Dry Skin
Dry skin is flaky and dull looking, especially on the
cheeks and around the eyes: Even in the teens fine
lines may appear on the cheeks, under the eyes and
at the corners of the mouth. Dry skin has a
tendency for broken veins, flakiness, dry patches,
reddened and sore skin in cold weather. A dry skin
needs a lot of care. The oil glands are not supplying
enough lubrication to the skin and the skin becomes
dehydrated.
If your skin is really dry, adopt suitable measures. If
neglected, it turns into wrinkles and lines. Cleansing
should be done with a cream, followed by a very
mild tonic like rose water or a herbal infusion to
remove the remaining traces of oil and to have the
skin feeling fresh. Wash the dry skin with water and
scrub. If you are afraid it will overdry your skin, use
enough of moisturizer afterwards. Try washing with
milk. Instead of soap, you can also use oatmeal or
almond meat Lubricating and feeding are essential
for this type of skin.
Never go out without a moisturizer at night. If your
skin is feeling particularly dry, restore it with a rich
nourishing cream, then blot off the excess cream
after about twenty minutes. The skin will have
absorbed all the cream it can in ten minutes and the
excess will only block the pores of your skin.
