Things to note when taking care of skin in dry season

Humectants are substances that help the skin retain moisture, preventing or reducing water evaporation in one way or another.

Our skin also has natural moisturizing factors, which can be fats or nitrogen-containing substances or electrolytes. However, when these moisturizing substances are destroyed by certain factors, the stratum corneum of the skin can no longer ensure the function of a protective barrier, the water retention on the skin is reduced and the skin becomes dehydrated. At this time, it is necessary to use moisturizing substances.

Moisturizers are used depending on the purpose of use, location of use, degree of skin dryness, age and existing skin diseases... Moisturizers can be used alone or combined in the ingredients of skin and hair care products such as makeup, lotions, cleansers, shower gels, lipsticks, shampoos...

Moisturizers should be applied to clean skin after bathing or as needed. Not only should they be used on the affected skin, but healthy skin areas that need to be moisturized should also be cared for.

Applying face masks and drinking enough water helps to keep the skin very moist.

Children need to use a separate moisturizer. In addition, a good moisturizer will contain ingredients similar to the skin's lipids to help repair the skin's protective barrier, must be well absorbed through the stratum corneum and retain for a long time, be less easily washed away by water, limit the risk of causing skin allergies (for people with sensitive skin), reduce the risk of acne to avoid causing acne or worsening existing acne...

Therefore, not everyone can use the same skin cream as others, as many family members often use or borrow from friends...

When the skin is dry, you should apply moisturizers that both moisturize and prevent dehydration, especially in dry weather. People with oily skin should also use low-fat moisturizers specifically for oily skin. It is best to use moisturizers as advised by a dermatologist to protect healthy and beautiful skin.

Moisturize skin naturally

With so many types of moisturizers on the market today, choosing the right one is not easy. A good moisturizer must have the basic ingredients of water and milky oil that have the effect of moisturizing the skin. Therefore, many people today choose natural skin care products such as: honey, olive oil, rose water, coconut oil... which are convenient, easy to use and safe.

To make moisturizing creams effective in skin care, every day after bathing, take coconut oil, olive oil, honey... and apply it all over your body, then massage gently, take cream or moisturizer and rub it evenly on both hands and then apply it directly to your skin, use it regularly every day, this method not only has a whitening effect but also creates a very effective protective layer for the skin./.
