Dry skin

what is dry skin?

It is often more cracked than normal skin , fine-pored, feels rough, tends to flake and appears pale or dull: dry skin lacks moisture. This is often related to an underactive sebaceous gland: Because they produce less sebum, the protective acid mantle of your skin cannot stabilize. This means that the moisture from your skin evaporates more quickly. The result is dry skin – also known as xerosis.

Dry skin is uncomfortable because it is more delicate and sensitive than normal skin. It also has a greater tendency to form wrinkles because the skin surface is less elastic.

WHAT CARE FOR DRY SKIN?

Caring for dry skin is primarily about regulating the skin's natural moisturizing factors (NMS). To do this, you need a care program that hydrates your skin and also restores the skin's own protective acid mantle. Valuable amino acids as well as urea and hyaluronic acid are important ingredients here, as they can plump up the skin and strengthen the connective tissue and tension. The supply of trace elements and panthenol is also essential for dry skin, as it protects against inflammation caused by external influences.

TIPS FOR DRY SKIN

Tip 1: Moisturize

Your skin is lacking moisture, so you need to give it some. A moisturizer with urea and hyaluronic acid are effective ways to bind moisture in the skin and refresh the skin. Make sure that your facial care can create occlusive cell protection. This means that it supports the skin's own protective acid mantle and ensures that the moisture from the skin does not evaporate too quickly.

Tip 2: pH neutrality

Cleaning products with alkalis and surfactants are absolutely not suitable for cleaning dry skin: they damage the skin's own protective barrier and thereby only dry out the skin further. Choose a facial cleanser that gently and pH-neutrally cleanses your skin without drying out the skin further.

Tip 3: Lifestyle habits

Dry skin is often the result of an unhealthy lifestyle: cigarettes and alcohol overly dry the body and skin, causing wrinkles and inflammation. But direct sunlight is also dangerous, especially for people who tend to have dry skin. You should avoid UV light accordingly and use suitable sun protection.

Tip 4: Lots of water

The moisture in your skin can't come from your moisturizer alone: ​​you also need to drink plenty of fluids! The rule of thumb is at least 30 ml of water per kilogram of body weight. Clear water is perfect for this, but unsweetened teas or occasional juice spritzers are also ok.

Received, unpacked and tested immediately; Just a dream. I love The concept. Great quality, a cream that is tailored exactly to my needs and very effective. I noticed the first improvements after just one week: softer, smooth skin, fewer wrinkles in the morning and fewer pimples in the forehead area. Thanks, will definitely order again.

My dermatologist advised me to do more for my mature skin. I came across Sober on the Internet. I have been using the Hydra Defense face cream for 2 months. With success! I'm very satisfied. Thanks!

Timeshift Anti-Aging Serum - A great product for daily skin care. The serum has a pleasant smell, perhaps due to the green tea extract it contains. I have applied it daily and it feels very comfortable on the skin. Great product and would be happy again...

Best facewash I have ever used

Ernest H.

Risking to sound too overexcited, this is really the best I've tried! My skin feels very soft even after the first use, and the effect never disappoints. Redness has improved considerably; pores, too. Additionally to daily cleaning, once a week I leave it on my skin for a few minutes, and I can feel a good but gentle peeling effect. Simply everything is nice about it, including packaging, look, smell etc. One small space for improvement: the dispenser sometimes chokes or gives out very little, but it recovers after another push.
