These are the characteristics of dry skin

Dry skin often shows reduced activity of the sebum glands. It lacks moisture on the one hand and fat on the other. The unpleasant consequence: The function of the protective acid mantle of your skin is disturbed. The external features of this malfunction can be flaky and rough areas of the skin (e.g. the cheek area), partial reddening of the skin and even fine cracks in the skin. In many cases, dry skin is uncomfortable and tight. The premature formation of (dryness) wrinkles can also be an undesirable consequence of dry and sensitive skin.

For dry skin, mild, pampering care products with the lowest possible alcohol content should be used. First and foremost, the lipid and moisture balance must be replenished and your skin supplied with sufficient oil. Rich, skin-protecting and moisturising care creams are best for dry and sensitive skin. In the next paragraph you will find out exactly what this means for the individual steps of your daily beauty routine.

The right facial care for dry and sensitive skin

Dry skin requires extra-mild care that does not dry out the skin and offers particularly long-lasting moisture. Your daily beauty routine should therefore focus on calming and protecting the skin. Face care products for dry and demanding skin have the task of supporting or building up the protective skin coat and reducing any feelings of tension. Your day cream should fill up the empty moisture depots in the protective acid mantle in the morning, e.g. B. with the help of the valuable ingredient hyaluronic acid. Their skin-protecting, moisture-retaining and skin-tightening properties can counteract age-related dryness in particular. A finely balanced formulation of high-quality organic oils and fats on the one hand and valuable moisture factors on the other is the ideal care solution for night care too. Moisturising serums or face oils are a useful addition for the care of dry skin. Age-related wrinkles due to dryness often form around the eyes and lips. An intensely nourishing eye cream should therefore be gently patted into the skin as the last step in your daily beauty routine in the morning and evening.

Dry and sensitive skin needs particularly mild cleaning, because it can react much more sensitively to active washing substances. Finely coordinated active ingredient compositions with added moisturisers, such as those offered by lavera Naturkosmetik, are the ideal care response from nature. In order to thoroughly remove dirt particles and make-up residues from your stressed skin, it is best to use a gentle cleansing milk. It provides the first moisture and care during cleaning. A little tip: Make sure that you don't wash your face with water that is too hot, as this will stress your dry skin even more. For a clean complexion and skin that is optimally prepared for the subsequent care, you can then use a mild facial toner that gently and gently clears your skin.

In the morning:

• Use of a mild cleansing milk that has a moisturising effect

• If necessary, a mild facial toner can be used

• A moisturising, light cream provides the skin with sufficient care for the day

• The sensitive, dry eye area can also be treated with an eye cream

In the evening:

• Cleansing milk / cream with nourishing, moisturising properties to remove dirt, sebum and make-up residues from the skin

• Mild facial toner for additional cleansing

• Richer, moisturising night care for skin regeneration

• Eye care for z. B. Dryness wrinkles
