Dry skin is a fairly common skin type. It causes tightness, redness, sometimes gives a crocodile skin effect, and feelings of discomfort. How to treat dry skin on a daily basis, naturally but effectively?

HOW TO RECOGNIZE DRY SKIN?

Dry skin is easy to identify. Its pores are barely or not at all visible, and it has areas of dryness on different parts of the face. If you have very dry skin on your face, additional symptoms may be present, such as rough skin and fine lines of dehydration.

All this comes from the fact that your epidermis works in slow motion, and does not retain the elements that are essential to its flexibility. The hydrolipidic film being altered, the skin no longer has its shield against external aggressions. In addition, it becomes dehydrated because it is no longer able to retain water, and lacks lipids due to insufficient sebum. Dryness and dehydration of the skin then appear.

WHAT CAUSES DRY SKIN?

Dry skin on the face can be caused by a variety of factors:

- External aggressions such as the cold, wind, sun and pollution, which greatly weaken the epidermis. The face is the least protected part of the body and therefore the most exposed to aggression, which explains why it is one of the areas most affected by skin dryness.

- The natural ageing of the skin: as we age, collagen fibres, elastin and hyaluronic acid are produced much less and present in the body. The epidermis becomes thinner and more fragile.

- A bad skin care routine: very dry skin on the face can be caused by inappropriate skin care. For example, if you exfoliate too much, or use irritating products that will cause dry skin.

- A deficient diet: the food you eat must provide your body and skin with all the nutrients they need to function properly. If you don't get enough vitamin A, trace elements and fatty acids from your diet, you will feel the effects on your skin.

HOW TO DEEPLY NOURISH A VERY DRY SKIN?

In addition to an adequate supply of water, it is essential to help dry or very dry skin regain moisture and nutrition. As part of a suitable routine, the rule is to use gentle, non-chemical products so as not to cause irritation. To apply them, simple effleurages should be carried out. Dry skin requires special precautions so as not to weaken it further.

GENTLE SKIN CLEANSING

As always, the treatment of a face with very dry skin starts with a good cleansing. After all, cleanliness is the basis of healthy skin, which can better defend itself and absorb moisturising care optimally. Therefore, make-up removal and cleansing should not be forgotten or carried out incorrectly. Indeed, if you remain with make-up on, your skin cannot breathe properly. Make-up removal and deep cleansing is done in several steps.

First of all, an oily solution should be applied to dry facial skin to remove make-up and oily substances that have accumulated on the skin during the day. Our organic make-up remover oil is suitable for all skin types, even dry skin. It is also very pleasant, as it leaves the skin soft, supple and without any oily film.

Then, the application of a cleansing gel is the perfect care to deeply cleanse your skin after removing make-up. It removes the last residues and perfectly frees the pores. Your skin is then purified.

Finally, a floral water will complete the cleaning of your skin, removing the limescale residues present in tap water. It also has the effect of soothing irritation of the epidermis, giving it more radiance and freshness.

DEEP MOISTURIZATION OF DRY FACIAL SKIN

nourish dry skin

Only once your dry skin has been properly cleansed will it need to be nourished more than any other skin. It is therefore necessary to choose a product that has a strong nutritive and moisturizing power.

Vegetable oils are your allies!

Known for their beneficial properties, vegetable oils are the best allies for dry skin. They are concentrated in active ingredients, vitamins and rich in moisturizing fatty acids (omega 3, 6 and 9). The great strength of vegetable oils is that they have a strong compatibility with our skin. They penetrate our epidermis deeply and ensure cellular cohesion. They also preserve the skin's hydro-lipidic film and promise softness, elasticity, nutrition and protection to your face.

If you would like to know more about how vegetable oils are made, it's this way!

For in-depth nutrition of your dry, shine-free skin, it is recommended to choose a rich cream that combines the benefits of these vegetable oils.

We present you our Muesli cream and our Bed and Breakfast care oil, real allies for dry skin.

Muesli Cream

Enriched with sesame oil, shea butter, coconut oil, linseed oil, oat oil, cocoa butter and rose hip oil, the muesli cream will provide your skin with all the nutrition it needs. It acts like a real cold cream. In order to privilege the virtues of nature, 100% of its ingredients are of natural origin. This cocktail of oils concentrates all the nutritive, moisturizing, regenerating, antioxidant, soothing, softening and anti-aging properties. So, ready to adopt it ;)

Bed and Breakfast Oil Care

Made up of 12 organic virgin vegetable oils such as prickly pear, evening primrose, borage, coconut oil, sweet almond, linseed oil, hazelnut oil... This treatment intensely nourishes dry to very dry skin, and or mature skin, and helps to regenerate your skin. Day after day, your complexion regains radiance, suppleness and elasticity. If you're worried that the oil is too rich and will leave you with an oily finish on your face, don't panic! Bed and Breakfast skincare oil is mainly made up of dry oils (such as hazelnut oil), which allows you to have a less oily finish on your face. For a better absorption of the oil, we recommend you to spray a littleorganic rose water and apply the treatment directly without penetrating the flower and fruit water.

The best care is in nature, which is why we at Akane favour unprocessed, healthy and natural products.

GENTLE EXFOLIATION

facial exfoliation

It is essential to remove dead skin cells because they prevent the skin from having good oxygenation. Dead cells also limit the effects of skin care products and delay cell renewal. For this reason, scrubs, peels and masks are the ideal solution. They should be used sparingly so as not to irritate your dry skin any further. It's all a question of dosage. For example, if you make a moisturizing mask, don't follow it up with an exfoliation within a week. Also, use minimalist compositions, without chemical ingredients, silicones or drying agents.

We recommend the use of aloe vera, which gently exfoliates the skin and provides good hydration. It is not a substitute for a nourishing cream, because exfoliation of the skin with aloe vera can sometimes lead to desquamation.

HOW TO MAKE UP FOR DRY SKIN?

make-up removal

A face with dry skin needs very good hydration before make-up. To limit the damage, you need to increase the amount of time you spend moisturizing it. We advise you to massage at least 5 minutes with a nourishing treatment before applying make-up.

When choosing your make-up, opt for products with the most natural composition possible. Mineral powders can be a good option if your dry skin is not too peeling.

But if it is really very dry, with patches and flakes, it is better not to put make-up on it until it has been cared for and renewed with nourishing care.

You now have all the tools you need to improve the condition of your dry skin, giving it all the moisture it needs. Over the long term, a good skin routine will result in less tightness, fewer dry patches and a natural glow.
