Brilio.net - Apart from oily skin which is prone to acne, a skin problem that most people often experience is dry facial skin. Apart from being rough when touched, dry skin makes the face dull. Even if left alone, the skin will be susceptible to peeling, scaly, and premature aging.
The main cause of dry facial skin is a reduction in natural oils in the skin whose function is to hydrate. Genetic factors, using harsh cleansers, weather changes, fasting, and exfoliating too often are also reasons why someone has super dry facial skin .
This condition causes the skin to sag and show fine lines. Very dry skin is usually accompanied by other symptoms, such as sensitive skin, loss of its natural glow, and irritation or itching. To overcome this, the skin needs nutrition which can be obtained from moisturizer.
Apart from that, dry skin types also need more hydration, food and moisture than normal or oily skin. That is why super dry skin conditions need to be treated, so that it is not only smooth and radiant, but also supple and youthful.
You can care for very dry facial skin by having treatment at a beauty clinic, regularly using skincare that is formulated for dry skin or has high moisturizing content, and using natural ingredients .
