Dry skin or dehydrated skin? The dos and don'ts
When skin is uncomfortable, tight or even flaky, we tend to shorten the diagnosis: we have dry skin and we are determined to treat it as such. However, did you know thatthere is a big difference between dry skin and dehydrated skin ? The latter is much more often encountered and is in reality, a temporary phenomenon ... Small overview to finally understand and solve your beauty problem.
Dry skin
It is a skin that plays thrifty because it does not produce enough fat. We all have a protective barrier (the famous hydrolipidic film), which, when it is altered or even non-existent for dry skin, also leads to a loss of water. Result, we can also have a dry skin AND which also suffers from dehydration ! In order to defend themselves, dry skins can also tend to thicken, a natural phenomenon to compensate for this famous missing or seriously damaged shield.
I have dry skin if:
- Since I was small I have always complained of feeling that my skin was tight.
- I’m lucky and have almost invisible pores.
- My complexion is often dull.
- My skin is fine, rough and rarely feels soft?
- I dread the winter as I always have dry patches.
The watchword: recharge your skin with nutrients
1 or 2 times a week, to intensely nourish, apply the Moisturising Mask Moisturising Mask Susanne Kaufmann. A real shield against dehydration, it provides long-lasting nourishment for supple, plump skin and a fresh, luminous complexion. Even the driest skin can use it as a night cream for intensely nourished skin.
And to go one step further and multiply the effects of your routine tenfold, try a course of L'Essentiel Peau Combeau: a universal and effective dietary supplement, rich in hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C, to reveal the natural beauty of every skin.
Avoiding dry or dehydrated skin
We flee the heating (especially when it is pushed to its maximum), air conditioning and (as much as possible) pollution!
We avoid showers or baths that are too hotwhich literally melt our hydrolipidic film.
Preserve your skin's surface barrier by avoiding washing your face every morning. Instead, opt for a spritz of lotion such as Le Beau Reset Soothing Floral Mist. Le Beau Reset Soothing Floral Mist Ulé.
We banish complexion products based on denatured alcohol which dry out the skin, and prefer those that include care ingredients in their formulation, such as the True Skin Foundation Serum IliaTrue Skin Foundation Serum, formulated with a moisturizing aloe vera base.
