Super dry skin on our face is a bane. Everybody likes smooth and glowing facial skins. Like it or not, thanks to Mother Nature.
But wait. Mother Nature is not entirely blamable for such skin condition. We are equally guilty too.
All right. Let us settle this one. We are born with varying skin types. Some have oily skin, while others have dry skin. Oily skins are known to easily develop pimples and clogged pores. In worse cases, they develop acne because of super active sebaceous glands. Dry skins, on the other hand, are more prone to developing wrinkles prematurely. This is because they contain less moisture which is essential for keeping the skin layer lubricated.
Super dry skin
Super dry skin on your face is a result of substantial reduction of moisture on the skin layers. Aside from genetics and hormonal imbalances, our lifestyle significantly contributes to this kind of skin condition. It may be due to our lack of regular exercise, insufficient fluid intake, smoking, heavy load of caffeine, and utter neglect of the facial skin. Of course, there are also environmental factors that largely contribute to this. Extremely cold and hot weather also cause super dry skin on the face.
If you do a little homework and diligent research, we realize that there are plenty of inexpensive and equally effective ways of treating super dry skin. If you are serious in getting rid of the super dry condition of the skin on your face, maybe you need to give a little attention to what I am going to tell you here.
Keep your skin moist
First, you need to keep your face always moist. In very cold winters or very hot and dry summers, you can use all natural skin moisturizers. I say all natural because there are plenty of moisturizing creams in the market that cause many side effects. Harmful chemicals may result to irritation and severe redness on the skin. If you have overly sensitive skin type, then you really have to buy one which is specially formulated for sensitive skin. If you are not sure what skin type you have, you need to buy still the same moisturizer.
Second, make sure you take lots of fluid, even during cold weathers. The body uses a lot of water to maintain proper functioning of the various cells and tissues. It also uses fluid to keep balanced body temperature. Water lubricates the skin. Your skin is one of the earliest victims of low water intake.
Hygiene
Third, keep your skin clean. Remember, however, never to use any soap when washing your face. The skin on your face is one of the most sensitive parts of the outer body. And many soaps readily available anywhere contain chemicals and synthetic compounds that may harm the natural environment of the skin. Harsh soaps are also responsible for the wrongful elimination of essential nutrients and lubricating oil on the skin. Experts highly recommend the use of very gentle and mild facial cleansers or bath gels that are naturally enriched with moisture.
Finally, you need to rethink your lifestyle. Get rid of those bad habits and vices. Do not smoke. Smoking will further dry your skin, aside from its carcinogenic effects on the body. Stop drinking soda and caffeine. Get plenty of rest and always protect yourself from extended exposures to direct sunlight.
You need to take care of your face. It is the most easily recognizable part of your body. A smooth, clean and glowing face leads to higher levels of self confidence and esteem. If you are really serious in doing this, then do it now. If not now, then when? Only when you act now that you will have greater prospect of getting rid of your super dry skin on your face.
