture.

Despite the fact that proper dry skin care implies the mandatory use of moisturizers, as numerous studies have shown, the moisture content in dry (but not dehydrated!) Skin is not less than in normal or oily. And too frequent use of moisturizers can lead to a weakening of its ability to self-moisturize and retain moisture. If already 20-30 minutes after application an unpleasant sensation of dryness and tightness of the skin appears, the skin “asks” for hydration again - most likely, the cause is a broken hydrolipidic barrier. In this case, pay attention to the composition of moisturizers. Look for ingredients such as ceramides, triglycerides of fatty acids, amino acids, lactic acid, proteins of yogurt or milk in the list of ingredients: they not only retain moisture in the skin, but also help restore its moisture-retaining functions.

5. Do not forget about deep skin cleansing procedures

Dry skin, like any other, needs exfoliation and cleansing masks. But since it is more subtle and delicate, do not overdo it with them and choose cream or oil based products. Enzymatic peeling and masks with fruit acids, especially with lactic and almond, are a good option for dry skin care: these AHAs have a very mild effect and at the same time have good moisturizing properties. But glycolic and salicylic acids are often too harsh for dry skin.

6. Nourish dry skin from the inside out

An ideal diet for the beauty of dry skin must contain foods rich in vitamins A and E, as well as omega acids - liver, nuts, legumes, vegetable oils, fish oil or fish of fatty varieties.

Proper care of the skin of the face and body is very difficult - especially during pregnancy. But the result of their own efforts will delight any woman.

Dry skin type is quite common and requires particularly skillful and attentive care, as such skin is very sensitive to adverse effects and quickly aging. Dryness occurs due to insufficient activity of the sebaceous glands and increased evaporation of moisture from the surface of the skin. In young women, dry skin has a pleasant appearance: delicate, thin, smooth, matte. Subsequently, especially with insufficient nutrition or improper care, it becomes drier, peels, loses elasticity. It is worth noting that wrinkles appear on dry skin quite early.

As a rule, dry skin is thin, light pink in color, does not tolerate soap and water, often peels and is sensitive to external influences. Dry skin can be either congenital or acquired, for example, as a result of poor care, improper washing, improperly selected creams, prolonged use of exfoliating preparations (peels, creams to remove freckles). As a result of the above procedures, the skin produces little natural fat, sweating is reduced, so the fat is poorly distributed on the skin. The outer layer of the skin that is not protected by fat easily loses moisture due to evaporation. The dry layer of skin exfoliates, and the new one again remains unprotected from moisture loss. In winter, dry skin is usually more noticeable than in summer.

Hypovitaminosis, diseases of the nervous system, work in hot ovens, prolonged exposure to the sun, and the use of soap can contribute to dry skin. Dry skin undergoes age-related changes much faster, more sensitive to mechanical, thermal, chemical irritants.

Continuous dehydration is aggravated by the following negative factors: wind, cold, too dry / hot air, excessive sun bathsmoking and unhealthy lifestyle. Contact with lime, chlorinated water (for example, pool water), sea water, alcohol-containing lotions, highly alkaline soaps, potent peels, and a deficiency of vitamins A and B - all this has a very harmful effect on the skin.

1. Do not use preparations containing surfactants in high concentrations - gels and foams for washing. Their action destroys lipid structures in the epidermis. You only need to wash your face with special products for dry skin: milk with a high content of unsaturated fats and waxes, hydrophilic cleaners (hydrogenated sesame oil, hazelnut, avocado, etc.), makeup remover creams. First, rinse all preparations with water, then wipe your face with a tonic that matches the type of skin. Good effect on dry skin washing with a decoction of chamomile, peppermint, aloe, calendula, comfrey. You can wipe your face with a decoction of flaxseed or infusion of the marshmallow root. Infusions and decoctions are prepared simply: you need to pour a tablespoon of herbs with a glass of boiling water and insist for 15 minutes.
2. Preparations containing petroleum products, such as petroleum jelly, ozokerite, ceresin, should be excluded: they will create a dense film on the skin surface that interferes with the restoration of the natural barrier. Such products can harm even owners of healthy skin.
3. Means for deep skin cleansing should be as delicate as possible. If you use a scrub, it should be with soft granules (for example, jojoba). Film masks and masks containing a high concentration of fruit acids are excluded: fruit acids will dry your face even more and increase its irritability, reduce skin protective barriers, and film masks stretched skin.
4. An important skin care measure is the restoration of the lipid barrier. This can be done with drugs containing ceramides, cholesterol and free unsaturated fatty acids. The main task that dry skin poses before cosmetics is to restore lipid metabolism and protect the skin from damaging environmental factors.

What type of skin are you?
Depending on the amount of fat secretion secreted by the sebaceous glands, normal, dry and combination skin are distinguished. Your skin type can be determined independently at home with the help of simple tests.

• Method 1 Press firmly on your face with your fingers. If the track does not disappear for a long time, this means that you have dry and inelastic skin. If the trace on the skin does not appear at all, you are probably the owner of oily skin (it is more elastic); if, when you click on the skin in some areas, the trace remains, and in some there isn’t, you have it.
• Method 2 Touch a clean mirror, napkin, tissue paper to your nose, forehead, and cheeks. If there is a greasy mark in all areas on the mirror and paper, the skin is oily. If there are no traces left - dry. If on one site the trace is noticeable, but on the other - not, this means that the skin is combination.
• Method 3 Draw a line from the forehead to the chin with an unfinished pencil. If the pencil leaves a mark, it means you have sensitive skin.

Cosmetics

Makeup remover milk or cream. Instead of milk, you can use special cleaners from hydrophilic oilsthat remove makeup well and do not dry the skin. You can use gels for sensitive skin containing extracts of algae, azulene, bisabolol, ecoteric oil, evening primrose, currant, etc.

Alcohol free tonic. It usually consists of proteins of silk, wheat, vitamins, extracts of wheat germ and algae, collagen (usually marine).

Collagen and Elastin Creams useful for very dry skin or for severely damaged normal skin: they restore its tone, smooth wrinkles. Collagen must be stabilized, secured in the body. This requires pictogenol or grape seed extract, brown seaweed, sea kale, which also help maintain skin tone. Lecithin promotes the release and distribution of fatty acids on the surface of the skin. The composition of the cream can be found in the annotation or on the cream label.

Day cream - base for decorative makeup. It should be a soft emulsion that is quickly absorbed into the skin and creates a protective film on its surface. It includes humidifiers ( hyaluronic acid, sorbitol, milk proteins), vitamins, antioxidants, extracts of oats, wheat, honey, etc.

Night cream - traditional fatty nourishing cream. Semi-synthetic fat compositions containing vegetable oils, essential fatty acids, ceramides are preferred. In addition, the composition of creams often includes extracts of algae, aloe, substances that improve the immune processes, whey proteins, vitamins A and E, the cream is applied 1-2 hours before bedtime in a dense layer, 10 minutes after it is applied, blot the skin with a napkin .

Masks. It is better to alternate nourishing and tonic masks. The concentration of fats in a nutritious mask is high, it has a dense texture, it can be used as an emergency aid, but at least 2 times a week. Toning masks contain algae, trace elements, guarana extract, gingko bilobo and other substances. Such masks not only improve skin tone, but also strengthen and protect it.

Toning face masks can be applied 2-3 times a week, alternately with a nourishing mask. In the hot season, instead of a greasy nutritious night cream, you can use lighter, cooling means - for example, wipe the skin with ice cubes from a decoction of herbs. They relieve stress and soothe your skin.

The mask is kept on the face for 15-20 minutes, after which the face is washed with warm water, then with cold boiled water, slightly dried with a towel and smeared with a nourishing cream. This procedure is preferably carried out 2 times a week. You should remember about possible allergic reactions to various components of the mask, therefore, when making the mask for the first time, you should make sure that there is no allergy. To do this, on a small area of \u200b\u200bthe skin, preferably behind the ear, you need to put a little composition that you are going to apply to the skin as a mask. After 15 minutes, rinse it with boiled water. Hypersensitivity can occur immediately, in the form of redness or intense burning, or after some time. Therefore, after the test, wait 24 hours.

When applying the mask, remember the rule: the mask is applied only to healthy, intact skin.

Masks for dry skin

• Moisturizing mask: Grind 1 teaspoon of fresh cottage cheese with 1 teaspoon of fresh cream and 1 teaspoon of carrot juice.
• Yolk mask: mix 1 yolk with 1/2 teaspoon olive oilby adding 5 drops of lemon juice.
• Cucumber mask: Mix 2 teaspoons of crushed pulp of cucumber with 1 teaspoon of fresh milk.
• Honey mask: 1 teaspoon of honey, grind to white, adding a little fresh milk.
• Fruit Masks: strawberries, raspberries, apricots, peaches are ground into gruel with the addition of a small amount of milk.

Consider season

In the summer, you can use scrubs, enzyme creams (they stimulate cell renewal, prevent skin aging and restore a healthy complexion) to cleanse, they accelerate the process of renewal of skin cells, even out its relief. In summer, you should not forget about the regular use of sunscreens.

Winter is a time for revising skin care habits. Three summer principles: cleansing, protection, moisturizing (using moisturizers) - in the cold season, you need to replace with more intensive care: cleansing, protection, nutrition (use nourishing creams and masks).

All creams should be applied to the face at least half an hour before reaching fresh air - otherwise the skin will become too cold. After applying the cream, be sure to pat the skin with a napkin. But you need to wash your face no later than an hour before going out.

Vitamins for your skin
Vitamin A, a complex of B vitamins and an increased dose of vitamin B12 are suitable for reducing stressful effects and slowing down the aging process. Vitamin C and bioflavonoids found in fruits and vegetables are needed to strengthen capillaries and collagen formation. Vitamin E should be applied topically in creams and masks to protect against free radicals and reduce wrinkle formation.

Dry Home Express Care Program

Such a program can be used periodically - once a month.

Start by removing daytime makeup. Rub into the skin nutrients, collagen, elastin, vitamin (they are sold in ampoules in any perfume store). Then apply a light nutritious cream with liposomes (liposomes provide a quick transfer of biologically active substances into the deeper layers of the skin and fiber).

During the appearance of irritations and peeling, it is necessary to apply emollient creams containing vitamin A.

In addition to this short-term program, there are more extensive dry skin care courses, which are usually held in beauty salons.
