Dry Skin

What is Dry Skin and what causes it?

Dry skin is characterised by low natural oil production by the sebaceous glands, which makes it more vulnerable to dryness. This condition can affect both the face and body and can have intrinsic causes, such as genetic and hormonal factors, or extrinsic ones, such as:

• Exposure to cold, wind or extreme heat;
• Excessive use of hot water in baths;
• Sun exposure without adequate protection;
• Medications that affect oil production;
• Low water intake;
• Use of unsuitable cosmetics.

How to identify Dry Skin?

If your skin exhibits the following characteristics, it may be classified as dry or dehydrated:

• Tightness;
• Rough texture;
• Flaking, itching and redness;
• Tendency to sensitivities and irritations;
• Barely visible pores and whitish appearance.

These signs indicate the need for special care and the adoption of a specific routine to moisturise and protect the skin.

Essential care for Dry Skin

1. Gentle Cleansing

Cleansing dry skin should be done with gentle products that do not remove the skin's natural protective barrier. Avoid products that contain alcohol or harsh ingredients.

2. Intense Hydration

Moisturisers rich in ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, shea butter and vitamin C are indispensable allies for retaining moisture and restoring skin softness.

3. Sun Protection

Dry skin is also prone to premature ageing and sun damage. Always use a high SPF sunscreen formulated for sensitive skin.
