Dry skin is characterized by lacks of oil (lipids).
The pores are small or barely visible. After cleansing, your face feels tight.
This type of skin needs extra moisture.
There is other very similar condition of the skin which is DEHYDRATION.
Dehydration means lack of WATER. You could see flaking on the skin.
This condition is very common for all skin types.
Home care regiment for DRY skin:
1) Cleanser: Lotion or Milky
2) Exfoliant: Gommage or EnzymesGommage is combination of chemical and mechanical method. Enzymes or gentle glycolic peel (AHA)
3) Toner: Very important, give moistureRemember NO Astringent.
It is a toner, but has higher percentage of alcohol.
4) Mask: Hydrating bases. Non setting mask, such as cucumber or aloe, stay moist.
There is also beneficial Paraffin wax mask, fruits mask, which I also suggest.
5) Moisturizers: Occlusive products also protect the skin's top barrier layer and HOLD in moisture which help to improve dryness.
Drinking pleny of water may help.
Facial treatments and home maintenance will help stimulate the oil production.
Remember, it is very important to protect DRY skin with moisturizers and serums.
