Improper care, harsh climate or internal disruptions in the body make the skin dry and flabby. Cosmetic lotions will help to correct the situation and restore skin radiance. They will enrich it with moisture and protect against rapid wilting.
Causes of very dry skin.
The main cause of dry skin is a lack of sebaceous glands. Under the influence of adverse factors, they cease to produce fat - and the cells are left without the necessary protection and nutrition. There are many reasons for such changes. The main ones:
- Improper care. The use of funds that do not match the age and type of skin, as well as ignoring the special cosmetics, will inevitably affect the appearance.
- Rough cosmetic procedures. Frequent peels, scrubs and cleansing masks using coarse and aggressive ingredients will change the natural skin balance.
- Hard water. Chlorine and other impurities of chemical elements in tap water during daily hygiene procedures will “settle” on the skin, injuring it.
- Dry air. Hot summer and cold winter wind, as well as dry air in the apartment during the heating season lead to loss of moisture and provoke flaking. The same consequences result from excessive sunbathing and frequent visits to the solarium.
- Defective diet. Lack of vitamins and reduction of healthy fats during hard diets or when hobby for "unhealthy" products deprive the skin of natural nutrition.
- Water imbalance. Insufficient use of clean water and bad habits lead to dehydration of the body as a whole.
- Natural aging processes. They lead to changes in hormonal levels and affect the appearance.
- Diseases. Violation of certain internal organs, as well as skin infections worsen the condition of the skin.
In addition, allergies and other intoxications can provoke dryness of the face and body. As well as the use of decorative cosmetics beyond measure. Thick layers of tonal resources will lead to dehydration and clogging of the pores, resulting in wrinkles and a rash on the skin. Depending on the cause of dryness, a visit to the doctor or a change in lifestyle and attitude will help to correct the situation. However, proper care of the skin of the face and body will accelerate this process and will be the prevention of new problems.
What are lotions used for?
In addition to cleansing and nourishing, dry skin needs extra moisturizing, which is easy to achieve with the help of lotion. This basic cosmetic penetrates well into the pores and effectively eliminates a number of problems.
Useful components of the lotion help:
- saturate the skin with moisture;
- removal of residues of decorative cosmetics and detergent;
- cleansing of dead cells;
- skin regeneration;
- vascular hardening;
- relieve irritation.
In addition, the face lotion helps to prepare the pores for further exposure of the caring cream or applying a mask, and for the hands and body gently cares for the skin, leaving no greasy and sticky marks on it.
Rules of application
Regardless of the location of use, lotion should be applied only to cleansed skin twice a day. To get the best result, toilet soap at this stage is better to replace with a special gel, foam or milk. The rest of the application technique looks like this:
1. Put a small amount of lotion at room temperature on the cosmetic disc and rub them into the face or body with massage movements. In the area around the eyes, as well as other "gentle" places and mucous means should not be applied.
2. If there are traces of contamination on the sponge, change it to a new one and repeat the previous step.
3. The tool should be completely absorbed, leaving no marks on the skin. In case of their appearance, blot the remnants with a dry cloth. Rinse with water or cosmetic fluids is not necessary.
4. After this, apply a caring cream.
Sometimes use cream is optional. If the skin remains moist, without a feeling of “tightness,” and there is no need to create a protective layer, basic care can be completed on applying lotion.
It is very important not to disrupt the sequence of use of cosmetics. As each of them performs its function, preparing the skin for the next stage. However, self-application of lotion is sometimes allowed if the skin requires “quick” help, and there is no time at all for the full procedure of cleansing and nourishing. For example, after contact with street dust during a strong wind.
How to choose a lotion for dry skin
Modern cosmetic industry offers a large selection of ready-made lotions for dry skin. They can be found in specialized departments or stores. The cost of funds varies and largely depends on the reputation of the manufacturer.
But, contrary to popular belief, to focus only on the price of the product is not worth it. Even among the budget brands you can pick up a high-quality lotion, if it contains suitable components. The proper dry skin lotion should include:
- Vitamins. They promote cell regeneration, improve metabolic processes and help remove toxins. It depends on them whether the skin will look young, how long it will retain its elasticity. It is best to cope with these tasks vitamins A, B, C and E.
- Hyaluronic acid. This component quickly moisturizes the skin and promotes the production of collagen.
- Fruit acids. Stimulate blood circulation and soften keratinized cells. Of all the varieties in the lotion will be useful amber and apple.
- Natural oil. Its polyunsaturated acids penetrate into the deep layers of the skin and nourish the cells from the inside. Other beneficial ingredients help retain moisture and promote the absorption of vitamins. In the composition of the cosmetic can be listed as vegetable and essential oils.
- Hoods or decoctions of plants. These components will complement the lotion with its moisturizing and anti-inflammatory benefits. Traditionally used chamomile, aloe, cucumber and parsley.
When choosing a lotion for dry skin, you need to focus on its shelf life. Funds based on natural ingredients can not be stored for years. In addition, if vitamins are included in the product, it should be packaged in small sealed capsules designed for one use, or in a bottle with a dispenser. This is due to the fact that the useful components are instantly oxidized, so they should not often come into contact with air.
Lotions, which include ethyl alcohol, dyes, preservatives, parabens, or other "harmful" chemicals, dry skin should be avoided.
