Skin dryness? Little guide to help your face

To fight acne prone skin, we tend to take harsh treatments causing a massive dryness, and disturbing the skin pH and hydrolipidic barrier. The epidermis becomes extra-sensitive, irritated, dry and subject to peeling: to counteract this, we have decided to give you some advice on how to deal with these side effects.

« No, I don’t want no scrub »

In order to remove dead skin we tend to exfoliate a bit too much with scrubs made from grains. For skins under treatments, this method is far too aggressive. We therefore recommend that you gently wash your face in the morning using a Konjac sponge with pink clay. This will allow you to exfoliate without harming. In addition, pink clay is well known to be suitable for sensitive and reactive skin. In addition, there are also enzymatic scrubs such as the Daily Microfoliant Exfoliant from Dermalogica which allows you to gently get rid of dead cells.

Hydration is key

Keeping your skin hydrated is extremely important. In addition to a rich moisturizer and a suitable serum, Korean cosmetology recommends the use of facial essences. Facial essences are the first step in a strong beauty routine. This allows you to hydrate deeply and welcome the treatments that follow. The Hydra B3 Essence from SVR is very effective for sensitive skin: composed of vitamin B3 and hyaluronic acid, it deeply rehydrates the skin.

Lip Balms are the new lipsticks 

Under treatment, the lips also have their share of dryness. This is why they must be continually hydrated to avoid cracks and chapping. Like the Organic Balm from Girl Smells: ultra hydrating, they come in different shades: to hydrate your lips while enhancing them!

Inside and outside

Diet plays a predominant role in hydrating the skin. Favor foods rich in essential fatty acids, such as fish from cold seas: salmon, mackerel, herring, they are packed in omega-3 and omega-6. Also, a handful of dried fruits like almonds, cashews give your body a little hydrating plus. In addition, there are also food supplements rich in vitamins which allow you to find the perfect balance for your skin, like the capsules “On veut… Une peau pétale de rose” from Atelier Nubio with its heart of antioxidant cold-pressed juice from Freja™.
