What are the signs that our skin is dry?
Dry skin is a common problem that can affect anyone, regardless of age or skin type. The signs of skin dehydration include:
- Tightness: A feeling of tight skin, especially after washing.
- Flaking: Peeling skin or small scales.
- Redness: Red and irritated areas may appear.
- Dull complexion: Dry skin can lack radiance and appear dull.
- Itching: Itching may occur, further aggravating dryness.
Recognizing these signs early allows you to adopt good habits to effectively rehydrate the skin.
Tips for Optimal Hydration
Drink Enough Water
The first step to well-hydrated skin starts from within. Drinking enough water each day is essential. Generally, it is recommended to consume about 8 glasses of water per day, which is approximately 2 liters. However, these needs can vary depending on your physical activity, environment, and diet. Proper hydration helps maintain skin elasticity and prevent signs of dryness.
Apply the Right Treatments for Your Skin to Absorb Moisturizing Products
Applying moisturizing products is crucial, but the skin must be ready to absorb them effectively. Here are some tips:
- Exfoliate regularly: Exfoliation removes dead cells on the skin’s surface, promoting better absorption of moisturizing products. Our microdermabrasion and BELA MD treatments can help you effectively get rid of dead skin.
- Use hydrating serums: Before applying a moisturizer, using a serum can help improve hydration. Serums often contain more concentrated active ingredients that penetrate deeper into the skin.
- Choose the right creams: Opt for creams that contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and peptides, which are known for their hydrating and repairing properties.
