Why so dry?

The cornerstone of healthy skin lies in the moisture content of your complexion. While multiple factors go into preventing the most common signs of aging, one that can’t be ignored is the importance of keeping skin hydrated. Without a moisturized surface, the epidermis can’t be the protector and barrier that the skin needs.

This post instructs on: How to tell if your skin is not properly hydrated.

First and foremost, the driest parts of the face are the forehead, the cheeks, and under the eyes. If you notice any of the 5 following things, see a skin care specialist right away to find a solution.

1. Your skin feels uncomfortably tight.

2. Fine lines and wrinkles are visible due to being excessively dry.

3. Skin looks sallow in color and is dull, flat, and lifeless.

4. Minutes after washing your face, it feels dry again.

5. Skin is flaky (either all over or in select areas), cracked, or has dry patches. Overly dry skin can also be extremely itchy.

While having regular skin care services is a major plus for balancing the moisture content of your skin, that is only half the battle. The other half is going to be your home care regimen and what it consists of. If you are investing in skin care treatments, but then you aren’t protecting the investment by using the wrong or less than effective at-home products, your just creating a never-ending cycle of unlikely desired results.

Most skin care facilities will offer complimentary consultations, which can include an evaluation of what kinds of services, products, or both would be ideal for you.
