Brilio.net - Lack of water content on the face is one of the factors causing dry skin. Reduced water content (dehydration) occurs when the skin loses its natural moisture and cannot retain sufficient water content. When there is a lack of water or not getting enough fluid intake, the body will prioritize vital organs to get water first. This process causes the skin, which is the outermost organ of the body, to often become dehydrated.
Please note, the skin has a protective layer called the stratum corneum. This layer functions as a useful barrier to prevent moisture from entering the skin. However, when the skin lacks water, this layer will experience disruption. This causes the moisture in the skin to evaporate more quickly and cause dryness.
This condition certainly occurs because it is influenced by several factors. One of the most frequent causes is environmental factors, such as dry weather, exposure to sunlight, polluted air, and room heaters which can also cause the skin to lose moisture.
Not only does it come from environmental factors, dry skin can also occur due to the use of unsuitable products. Using skin care products that contain chemicals or alcohol tends to irritate the skin and cause dryness.
To re-moisturize dry skin on your face, you need extra care. Starting from using skincare products to balancing it by applying masks made from natural ingredients. Like using honey which is known to hydrate the skin naturally. But besides honey, you can also use other natural ingredients. This method of moisturizing facial skin is done by YouTube user @beautifulyou_tips.
In uploading a video on his YouTube channel, he uses one type of leaf, namely spearmint. These ingredients are combined with ice cubes, yoghurt and gram flour. Each of these ingredients certainly has effective benefits for treating dry skin.
Spearmint leaves are a herbal plant known for its fresh aroma and sweet taste. Apart from being used in cooking and drinks, spearmint leaves also have a number of benefits for skin health, including for dry skin. Spearmint leaves contain natural anti-inflammatory compounds that can help relieve inflammation in dry skin. Its anti-inflammatory properties also help reduce redness, irritation, and discomfort associated with dry skin. Spearmint leaf extract has natural cleansing properties that help gently cleanse skin pores. By effectively cleansing the skin, spearmint leaves help remove dirt and excess oil.

Meanwhile, the presence of ice cubes in this mask helps shrink pores and tighten the skin. Not only that, the cold effect of ice cubes can relieve inflammation on dry skin, especially when it is irritated.
The next ingredient, namely yogurt, contains lactic acid which can help maintain skin moisture. The lactic acid content in yoghurt can also help remove dead skin cells, so the skin feels smoother and fresher.
