Care for dry skin.

If the skin tends to feel stiff, it is fair bet you have got a dry skin texture. This is caused by too little sebum in the lower levels of the skin, and dryness in the upper levels. At its best, it can feel tight and itchy after washing. At its worst it can be flaky, with little patches of dandruff in your eyebrows, and a tendency to premature ageing with the emergence of fine line and wrinkles. It requires a regular habit of soothing care to keep it looking its best.

Care for dry skin

The state of dry skin can be aggravated by over use of soap, detergents and toners. It can also be adversely affected by exposure to hot sun, cold winds and central heating. For these reasons it is prudent to opt for a gentle, nourishing approach that concentrates on boosting the skin’s moisture levels. This will plump out fine lines and keep the skin soft and elastic.

As a preventative measure, try to avoid too much exposure to hot sun, to cold winds and try not to use any central heating if you can, this will help the skin from not drying.
