Brilio.net - Dry skin is one of several skin types that is generally grouped by many medical experts apart from oily, combination and normal. As the name suggests, dry skin is a type of skin with minimal moisture levels. Usually, people with this type of skin will feel pulling effects, redness, and even irritation. This will clearly make those who experience it feel uncomfortable.
The main trigger for a quickly dry face is dehydration , aka lack of fluids in the body. This is because a dehydrated body will lack fluid capacity so it will not be able to supply the skin with the necessary moisture. Meanwhile, external factors such as exposure to sunlight and cold temperatures can make the air dry, ending up drawing natural moisture and water from the skin quickly.
If not treated properly, dry skin conditions can give rise to many other problems, such as disruption of the skin regeneration process. This is because the skin's ability to maintain skin elasticity through collagen production will also decrease if skin moisture decreases. In the process, the skin will change from being soft to feeling rough and dull, so it will look bad in the eyes of many people.
Dry skin problems can also be an obstacle to achieving healthy skin. The reason is, skin moisture is an important factor in keeping the skin's natural protective layer (skin barrier) working well. By maintaining the skin's moisture level, the skin barrier will also become stronger so that it more effectively protects against the dangers of external exposure and can give a "glowing-from-within" impression.
For those of you who experience the problem above, no need to worry. The thing is, you can overcome a quickly dry face so that it becomes supple and glowing by utilizing the properties of natural ingredients.
This is as reported by briliobeauty.net from the Instagram account @nikitadixit_ on Tuesday (13/2), which uses orange peel together with honey as an alternative solution.

Yes, just like the flesh of the fruit, orange peel is rich in ingredients such as vitamin C (in the form of ascorbic acid) and citric acid. Reporting from the Be Beautiful page, the vitamin C component contained in orange peel plays an important role in helping stimulate collagen production in the skin. In the process, this will make dry skin feel more moisturized and smoother.
Meanwhile, the antioxidant content in orange peel helps protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals and sunlight which can accelerate damage to skin conditions. Plus, citric acid is also an effective ingredient as a natural exfoliator, so it is effective in reducing the appearance of dry skin that tends to be rough and stimulates better skin regeneration.
