Dry skin looks different for different folks. It can manifest in the form of flaky, scaly skin texture. Or may cause incredible discomfort with an itching, burning, or stinging sensation. Regardless of the signs, treating dryness is crucial. This is where we come into the picture. To help revive dry, flaky skin, we are bringing you Foxtale-approved tips and products. After all, your skin deserves only the best.
But First, What Is Dry Skin?
Many believe dryness to be a skin concern, but that is untrue. Dry skin is one of the 5 skin types (dry, normal, oily, combination, and sensitive). It is characterized by the skin’s ability to lose moisture quickly and dramatically.
What Are Some Symptoms Of Dry Skin?
We have discussed some dry skin symptoms in this article’s introduction. Here are some more
Uncomfortable tightness
Itchiness or irritation
Cracks in the skin
Rough texture
Loose, wrinkly skin
Dullness
Is Dry Skin The Same As Dehydrated Skin?
A rookie mistakes made by many – confusing dry and dehydrated skin. To help you better understand, here’s an explanation of the two terms
1. Dry skin: The skin carries sebaceous glands (or oil glands) that produce oils. These oils are responsible for your skin’s natural moisturization, ensuring its soft, supple feel. If your skin generates less than adequate oils, it's most likely dry.
2. Dehydrated skin: Unlike dryness, dehydration is a skin concern. It occurs when your skin's moisture reservoir starts running low on water.
P.S. Perpetual skin dryness can lead to dehydration.
What Are Some Triggers For Dry Skin?
To employ the best dry skin products, you should be well-versed in the triggers. Ahead, we list the most common triggers for dry, flaky skin
1. Ageing makes your skin thinner and simultaneously reduces its oil-producing capabilities.
2. Harsh skincare and beauty products can impair the lipid barrier, cause inflammation, and lead to skin dryness.
3. Overwashing or over-exfoliation removes moisture molecules from the skin, making it dry and uncomfortably tight.
4. Extreme hot and cold temperatures can also dry your skin.
5. Sitting in air-conditioned chambers can sap the moisture from your skin, making it dry, flaky, and tight.
