Many women suffer from (extremely) dry facial skin. However, many men may also experience this, as well as babies, toddlers, and older children.
What causes dry skin? And, more importantly, how do you get rid of it (as quickly as possible)? This article summarises what you need to know, including tips for treating and caring for your skin.
Symptoms
Dry facial skin easily leads to flaking and peeling skin. Red patches are also common, along with itching.
Causes
One of your skin’s most important functions is moisture regulation. This is aided by a protective barrier. However, this layer doesn’t always function properly. As a result, moisture evaporates from your skin, which leads to dryness.
How do you lose this protection? Excessive washing and showering is one cause, as it literally washes away the oily outer layer.
Winter is also a well-known cause of dry skin. A combination of cold air and indoor heating results in the protective layer becoming thinner. Pregnancy, allergies, alcohol, stress and sunlight can also lead to dry skin. But enough about the causes. You want to know what you can do about it.
Advice
Do you suspect that showering or washing too frequently could be causing your dry skin? If so, take fewer showers. In any case, use soap less often. Soap removes your oily, protective layer.

Choose a moisturiser for dry skin that restores your skin barrier
If you suffer from dry facial skin, the solution may seem obvious: use a moisturising cream. But it’s not quite that simple.
You will not benefit from the cream if your protective layer is not repaired. Without this layer, the supplementary moisture will evaporate as quickly as it’s applied. What you need is a cream that not only hydrates, but also restores the outer layer of your skin. You need a cream like ours – ALHYDRAN.
