TROCKENE HAUT IM GESICHT RICHTIG PFLEGEN

Dry skin needs a lot of attention. Because: Your protective barrier of fat and water is impaired by insufficient activity of the sebum glands. As a result, the skin is less able to store moisture.

The lack of moisture is particularly evident in thin and sensitive areas on the face , such as on the lips , under the eyes , on the nose or on the cheeks . These areas are often exposed to external influences without protection and can also be affected when other parts of the body are supplied with sufficient moisture.

The dryness is visible in rough and flaky areas and manifests itself as feelings of tension and itching. The skin of the face is also prone to stress and quickly irritated or irritated by external influences such as temperature and the environment. Your ability to regenerate is impaired and the protective barrier weakened.

In order to restore the moisture balance and reactivate the protective function, dry facial skin depends on extensive care. As a general rule, do not apply cream to dry facial skin too often, because the skin's own barrier function can then become unbalanced. 

What about pimples on dry skin?

The good news : In general, blemishes occur less often with dry skin. The skin has more fine pores and produces less sebum, which reduces the risk of blackheads and pimples forming .

The main trigger for dry skin are environmental factors - the face is exposed to these more frequently than other skin areas.

Internal factors:

• Stress and emotional stress influence the natural protective covering of the facial skin via hormones and nerves.
  
  
• Inflammatory skin diseases such as neurodermatitis and psoriasis are associated with dry facial skin.
  
  
• Nicotine attacks blood vessels and tissues, causing the skin of the face to be poorly supplied with blood and supporting fibers losing their elasticity.
  
  

External factors:

• Climatic conditions such as heat, cold or dry heating air cause the skin to give off more moisture.  
  
  
• UV rays intensify skin aging on the face: lower productivity of the sebum glands as well as a decrease in the regenerative capacity and barrier function of the skin with increasing age.
  
  
• Hot facial soaps loosen the natural fats from the skin. The regular use of cosmetic products can also irritate sensitive skin.
  
  

• Dry skin under the eyes: The skin around the eyes is particularly fine and sensitive. External stimuli or a lack of fluids show up quickly here.
• Dry skin on the nose: often becomes noticeable in the cold season. Frequent nose blowing irritates the skin, leads to redness and brittle areas.
• Dry skin on the cheeks: This is particularly common in children. But people with combination skin or dry skin also tend to have dry cheeks. The reason is that there are generally fewer sebum glands than z. B. sit in the T-zone.
• Dry lips: The skin of the lips has hardly any fat-donating sebum glands . This delicate area of the skin is therefore more prone to dryness, especially in winter.

By the way : If only individual parts of the face are dry and the areas around the nose, chin and forehead are rather greasy, we speak of combination skin .

Of course, dry and even very dry skin can also appear on other parts of the body such as the hands or feet , legs or elbows .

Dry skin on the face is often particularly sensitive . Therefore, try primarily to use mild products that are specially designed for dry skin.

Ideally, use cleansing products that suit your dry skin type. Sensitive skin may react to products that dry out too much with flaking or even itching.

Tip : Pay attention to the note “for dry skin” when buying. Appropriately labeled products are specially tailored to the needs of your skin and contain soothing and moisturizing ingredients .

Removing makeup and cleaning the skin : The face free morning and evening with cleansing cream or cleansing gel, gentle cleansing milk or mild cleaning cloths of makeup, dirt and Co..

Clarify : To clarify the skin, use a cotton swab with an alcohol-free oneToner water and gently wipe over the skin. Dirt particles and make-up residues are removed and the face is prepared for the subsequent care step.

Peelings for dry skin : A mild oil peeling (applied once a week) leaves the skin feeling pleasantly soft. Suitable for DIY peelings are e.g. B. grape seed or coconut oil and soft peeling bodies such as almond bran.

Is there a difference in facial care in summer and winter?

In winter, rich face creams for dry skin with a high oil content are the right choice to strengthen the protective function of the skin and prevent dryness. In summer it can also be a lighter moisturizer .

What to eat for dry skin?

Anything rich in vitamins A, C, and E works as a moisture booster for dry skin. Nuts also help the skin to regenerate thanks to the fats they contain and also contain important minerals such as magnesium, iron and potassium. By the way : Sugar lets the skin dry out further, so keep your fingers off!

1. Prepare the skin with a gentle peeling for an even make-up  .
2. Use a moisturizer as a foundation (e.g. day cream).
3. Prefer foundation with a liquid or creamy texture.
4. Avoid powdery products as they will settle faster on dry skin.
5. Pay attention to nourishing ingredients (e.g. hyaluronic acid).

Bei trockener Haut gilt es insbesondere, viel Wert auf das Layering zu legen – sprich: Die richtige Reihenfolge bei der Hautpflege einzuhalten.

Die richtige Reihenfolge in der Pflegeroutine:

• Tragen Sie zunächst eine reichhaltige Tagescreme mit LSF als Grundierung auf und lassen Sie die Pflege gut einziehen. Fällt dieser Schritt weg, könnte sich das Make-up später sichtbar an den sehr trockenen Hautstellen absetzen.
• Feuchtigkeitsspendende Foundations in flüssigen und cremigen Texturen sind ideale Make-up-Partner für trockene und sehr trockene Gesichtshaut.
• Damit Ihr Make-up hält, verwenden Sie am besten ein Fixierspray. Zum Fixieren verwenden Sie am besten ein Fixierspray. Wer auf Puder nicht verzichten möchte, greift zu einem transparenten Produkt und setzt es sehr sparsam ein.
