It can be really annoying to have dry skin. It may seem like you have to put on body cream or hand lotion every few hours, but your skin is still annoyingly dry even after all your hard work. Dry skin can happen to anyone, at any time of the year. Here are the main things that could be drying out your face. Some of them may surprise you!
Learn the right way to treat dry skin and understand the important difference between not having enough wetness and being dehydrated. Read on, and we’ll show you how to get rid of dry skin for good!
8 Main Things That Cause Dry Skin
1. The weather
In the fall and winter, dry skin can happen more often. Our skin tends to dry out faster when the humidity drops and stays low. If your dry skin feels tight and flaky, switch to a strong cleanser like Blood Orange Cleansing Balm to hydrate and clean at the same time.
When you mix avocado, coconut, and olive oil, they all work together to clean your skin deeply and leave it soft and smooth.
2. How Warm the Water Is
We get it. Taking a long, hot shower with Vanilla Bean Shower Gel is the best way to relax. How could we ask you to give up this time to be yourself?! So, you’re not getting any other “me” time if you’re too busy drenching your whole body in body oil to keep your skin from getting too dry from the hot water that relaxes your muscles.
It’s the truth, so pay attention! We’re not telling you what you want to hear. You should not use hot water on your skin or hair. A lot of people have dry skin because when the temperature goes up, they remove the natural oils that keep their skin healthy.
We’re not telling you to take extra cold showers like Wim Hof does. We’re just saying that switching from a hot shower to a chilly one could change your beauty game for good. With this small change, you might notice that your dry skin problems get better or go away completely. Thanks!
3. Additives For Chemicals
Your dry skin problems are getting worse because your face toner has drying ingredients like alcohol in it. Cheap, harmful fillers can also make your skin dry and sensitive all over.
When looking for a toner, look for things like chia seed water, algae, and sea kelp that will keep your skin hydrated. All of these ingredients are in our Restorative Sea Culture Hydrating Toner and work together to make skin plumper, softer, and more hydrated.
4. Getting Older
That’s just how things are that our face changes as we age. With information comes dry skin, but we can get rid of that if we know what to do. Because our pores make less oil as we age, dry skin is more likely to happen.
In our high-end Multi Vitamin Antioxidants Ultra Riché PM Treatment, anti-aging vitamins are mixed with avocado oil and shea butter to make the skin soft. This extremely rich night cream helps get rid of dry skin and gives skin a healthy glow.
5. Skin Problems And Medicines
Due to how tricky it is, this is a two-for. Some people have dry skin because of their genes, but it can also be a side effect of some medicines. The dry skin that comes from both of these is a little harder to get rid of fully, but there are ways to control it.
Dry skin can be caused by very drying ingredients in medicines, especially traditional acne treatments, or by a family history of skin problems like eczema. We suggest that you try a lotion with only one ingredient, like Argan Oil.
This natural oil has many skin-benefiting ingredients, such as vitamin E, carotenes, squalene, and important fatty acids. These ingredients can help deeply hydrate dry or sensitive skin.
6. An Uneven pH Level
A quick lesson in chemistry: skin care with a pH that is too high or too low won’t help your dry skin. Your goal is to find the pH that is just right, like Goldilocks. Your skin can get dry, swollen, or acne if the pH of a skin care product is off.
Change it out for a pH-balanced serum like the Restorative Sea Culture Replenishing Serum. This serum uses seaweed polysaccharides to deeply hydrate dry, thirsty skin.
7. Loss Of Water
If you are dehydrated and have dry skin, your skin doesn’t have enough water. Not having enough water or sweat can lead to dry skin, which is also known as TEWL (Transepidermal Water Loss).
Skin that isn’t getting enough water can lose its flexibility and make fine lines and wrinkles look worse. Use a Deep Hydration Mask or the hydrogel Green Tea Water Bomb Mask on your face to help it stay moist.
Sheet masks and hydrogel masks are both great for quickly fixing dry skin because they deeply moisturize. Soothing aloe, cucumber, and hyaluronic acid can help your skin’s natural moisture levels return. This will refresh and revive skin that is thirsty.
8. Too Much Washing
Even though we like a good cleanse, especially after a long day or a hard workout at the gym, it is possible to cleanse too much. If we wash our faces (or hands) too much, or too many times a day, we’re messing with the natural buffer, which is skin, which directly leads to dry skin.
The natural moisture factor (NMF), oil, and water that make up our skin are three important things that keep it working right. If you use regular, strong soaps and cleaners, they will dry out your skin.
Natural cleansers, like the Coconut Oil Cleansing Milk or the Argan Oil Creamy Cleanser, are better for your skin because they are full of ingredients that keep your skin moist and clean without drying it out.
