Dry skin – characterized by reduced production of sebum, which is a natural oil produced by the sebaceous glands of the skin. In dry skin, these glands do not produce enough sebum, which leads to a lack of skin hydration and elasticity. Dry skin is therefore more susceptible to moisture loss, check whether your skin tends to dry out and flake, which may cause discomfort and a feeling of tightness. That is why dry skin needs intensive care to restore its natural balance and elasticity. You may notice more visible lines and wrinkles, especially around the mouth and eyes, and redness will be more visible than in other skin types. Dry skin is prone to irritation and allergic reactions, so choosing the right cosmetics is crucial.
Dry skin, although beautiful, requires special attention and gentleness in the cleansing process. Moisturization, protection against moisture loss and dryness are the basic care goals that are worth including in your daily routine.
Here are some tips on how to effectively cleanse dry skin to enjoy its healthy and radiant appearance.

Avoid products containing strong detergents, alcohol, retinoids and acids, which can further dry the skin and make it irritated and prone to irritation. Use cold or lukewarm water to minimize moisture loss and avoid irritating the skin.
Exfoliation
Dry skin is often characterized by a tendency to exfoliate, which leads to roughness, dryness and uneven color. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, revealing healthier and radiant skin. Exfoliation also helps with better absorption of moisturizing creams and serums, which improves the overall condition of the skin.
Mechanical exfoliation: Gentle enzymatic peels or products containing exfoliating particles. Avoid grains that are too hard as they may irritate the skin.
Chemical exfoliation: Glycolic or lactic acid are ingredients that may be beneficial for dry skin. They help gently dissolve dead skin cells while moisturizing and revitalizing the skin.
