Dry Skin

Dry skin is regarded as a skin type, meaning that it is derived as a result of genetic predisposition. Dry skin tends to be a long-term concern, affecting both the body and face, where insufficient oil is produced within the skin leading to an impaired skin barrier. Oil assists to ‘trap’ water within the skin.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Introduction to what causes dry skin, what it is and common symptoms to look out for

      Without the presence of oil, trans-epidermal water loss occurs, meaning that the water level in the skin decreases and the skin dries out. While genetics is the main cause of this, there are often accompanying factors that exacerbate the dry skin type, such as an underactive thyroid, hormonal imbalances, or prolonged, untreated dehydration. These factors can cause dryness as they interfere with the skin’s production of natural oils that assist in skin protection. Less oil within the skin often leaves it feeling dry, with visible signs of flakiness, and the skin tends to feel more sensitive in nature. Ageing occurs more rapidly as the skin loses the ability to provide suitable protection against environmental stress and damage. A dry skin type tends to show more visible evidence of this damage, resulting in more prominent age lines and wrinkles.

      As dry skin results from a lack of oil within the skin, supplying it with additional water is not the solution, as the oil layer necessary to trap or retain this water is absent. Supplementing your skincare routine with additional, suitable oils is the best way to soothe a dry skin type. Look for products that supply the skin with barrier-protective properties while replenishing the necessary oil back into the skin.

      Apply DermaFix Ceramide Complex to the skin, ensuring to use friction movements to aid product penetration, helping to repair the skin’s barrier and relieve dry skin concerns. Follow with the application of DermaFix Bio-Effective Cream, helping to restore the essential fatty acid content of the skin necessary for skin health and barrier function.
