Signs and symptoms can include a rough texture to the touch, flaking or itching, a dull lifeless complexion, a lack of clarity, a sensation of tightness or discomfort, more visible fine lines, and a noticeable loss of that glow you might normally experience. If you are one of many countless individuals who exhibits these types of symptoms during colder months and would like to rehydrate and nourish your skin, we would encourage you to follow these 8 simple tips.
Briefly, a friendly reminder of the differences between dry and dehydrated skin: dryness refers to a lack of oil in the skin, while dehydration refers to a lack of water. In this article, we aim to provide some guidance that will help to correct both, as both dryness and dehydration are equally common issues during colder periods.
Keeping skin hydrated will be all for naught if it simply evaporates through the skin’s surface in a process called Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL). An occlusive is an ingredient that is long-lasting on the skin’s surface and sits there like a shield, keeping products sandwiched in below and preventing TEWL. Examples include lanolin, cholesterol, squalene, jojoba, and various other plant-derived oils and wax esters.
Keeping the skin well nourished and hydrated is absolutely essential in maintaining optimal skin health, and delaying damage and signs of ageing for as long as possible. A great example is wet vs dry healing. Many years ago, we used to believe that a wound should be kept dry in order for it to heal best and that leaving the area moist would incur infection. We now know that tissue repair is improved tenfold when kept moist, not dry. This applies to our skin health in a general sense, and when it becomes dry, its functions can be disrupted, including our natural barrier. This can lead to infections, inflammation, and faster breakdown of collagen and elastin, which of course means wrinkle formation.
For this winter, remember to drink plenty of fluids, pay close attention to the signs your skin is giving you, and above all: moisturise!
