Skin Solutions - Dry, Dull or Dehydrated Skin
If your skin lacks radiance and feels
"tight" it is likely that it is dehydrated. The appearance of fine
lines due to loss of elasticity and flexibility are other key signs of
dehydrated skin. Moisture evaporates readily through the skin, and if
we don't stop this occurrence our skin looses its ability to protect
against the outside environment leading to even more moisture loss and
in the long term, actual skin damage due to poor cellular integrity.
It is the balance of sebum (skin oil) and
perspiration that keeps the skin healthy. Skin dehydration occurs when
the water and oils that form part of the protective layer are out of
balance. You can minimise moisture loss by:
- avoid long, hot showers
- avoid products that contain sodium laurel sulphate
- avoid being in air-conditioned environments all day long
- repair the skin's waterproof barrier and restore the skin's ability to
attract and retain water
- avoid petrochemial and irritating ingredients such as artificial fragrances (to read this article in full click here)
Our skincare packs for mature, dry, dehydrated skin help to restore essential hydration to the skin, replenishing essential skin oils, moisture and antioxidant levels. You will notice a difference.
