Why do I have dry skin?
Dry skin is caused by a number of factors. However, using skincare products appropriate to your skin type and your circumstance can be beneficial to maintaining your skin's health and limiting long-term damage.
Does Hard Water cause Dry Skin?
Hard water limits the skin's natural ability to absorb some moisturisers. Using skincare high in Vitamin A and Vitamin C helps to neutralise the magnesium and calcium deposited on the skin. For face use: Silvan Skincare's Nourish Face Cream for Dry Skin. For body use: The Edinburgh Natural Skincare Co. Sweet Orange and Geranium Solid Bath Oils.
Does dry air cause Dry Skin?
Sometimes the air inside can be as punishing on your skin as the air outside. Protecting exposed skin is vital to limit immediate cracking and itching and prevent long-term damage. Some of the most sensitive body parts are your face, lips, and hands. We recommend the UpCircle Beauty Face Moisturiser with Vitamin E for your face.
We recommend Beauty Balm Cocoa Clementine Lip Balm to soothe and repair the lips and to limit chapping and cracking.
Winter and Dry Skin.
Dry skin occurs when skin doesn't retain sufficient moisture. Wintertime poses a special problem because the humidity is low outdoors and indoors. The result is roughness, flaking, itching, cracking, and sometimes a burning sensation. Fortunately, you can do many simple things to relieve dry winter skin. Bath oils can be helpful. Apply moisturiser immediately after bathing or after washing your hands. Use sunscreen in the Winter as well as the summer to prevent photoaging.
Problems with washing your hands too often?
Overwashing your hands and body can lead to redness and irritation, stripping away any natural oils that your body releases to keep your skin moisturised. Applying moisturisers after washing can help replenish these lost natural oils and help prevent dry hands and body. Look for thicker moisturisers such as the UpCircle Beauty Natural Body Cream or a solid hand cream bar like The Edinburgh Natural Skincare Co. Symmetry Hand Cream Bar.
Ageing and Dry Skin
The skin's natural ageing causes changes in its ability to replenish lost natural oil and repair scarring and long-term damage. Dry skin tends to become more of an issue as a person ages. Moisturising daily is essential to replenish the lost moisture and quickly repair the skin barrier. Beneficial moisturisers that contain ceramides and hyaluronic acid work the best. Goat's Milk boosts the skin's natural ceremide production. Goats of the Gorge Goats Milk Skin Cream for Face and Body helps to ease the signs of ageing skin and, further, to benefit from the overnight regeneration, using Hyaluronic acid night cream from UpCircle Beauty.
What can you do about dry skin?
Here are some practical ways to combat dry skin if practised consistently: apply moisturiser immediately after bathing or washing your hands. This helps plug the spaces between your skin cells and seal in moisture while your skin is still damp.
To reduce the greasy feel of thick creams, rub a small amount into your hands and then rub it over the affected areas until neither your hands nor the affected areas feel greasy.
Never, ever scratch. Most of the time, a moisturiser can control the itch.
Why do I have dry skin on my face?
Facial skin is thinner than the skin on our bodies; also, this skin is generally exposed to the elements more frequently, causing moisture loss. To reduce the effects of dry skin and prevent it, start with moisturising daily, use a gentle cleanser and wear an SPF-rated sunscreen. Also, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, limiting caffeine and reducing your time in direct sunlight.
