Skincare for dry skin: tips for a perfect beauty routine

Dry facial skin can be particularly annoying: the skin is thin, dull, dull, rough to the touch and with a tendency to flaking.

It is characterized by poorly visible pores and a feeling of tension, itching and sometimes burning: in fact, dry skin can easily be sensitive skin .

Furthermore, dry skin is also one of the major causes of premature skin aging, as it produces less sebum than normal and this makes it more exposed to certain environmental factors, but also to more aggressive drugs, fabrics or cosmetics.

What are the main causes of dry skin and how to prevent blemishes

The first step in the hydration loss process is actually given by the loss of lipids on the surface that form the so-called hydrolipidic film . When this barrier is damaged, hydration tends to evaporate and the vital substances that bind to water are easily eliminated when washing: the skin can no longer hold a sufficient amount of water and becomes dehydrated.
For this reason, you have to pay attention to the products you use. In fact, when you come into contact with some ingredients, as the hydrolipidic film is no longer functional, allergens, irritants, pollutants and microorganisms can penetrate more easily causing skin reactions.

The main factors that contribute to drying the skin are: extreme climatic conditions and sudden changes of season; excessive sun exposure and lack of adequate protection; frequent washing that does nothing but further alter the pH of the skin, as well as contact with water that is too hot and calcareous; smoking, drugs and medical therapies; hormonal changes; poorly balanced diet and poor hydration; unsuitable cosmetics and treatments.

The first tip, before proceeding with a correct skincare for dry skin , is to hydrate from the inside, drinking at least two liters of water a day. In addition, drinking a lot also helps to purify the body by eliminating waste and toxins: the result is a visibly brighter skin.
Eating fruit and vegetables regularly, being rich in vitamins and mineral salts, also helps to provide a good supply of water. Now let’s find out in detail what is the beauty routine for dry skin and what are the indispensable products.

Skincare routine for dry skin: steps and helpful products

The correct treatment for dry skin is essential to reduce the typical signs of this type of skin.
Nourishing and moisturizing products, with a creamy texture or rich in hyaluronic acid , help stimulate the synthesis of collagen.Venus face products, made with the highest quality ingredients, are designed precisely for this, to fight the first signs of age and show off perfect skin that does not stretch: from intensive serums with collagen to treatment with hyaluronic acid and anti-aging filler intensive, there is really plenty of choice!

Double cleansing

Cleansing is the essential first step in any skincare routine. The double cleansing, in particular, is perfect for those with very dry skin and guarantees a deep and thorough cleansing.
The first step is to use an oily cleanser, an oil with a gelatinous consistency or a butter, which removes all the impurities located on the surface: make-up residues, sunscreens and pollution particles. You can also use a special microfiber cloth to remove everything well, before moving on to the aqueous phase . The latter involves the use of a foaming cleanser , preferably in mousse, to be massaged into the skin with circulatory movements, and then rinse everything.
In the morning you can decide to wash your face with only one of the two cleansers, the oily one or the delicate foaming cleanser .

Exfoliation and moisturizing mask

In case of dry skin, it is important to exfoliate it regularly (1-2 times a week). Exfoliation revives pores, removes dead cells and thoroughly cleanses the skin. It can be done with a scrub , then through mechanical exfoliation , or with a peeling , then with chemical exfoliation .
Also twice a week, depending on your needs, you can also apply a nourishing cream mask . For the evening routine, there are also masks on the market that can be worked all night.

Tonics, serums and boosters

Before moving on to the serum (or booster, in the case of concentrated products) you can decide to treat the skin with a moisturizing tonic or with an essence , to refresh and soothe the skin.
With the skin still wet with essence, a hyaluronic acid booster can be applied which, being a hydrophilic substance , penetrates better if the skin is moist.

Eye contour cream and face cream

The eye contour area is very delicate and should be hydrated with a specific product, specially designed for that part of the face. The product should be tapped around the eye with the ring finger until completely absorbed. After this step, we can finally move on to the actual hydration phase by applying our face cream . If the cream is not rich enough, we can add a few drops of face oil .

Sun protection
Even in winter, for self-respecting skincare, you must always protect yourself from UV rays.
There are specific formulas for the skin of the face and décolleté with a moisturizing, nourishing, regenerating and antioxidant action.
