Dry skin is a common skin problem. It is characterized by the fact that the skin feels rough, itchy and its surface layer can dandruff. The skin may look tired and a little bit more.
Drying can be due to both external and internal factors. External factors include the effects of weather. Cold air or dry indoor air evaporates moisture from the skin.
Too much washing or hot water removes natural oils from the skin. Also, the wrong kind of cosmetics can be used to dry the skin.
– Fragrances and strong chemicals can irritate the skin, the nurse said Elina Salzwel Bio-Oil’s media event.
Internal factors that can dry the skin are inadequate water drinking, the lack of good fats, ie omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the body. Similarly, the lack of vitamins A, C, E, B and D and nutrients, aging, hormone balance and some drugs can dry the skin.
If you suffer from dry and itchy skin, you can support it by providing the nutrients and moisturizing it with your own skin.
There is one mistake many make dry skin care.
– Care of dry skin requires patience. The process is longer than we easily think and the treatment is easily too short, says Salzwel.
– If dry skin is cracked and inflamed, it may take months to recover the skin. If the skin is itchy and scaly, the recovery time is about 1-2 weeks.
“Internal treatment of skin is just as important,” he recalls.
