People suffering from dry skin have exactly the opposite problem of those with oily skin in that they suffer from a lack of sebum or oil production where people with oily skin have an overactive production. Sebum, which is made from skin cells, is vital to healthy, elastic skin. Because people with dry skin have insufficient oil production it must be replaced from the inside and the outside.
Dry skin needs plenty of thorough but gentle cleansing, regular stimulation with massage and generous quantities of oil and moisture. It also needs extra careful protection. Washing dry skin with soap and water not only removes grime but also the natural oils protecting the skin. A moisturizer increases the water content of the outer layers of the skin and gives it a soft, moist look.
Use nondetergent, neutral-pH products to cleanse your skin. Avoid using any commercial soap. And always touch your face gently. Double-cleanse with a cream, leaving a light, thin trace of it on the skin after the second cleansing.
For starters, find a good moisturizing cream that is very rich but not too heavy. Natural creams that contain chamomile and aloe vera are very soothing and will help with dryness and healing.
The next thing you need to look at is your diet. You must take a hard look at what you are eating and how healthy or unhealthy it is. Your skin is actually the largest organ of the body and needs nourishment just like the rest of the body. Some of the best supplements for your skin include Omega-3 oils, Vitamin E, and B-Complex vitamin. This is one of the easiest and best things you can do to take care of your skin.
Apply moisturiser while your skin is still damp. Note the advice of many experts in choosing a moisturiser less is more when it comes to the ingredients list.
