Dry skin is characterized by small fine lines in the skin, roughness and the feeling of tight skin. There may be several reasons why you have dry skin. One may be that you do not get rid of dead skin cells so moisture can’t get into the living skin cells.
Avoid bathtub
A long hot bath is very bad for dry skin. Take short baths and try to avoid using a bathtub. You could be tempted to believe that dry skin just needs plenty of water. In the short term it is good but in the longer term the water will just evaporate and leave your skin even drier. Facial Spray is good for dry skin, but it requires you to remember to use cream, lotion or oil, morning and evening, plus extra if you stay in the sun.
How to treat dry skin
An American professor found out through studies of dry skin that a combination of fat and water helps. He found out that the dry skin was soft when it lay in water, but it was tough when it came out of the water. By putting the skin in oil it became a little soft and it hardened when taken out. But by putter the skin in water and then in oil, the skin remained soft over a longer period. This study shows that it is important to use grease to keep moisture inside. So remember to always use cream, lotion or oil on damp skin.
Choose your moisturizer cream carefully
To create the effect of water and grease the moisturizer was invented, which is a mixture of fat and water. However, some studies have shown that some moisturizers dissolve the outer layer of skin and the natural oil in the skin thereby leaving the skin even drier.
Oil and Vaseline is the best to keep skin moist, it keep the water from evaporating without dissolving the outer layer of skin. Remember to dub the skin dry after using oil or Vaseline. Don’t dry it by rubbing it.
Cream is the third most effective remedy for dry skin. There are numerous creams on the market some fatter than others. The fattest is sold as a night cream, daily facial lotions often contain other substances such as AHA acids (anti-wrinkle cream), which acts firming. Fat percentage in these creams is therefore smaller.
When you have dry skin, it is good to use night cream. Night cream is good, since the fat content is high, and you don’t have to worry about looking greasy.
Last in the line of fat-containing products are lotions. Lotions are creams, which are rich in water.
