Dry skin
Up to fifty percent of the population has dry skin and its various manifestations. A rough and coarse surface, redness or peeling are among its basic manifestations. Cracks and a feeling of tension may also appear. Dry skin is not only a problem for atopics or people with eczema. It doesn't even depend on age and gender. The natural restoration of the skin barrier is disturbed by many unfavorable external and internal factors, which subsequently affect the balance in the hydration process. This is excessive loss of water. Genetics also play a big role."
Symptoms of dry skin are scales and tight, dry skin. If you have very sensitive skin and the difficulties persist for a long time, it is probably the so-called atopic skin. You can have dry spots even on normally normal skin, which can have various causes. Such problems can be solved with appropriate cosmetics and a proper lifestyle.
What is the cause of dry skin?

Lack of healthy fats and vitamins in the diet
Cold and windy weather - especially frost
Excessive exposure to sunlight
Stay in air-conditioned rooms
Too frequent consumption of alcohol and coffee, smoking
Skin diseases
It is important to start fighting dehydration internally. Drink at least 2 liters of water a day, clean, without bubbles and sweeteners. Calmly start the morning with a glass of still water with a drop of lemon.
Excessive and long-term consumption of coffee is not good for your skin either. Instead, replace it with green tea, add juicy fruit, vitamins A, C, E. Beware of spending too much time in the sun and in air-conditioned rooms.
Dry skin can also be "acquired" by inappropriate skin cosmetics and treatments.
Focus on your skin type and choose the right products accordingly. Oils are not suitable for dry skin. Since your skin especially needs a moisturizing component, i.e. water, look for products with higher water content and lower fat content.
For intensive skin regeneration, take a treatment with hyaluronic serum and combine with moisturizer.
