Everyone has suffered from it at some point: dry skin. This tight feeling and the unhealthy appearance of your skin are of course something you would rather avoid. We will tell you what you can do to get a wonderfully radiant skin again, without dry spots!
What exactly is dry skin?
Dry skin is skin that feels dry and can sometimes be flaky and tight. The skin can become very itchy and red due to dryness.
How does dry skin develop?
When you clean your skin often with soap and water, your skin will be clean, but unfortunately this will also cause dry skin. Because your skin is often washed with soap and water, the oily layer is washed away from your skin. It is best to use a cleanser that is specially developed for dry skin.
During the winter months, you may suffer more from dry skin due to the dry, freezing cold and chilly wind outside.
Do's:
- Use a facial cleanser that is specially formulated for dry skin . Cleaning your face normally dries out your facial skin. By choosing a facial cleanser for dry skin, you ensure that the damage is limited.
- Use a nourishing and hydrating facial cream every morning and evening on cleansed and dry skin.
- Use a mask for dry skin at least twice a week; this helps to maintain the condition of the skin.
- Drink lots of water. This not only works for dry skin, but also for flawless skin from the inside out.
Don'ts:
- When cleaning the skin, do not use water that is too hot. It is best to do this with lukewarm water.
- Avoid excessive scrubbing on dry skin.
- Do not use aggressive cleaning products.
- Limit the use of tanning beds. This causes additional dehydration of the skin.
How do I use foundation for dry skin?
Foundation can quickly look unnatural on dry skin. Do you still want to apply foundation? Here's how to do it!
Step 1: Prime!
Always use a primer before applying foundation to your face. A primer provides extra care and hydration to your skin. A primer leaves a layer of silicone on your face, which keeps moisture on your face.
Step 2: Tools
When applying foundation to your dry skin, it is best to use a sponge . The application with a sponge is softer for the face than with your fingers or a brush. With a sponge you prevent yourself from wiping on the face. This causes less dry skin.
Step 3: Foundation
Which foundation is best for dry skin?
When you suffer from dry skin, it is very important that you use the right foundation . With dry skin, it is best to use a liquid foundation and not a powder foundation. Choose a foundation with a shiny effect; this way, your dry skin is much less noticeable. If you choose a matte foundation, you only accentuate that you suffer from dry skin.
Step 4: Powder
Be frugal with powder. Powder makes dry spots and blemishes on your skin extra visible. If you really want to use powder, use as little powder as possible. Apply the powder with a soft powder brush and ensure as little friction as possible.
And voilà, your skin looks radiant again <3
