Many women face the problem of dry facial skin, which is often accompanied by tightness, irritation and peeling. Wrinkles appear more frequently on this type of face, since the skin is more susceptible to loss of elasticity. What can you do to provide your skin with the necessary hydration and eliminate unwanted signs of dryness?
There are many cosmetics and treatments for this type of skin, some even use hemorrhoid cream for this, but it is always possible to make anti-wrinkle masks for faces with dry skin at home using natural products.
Causes of dryness
What causes fluid loss? The skin consists of several layers:
- dermis
- epidermis
- external stratum corneum
The epidermis and cells of the stratum corneum protect the dermis from environmental influences. That is, the dermis contains 80% fluid, which provides elasticity. If the protective layer is thin, it is difficult for it to retain fluid in the dermis. Without this necessary help, the skin quickly loses moisture. And this happens even more intensely under the influence of external irritating factors: heat, frost, wind.
It is important to know that there are two types of dry skin:
- This type is given to man by nature. The skin is delicate, does not cause problems at a young age, without greasy shine or acne, but over time it is susceptible to the early appearance of wrinkles and peeling.
- The skin becomes like this due to dehydration. This can happen to any type of skin as a result of insufficient hydration or excessive dryness with special products.
If you have doubts when determining your skin type, you can take a simple test:
- Wash well
- Clean your face
- Do not apply creams or cosmetics to your face.
- After a couple of hours, apply a paper napkin to your face.
If no moisture marks appear on the napkin, then the skin is dry. When spots appear in the nose, forehead and chin area, we can safely say that the skin is oily.
The main reasons why the skin becomes dry:
- Alteration in the functioning of the sebaceous glands.
- Dry air
- Frequent exposure to sun and frost.
- Prolonged stay in the water.
- Wash with hot water
- Poor quality cosmetics, excessive use of cosmetics.
- Use soap
- Frequent peeling
- There are not enough vitamins
- Various skin diseases.
- Diseases of the stomach and intestines, thyroid gland, nervous system.
- Side effects of some medications.
- Poor nutrition, diets.
- Of smoking
- Lack of proper facial care
- Hormonal changes/pregnancy, menopause, hormone therapy
- Age-related changes
Dry air, especially during the cold season, is one of the most common causes of skin dehydration; It makes it opaque and lifeless. Frost, strong wind, high temperatures and low humidity are dangerous for all skin types, especially if it is naturally dry and thin. A similar effect occurs with frequent visits to the solarium.
The same negative effect occurs with hot water, and even with the use of soap. In this case, the natural fat layer is removed, while the skin dries and tightens.
But the body must receive a sufficient amount of fluid. The alteration of water balance, resulting from inadequate organization of the diet or certain diets, will be reflected first of all on the face.
Diseases such as diabetes, dysbacteriosis and eczema also affect dry skin. A malfunctioning thyroid gland reduces fat production, as a result the skin loses its elasticity and becomes dry. Various medications (antibiotics, diuretics) can have a side effect that deprives the skin of sufficient moisture.
Dry skin type is the most sensitive to hormonal changes. The main factor that influences the formation of dry dermis is the malfunction of the sebaceous glands. But this can be influenced by weather conditions and incorrectly selected cosmetics, as well as poor ecology, bad habits and even active facial expressions and time spent in front of the computer monitor.
How to use anti-wrinkle masks on dry skin
Before starting health procedures, you need to find out what caused dry skin and eliminate the root causes. Otherwise, no product applied to the surface will solve the problem.
There are myths about proper care for this type of skin:
- Sometimes you can hear the misconception that caring for dry skin is practically unnecessary. This decision is formed among the young representatives of the fair. But upon crossing the threshold of thirty years, the natural aging process begins in the body. And it is dry skin that suffers the most from the lack of mandatory care. Therefore, the early appearance of facial wrinkles is noticeable.
- Someone claims that after turning 30, no matter what you do, wrinkles will continue to appear on dry skin. The body really ages and this cannot be prevented, but there is always an opportunity to slow down this process. Well-cared for skin ages more slowly and certainly looks better. Correct actions will allow you to keep your skin young, and even at a more mature age, wrinkles will be practically invisible.
The best positive results, both for prevention and for eliminating facial wrinkles with dry skin, can be achieved using homemade cosmetic masks. After all, they are full of beneficial natural ingredients. When preparing it yourself, you should not doubt whether chemical ingredients have been added to the composition.
When choosing mask recipes, it is better to focus on options that produce a nourishing and moisturizing effect.
These masks aim to achieve the following effects:
- Restore water balance
- Rejuvenation
- Smooth wrinkles
- Maximum moisture retention
Many people notice that after regular use of homemade masks, the skin looks smooth, healthy and matte.
You should use homemade care products 2-3 times a week before going to bed for 15-20 minutes. After rinsing, apply a proven moisturizing night cream. It is better to alternate masks.
