Dry and dehydrated skin are similar only in that both flake and their status looks much worse if not properly maintained. And yet.
And so - they are two different types of skin (more precisely, to the type of skin could be considered dry). The difference between them is enormous, at least in the cause of education: Dry skin lacks fat, dehydrated - water.
Dry skin - it's for life, and dehydrated - a temporary phenomenon, which can be eliminated.
Dry skin, unfortunately, can never be normal. Because in nature there are no such facilities, which would be able to enhance the production of sebum to normal (dry type generates very little sebum, which is necessary to support the skin's elasticity and keeping it moisture). All this - genetics, but the situation can worsen if:
- pick the wrong care (weak emphasis on hydration);
- often nervous;
- messing vitamin A (it greatly inhibits sebum production);
- malnourished;
- bad weather (dry skin does not like cold and dry weather conditions);
- taking hormonal contraceptives.
Since dehydration may face each of us, with any type of skin. Even now, in the hot season, when cooling off in the air conditioner. And it is hard to dehydrate due to a sharp decline in humidity in the room!
How to distinguish the dry skin from dehydrated
Dehydrated determine is quite simple, the feelings of tightness and compactness, though on the face of our film is that tightens the skin.
More reliably will observe the skin after a slight tweak: if, after he has left visible traces - everything is exactly dehydration.
Do different skin care?
Based on the nature of the formation of dry and dehydrated skin - yes. We have already explained this. Now we shall understand what care is needed for dry skin (do not miss this moment, I do not care a typical information on as many sites) and dehydrated.
Dry Skin Care
Once she had a deficit of sebum, then have it as something to fill. This requires fatty components:
- emollients vegetable oil (jojoba oil, avocado, rose, etc.);
- ceramides and cholesterol: these natural components of the skin can also be found in the composition of cosmetics;
- occlusive components (they do not allow moisture to evaporate, forming a protective film on the skin): paraffin, vaseline, lanolin, mineral oil, beeswax, and shea butter.
Above and memorize look for those creams and other moisturizers, where these components are in the very beginning as a part of.
Oily vehicles have a thick consistency, so it should be. On specific funds - on your choice, the main thing - that the composition in the first rows were vegetable oils or occlusive components.
The second point of care (although I really do not like it, but it is important) - the use of care oils. I advise everyone to argan oil. According to it, I even have overview.
Use oils speak effectively in a multi-care, in the penultimate stage before humidification and after tonic and serum. But I shall paint later, why not see the point in a multi-care, he has, in my opinion, has outlived itself.
The third point - purification. Here it is best to use the funds that do not foam (they have no surfactants), and hydrophilic oil.
Mitsellyarku can be used, but only after thoroughly rinse it with water. There's still surfactants, and they are responsible for the formation of acne and even wrinkles.
for dehydrated skin care
Here, too, everything is simple. Skin needs water, so - it must hold. Retain moisture with us:
- hyaluronic acid;
- glycerol;
- amino acids;
- AHA acids;
- sorbitol.
All this in the composition of cosmetics must go to the top of the list, preferably after water. The consistency of such agents should be liquid, close to the means for oily skin.
Good start treatment with thermal water, it contains minerals that are natural skin moisturizers. After termalki - serum with hyaluronic acid or toner. The third stage - cream with okllyuzivnymi components (moisture must be closed so that the water does not evaporate, and then the skin is very good engorged). For oily dehydrated skin the last stage can be replaced by a sunscreen.
Well... all I wanted - to understand. If this article you have learned something new and material as a whole liked - put the "thumbs up"!
