Body Care For Dry Skin
Dry skin is a beauty concern that many people share. Tingling, tightness, cracking, itching, it has many impacts on our skin and our daily lives. The hydration step is then the solution to take care of this type of skin. Find all the tips and advice to perfect body care for dry skin, recognize this type of skin, how to take care of it and which product to favor.
How to recognize dry skin?
To recognize this type of skin, you must first trust the sensations. Skin that is tight, uncomfortable, slightly rough in certain areas or tense shows signs of dryness.
In the case of very dry skin, burning and itching sensations can even appear.
From a scientific point of view, the skin is made up of water and sebum. In the case of dry skin, the hydrolipidic film, formed by lipids, can no longer produce enough sebum to prevent the evaporation of water and protect it as it should. The skin then dries out on a daily basis.
This type of skin therefore requires care with a lipid (fat) supply that nourishes, unlike a moisturizing cream that only provides the water part. We will then need nutrition. The right combination for very dry skin will be to moisturize and then nourish the epidermis for long-lasting care.
What about sensitive skin?
Often confused or associated only with dry skin, sensitive skin is not strictly speaking a skin type. Oily skin, just like normal and dry skin, can be sensitive. It is a condition.
Sensitive skin is characterized by a reactive epidermis, subject to tingling, heating and itching. It is less tolerant of external aggressions, aggressive products or stress, and reacts accordingly.
Associated with the type of dry skin, the sensitive state will exacerbate the discomfort, and it will be necessary to set up a real routine of gentle and effective care.

–The products to use
For people who have dry skin as well as for pregnant women, it is then essential to moisturize your body and nourish it with suitable products in order to help the skin keep its hydration by strengthening the skin barrier. This will have the effect of relieving all these unpleasant sensations.
It is advisable to use a treatment providing lipids (fats) in addition to water. We will then talk about nutrition that can be provided by a body balm, an oil or nourishing and rich creams.
For women and men with mature skin, you must choose a product adapted to your age. The best option will be to use a nourishing oil.
Little tip: when applying your moisturizing and nourishing cream, take the time to always massage your body well, in order to make the treatment penetrate deep into the skin.

It is essential for dry skin to moisturize and nourish your skin daily.
