Cream for very dry and sensitive skin

Any modern woman wants to be beautiful, well-groomed and eye-catching. This largely depends on the condition of the skin of the face, which daily takes on an invisible impact of external and internal factors: poor ecology, stress, overwork, unhealthy diet, containing excess fats and preservatives, etc. The dry and sensitive skin type is particularly affected. To protect and maintain youth, complex care is needed: deep cleansing, restoration of damaged areas, intensive nourishment and hydration of the deepest layers of the dermis.

Beauticians and dermatologists share the skin into several types and subspecies. One of the most in need of care and protection is dry sensitive skin, which sharply reacts to external stimuli (water with admixtures, cold air, snow and wind) and internal changes (stress, poor-quality food, hormonal surge, etc.). This is due to impaired hydrobalance in all layers of the skin, as a result of which the cells lose a large amount of moisture and cease to function normally. Also, this skin has a malfunctioning sebaceous glands, because of which the natural protective barrier is destroyed. The consequences can be the most unpredictable: from excessive dryness and flaky epidermis to incessant itching.

Also, dermatologists and cosmetologists recommend adhering to a healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition and spending more time in the fresh air.

Sensitive skin can result from a single or symbiotic factor. Consider the most common:

• aggressive weather conditions (excessive dryness or humidity of the air, low and high temperatures, wind, snow);
• insufficient water intake;
• negative exposure to UV rays;
• side effects of taking medication;
• the use of poor-quality cosmetics;
• condition of beriberi - vitamin deficiency is typical for many regions of our country;
• non-skin-friendly cosmetic procedures (cryotherapy, peeling, scrub, etc.);
• allergic reactions;
• vegetative vascular dystonia;
• "Unhealthy" food in the form of convenience foods and fast food;
• hormonal age or periodic changes in the body.

As a result of these reasons, inflammatory reactions in the form of redness, rash, itching or swelling begin in the skin. The capillaries of the skin increase, along with the thinning of the walls, so the network of subcutaneous vessels (couperosis) becomes visible. The natural protective barrier ceases to function normally, so the skin becomes more vulnerable to external stimuli. The transepidermal water loss increases, as a result of which all layers of the cover become fading, dry and prematurely mature.

Shop windows and pharmacies are full of offers of various cosmetics, including creams from world famous and not very famous brands. To choose the best cream for dry and sensitive skin, you must carefully review the composition. The tool designed to solve cosmetic problems will contain the following ingredients:

• hyaluronic acid - this substance is famous for its moisturizing, rejuvenating and tightening properties;
• collagen - component for the active fight against the processes of wilting and aging: activates metabolic processes, has antioxidant properties, improves blood circulation;
• glycerol - famous for its moisturizing effect. Our grandmothers have long used this substance to combat dry skin;
• panthenol - restores, soothes, heals, reduces inflammation and protects against excessive evaporation;
• various extracts and extracts of useful plantsthat penetrate the deepest layers of the epidermis, saturate the cells with various acids and nutrients, normalize the work of the sebaceous glands, make the skin soft, but elastic, elastic and velvety.
• vitamins - needed to activate the local immune system and intensive nutrition.

Cream for dry skin should not be overly aggressive chemicals that can exacerbate the negative effects of irritating factors:

• alcohol;
• salicylic acid;
• silicone;
• matting agents, etc.

Owners of dry and sensitive skin should follow some guidelines when choosing cosmetics.

• Observe the golden rule about the retention period: “the less, the better.” Products with a large number of natural substances are not subject to long-term storage, but is optimal for dehydrated skin.
• If given the opportunity - use testers. This is a good way to test the body for an allergic reaction and compatibility with this cream.
• Do not get the cream, which includes beeswax, as it can cause an allergic reaction to sensitive skin in the form of many unpleasant symptoms.
• It is better to choose a hypoallergenic cream of a popular brand, proven by time, experience and having a lot of positive reviews.
• When choosing, it is necessary to read the instructions or instructions on the package, where a particular type of skin is prescribed, for which this cosmetic product is intended.
• The best would be the purchase of a cream for hypersensitive skin in the pharmacy kiosk, where products are dermatologically controlled.
• The texture of the day cream applied under makeup should be quickly absorbed and not leave a greasy or sticky feeling.
• As part of a nourishing night cream with a more dense oily structure, there should be various nutrients, caring and regenerating substances.
• An excessive amount of flavors can cause an allergic reaction, so preference should be given to products that have a delicate subtle fragrance.
• During the period of excessive solar activity (spring and summer), you must choose a cream with high protection against UV rays (SPF-factor should be at least 8).
