Proper hydration is very important for dry and sensitive skin

Proper hydration is very important for dry and sensitive skin

Winter is known as a season of dry skins, but hydration is important all year round, because in the summer we are exposed to factors that dry out the skin, such as excess sun, sea water and pool, physical activities or even air conditioning. Therefore, it is important that all people take care of dry skin, especially those who have it dry and sensitive.

Dry skin becomes more prone peeling, irritation and itching. This is because the outermost layer of the skin is coated by a barrier, which has the function of protecting the skin against external damage, also prevents the loss of water and lipids important for the integrity of this barrier and good appearance of the skin. The cells in the corneal layer of the skin break off more easily because of dryness and the skin also becomes more vulnerable to external agents, which can cause irritation.

Therefore, the oiliness in the right amount is important. A moisturized skin has its entire skin barrier, running at a lower risk of problems such as itching and irritation, as well as being protected against external agents.

Although dryness may be caused by external factors such as the use of inadequate soap, hot, very cold weather, among others, there are people who have naturally dry skin. These also need to be taken care of all year long, especially by moisturizing the skin constantly, to recover this natural barrier.

Here are some tips to avoid excessive skin dryness:

  • Take baths at room temperature, no water too hot as it removes the natural oiliness of the skin
  • And the longer the baths are, the worse for the skin: take showers for a maximum of seven minutes a day
  • Use specific soaps for your skin: in the case of dry skin, there are specific types with moisturizing properties
  • Be sure to use moisturizers, especially those specifically for dry skin if this is your case
  • The best time to use moisturizers is after the bath because the skin is better accepted
  • Drinking fluids every day is essential for skin health and also helps to restore lost moisture through dryness.

Generally, drier skins require application from a thicker layer and the oily skins to a thinner layer, because of the absorption limit of the product. The ideal amount for the face and neck is a teaspoon of moisturizer. The very thin layer may not provide adequate moisturizing.

Moisturizer that does you good

Just being a cream or a lotion does not help, it is important that the product contains moisturizing actives that ensure that the skin actually replenishes the oil and the moisture lost with dryness.

A good ally for this is the Fisiogel® daily hydration line, the moisturizer most recommended by dermatologists.

The advantage of the Fisiogel® line is its unique BioMimic® technology , which has a lamellar structure, similar to the physical and chemical structure of the skin barrier, respecting the needs of the skin²³. In addition, the products bring ceramides, fatty acids and cholesterol in its formula, essential nutrients for the proper functioning of the skin. In this way, the Fisiogel® line provides a triple moisturizing action: emollient, humectant and restorative of the skin barrier. Therefore, it is ideal for dry and sensitive skin and has been clinically tested for this profile ² ³.

In addition to being tailored to the skin, the daily hydration line acts directly on the skin and has immediate and prolonged action . To complete, they are products hypoallergenic and free of substances that cause irritation to the skin, being moisturizers of daily use adult and infantil² ³.

The Fisiogel® line of Daily Hydration Therapy consists of two moisturizers, indicated especially for dry and sensitive skin, as it contains the lipids necessary to restore its natural balance. Fisiogel® Cream Lotion and Fisiogel® Cream are free of conventional emulsifiers, colorants, preservatives and perfumes in their formulation ² ³.

Ethnic fashion: know how to mix several cultures in one look

The folk textures make up the ethnic style, which blends various cultures into one look. The inspiration also comes from the 1970s, a time when hippies valued plurality, oriental wisdom and nature. All this is now renewed, under the influence of mixing ethnic pieces brought on trips to refined embroidery or to genuine tribal elements.
