BEST SKINCARE TIPS FOR DRY SKIN

Having a tight and flaky skin when you so much crave for a comfortable, moisturized and radiant complexion can be frustrating. When your skin can’t protect itself from the environment, you tend to have dry skin that develops small cracks making it hard to retain moisture appropriately.

Why does this occur?

Dry skin can be as a result of many factors, but the common ones are:

  • Living in a dry climate
  • Skin contact with chlorine-treated water
  • Climate change
  • Exposure to excess sun
  • Not drinking enough water

What Are the Symptoms?

You will know you have dry skin when you notice the following on your skin:

  • A tight feeling 
  • Flaking 
  • A grayish skin if you have a dark complexion 
  • Rough skin
  • Sometimes bleeding
  • Soreness

Dry skin complications are prevented by having a skincare routine that will enable your skin to hold moisture. Below are dry skincare tips to be practiced in the morning and the evening: 


Morning Skin Care Tips for Dry Skin

Tip 1: Cleansing

After waking up in the morning, the first thing to do is cleanse your face, dry skin, and use a mild, gentle, and hydrating cleanser.

Tip 2: Rub in Serum

Serums contain antioxidants hence protecting the skin from harsh environmental factors, and since you are going out, it will be fine to apply it on your face.

 Tip 3: Apply a Moisturize 

Always apply moisturizer when your skin is still damp, probably within 3 minutes of washing your face because it ensures your skin is well hydrated throughout the day. 

Tip 4: Apply a Sun Protector

To protect your skin from UV harm and keep it healthy, apply a sun protector with at least SPF 30. 

These basic skincare tips are essential for anyone with dry skin. After doing all that, you can then apply your makeup and go out confidently. 

 

Night Skin Care Tips for Dry Skin

After a busy day out, your skin has been exposed to many toxic things, and it is time to wash it out and leave it refreshed for the night. Below are tips to follow for your evening skincare routine 

Tip 1: Clean off the Makeup

Use a cleansing oil to remove your makeup before washing your skin to ensure that the makeup is thoroughly dissolved and to replenish your dry skin.

Tip 2: Cleanse Your Face

After removing your makeup, wash your face using a water-based cleanser to eliminate all traces of dirt.

Tip 3: Scrub Your Skin

Use a moisturizing face scrub to remove dead cells; this should be done not more than twice a week. 

Tip 4: Apply Hydrating Serum

Hyaluronic acid and vitamin E serums are excellent for dry skin because they refresh and keep your skin soft. 

Tip 5: Apply a moisturizing Night Cream 

The night cream helps your skin to recover from any damage while you sleep. 

BOTTOM LINE

It takes time and commitment to have beautiful skin, having dry skin should not discourage you, ensure you have a proper skincare routine, and commit to it to have amazing results.
