Dry skin:

Dry skin indicates that your skin isn’t producing enough of its essential natural oils whereas too much oil produced could also lead to breakouts and acne. The main ingredient of your body’s natural oils is Sebum oil, which helps the skin to naturally hydrate by retaining water on the outer layers of the skin, protecting and moisturizing it.

We all need the right amount of sebum oil to make skin healthy, glowing and moisturized.

If your skin isn’t producing enough sebum then you might experience these symptoms as I experienced along with dry skin.

• Itching
• Flaking
• Redness

Example of healthy food that helped me:

Tangerines are a rich source of vitamin A & C along with beta-carotene. They played a vital role in maintaining my skin moisture and prevented dryness.

Its effects:

Vitamin C in tangerines triggers the collagen in the skin that helps in the reduction of wrinkles, fine lines, and speeds up the skin regeneration process. It also minimizes the damage caused by the sun and pollution.

The main causes of dry facial skin?

Here are some of the most common causes of dry facial skin.

• Environment

The environment we live in has an immense impact on our facial skin as it’s the most exposed part of the body.

If we’re living in a hot, dry climate, we’ll experience facial dryness and would have to work a lot to make it moisturized and hydrated. 

• Genes

Genes can also be a cause of dry facial skin because they determine what skin type we are. Some have naturally oily skin, while some have a little dry. No skin type is either good or bad. It’s important to know our skin type and understand how to take care of it.

• Aging

Aging is also the main cause of dry skin. As we get older, our skin ages and produces less sebum. Less sebum means less moisture and more dry flaky skin. Aging also makes it difficult to retain water, causing dehydration.

• Lifestyle

Lifestyle choices may also cause dry facial skin. Treatment and prevention are necessary. 

1. Smoking
2. Drinking too much alcohol
3. Excessive tanning 
4. Spending too much time in direct sunlight

What is the solution:

One can easily notice dry and flaky skin on a woman’s face. To top it all off, dry facial skin is more irritating and infuriating than dry skin on other parts of the body. Serums and ointments were very useful in my case as they are normally used to hydrate skin and restore water moisture. So, if you want to say goodbye to flaky and dry parched skin on your face and make it baby smooth, then you should try A7heavens products. My experience with their products was worth appreciating. I have also tried some other products of different brands, but they didn’t work out for me. A7heavens had become my go-to online shopping store for skincare and beauty products. It is the best online makeup store in Dubai consisting of all high quality and best makeup brands including cosmetics, skincare products, beauty products, etc. One can also find Korean beauty products there.

 A7heavens ‘’de oklm Deep Moisturizing serum 50ml’’ is everything one needs to try for dry skin. It contains Pentavitin, an ingredient of water magnet locking care that provides the strongest hydrating effect on the skin. It’s Vegan and comes from South Korea’s paradise – JEJU ISLAND. This was my holy grail product which I used for the treatment of my dry parched skin.

You’ll experience more hydrated, youthful, smooth, and rejuvenated skin while using this product. It is the most effective and reliable way to heal your dry facial skin and help you get rid of wrinkles and fine lines by creating the perfect microclimate between the patch and the surface of your skin. This microclimate works by allowing maximum revival, rejuvenation, and reduction of visible wrinkles and fine lines.

8 Tips for hydrated skin that worked for me:

1.   Use Lukewarm Water:

Always use lukewarm water to wash your face.

2.   Good Facial Cleansers:

Soaps are usually harsh for our delicate facial skin. Always use a good and gentle facial cleanser with moisturizing, natural ingredients, and oils.

Example:

• Midha rice face wash

• Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser

3.   Gentle Cleansing: 

Avoid scrubbing your skin vigorously. Apply the cleanser to your face gently and carefully rinse it away with lukewarm water.

4.   Exfoliation:

Exfoliate once or twice per week to get younger-looking, healthier skin.

 Example:

Axis-Y Mugwort Pore Clarifying Wash Off Pack

Consists of 61% Mugwort extract, helps in cleansing the pores of impurities, soothes inflamed and irritated skin, and gently exfoliates dead skin to reveal a bright and healthy complexion.

 

5.   Use The Right Kind Of Moisturizer:

Some moisturizers can dry out your skin. So it’s very important to look out for good products with ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, sunflower seed oil, and other anti-aging plant extracts while choosing a moisturizer.

Examples:

• A7 Heavens ‘’Midha Rice Cream’’. 

 

• Cerave Moisturizing Cream 

These moisturizers have a brightening, moisturizing, and whitening effect on the skin, leaving it moist.

6.   Don’t Rub Your Face:

Gently pat your skin with a soft towel after showering or washing your face. 

7.   Eat healthily And Drink Plenty Of Water:

Healthy skin needs Omega-3 fatty acids. Include foods like almonds, salmon, and avocado, fruits, and vegetables in your diet. Also include vitamin C enriched food.

8.   Protect Your Face From The Sunlight:

Avoid spending unnecessary time in sunlight and use sunscreen before going out even if it’s not sunny outside but still, the sun’s powerful UV rays can damage your skin.

Example:

• Midha UV Protect Rice Sun Cream SPF 50+

It’s made from Rice Bran extracts & is chemical and paraben-free and helps in the prevention of aging and contains Broad Spectrum SPF 50+, PA+++. It naturally soothes, hydrates, and relaxes the skin while protecting against UVA & UVB rays for a longer duration. 

 

• Neutrogena Ultra Dry-Touch Sunscreen SPF 55

Conclusion:

Dry facial skin is common these days. But good and high-quality products like de oklm Deep Moisturizing serum 50ml, Cerave Moisturizing Cream can be useful in reviving and rehydrating your skin overnight! 

Also, use the 8 tips discussed above to make the skin hydrated, and glowing.
