The hazards of skin dehydration
- The skin will become rough and tense. The water content of the stratum corneum of the skin is generally 20-30%. When the water content is less than 10%, the normal metabolism of the stratum corneum cannot proceed.
- The skin will produce fine wrinkles. The skin’s epidermis’s ability to hold water decreases, resulting in dry lines.
- Prone to stains. The water in the pigment cells of the skin and the surrounding cell fluid are severely dehydrated, which makes the pigment aggravate.
- The skin becomes sensitive. Lack of water will cause the skin’s capillaries to dilate, and the skin’s resistance will decrease, making it vulnerable to external stimuli.
Identify whether the skin is dehydrated
- One hour after washing the face, the whole face still faces tension.
- When touching the skin with the palm, there is no moisturizing feeling.
- The skin is itchy, and the skin on the site is dry and peeling.
- Itchy after bathing, especially on the back and limbs.
How to care for dry skin
- Face: Use moisturizing skincare products in the morning and evening after cleansing, and apply moisturizing mask three a week for 15-20 minutes each time.
- Hands: Hand cream after each hand washing to nourish the hands. Adhere to hand care for a long time to make the hand skin moisturized and tender.
- Body: Make a habit of applying body lotion after bathing every day.
Moisturizing ingredients
- Ceramide
The content of ceramide affects the dryness of the skin. It is a lipid that exists in the skin and plays an important role in the formation of the epidermal stratum corneum. When the skin is dry and dehydrated, skin supplementation with ceramide can quickly restore moisturizing and barrier functions.
- Centella asiatica extract
Madecassoside has a good polymerization effect with the phospholipids in the stratum corneum. In addition, Centella Asiatica extract also contains hydrophilic triterpene saponin compounds that can significantly increase the hydration of the stratum corneum, replenish skin moisture, and coordinately repair the skin barrier function.
- Amino acid
The molecular structure of amino acids is easier to penetrate into our skin, repair skin cell vitality, promote skin metabolism, and stimulate cell regeneration. At the same time, amino acids also have a highly effective moisturizing effect, keeping the skin moisturized and elastic.
- Glycerin (glycerol)
Glycerin is a component present in our skin, which can fill the intercellular substance and absorb the proper amount of water to maintain cell stability. However, it is not recommended to use glycerin in excessively dry areas, because glycerin will not release moisture after being absorbed and will cause the skin to lose more moisture.
- Squalane
Squalane is a kind of lipid closest to human sebum. It has high chemical stability and good use feeling. It has a good affinity to the skin and is not easy to cause irritation and allergies. It not only has a moisturizing effect but also repairs damaged cells and helps The balance between skin and sebum.
- Vitamin B5 (panthenol)
Vitamin B5 can strengthen the hydration function of normal skin and improve dry and rough skin. Moreover, it can strengthen the skin barrier function, promote the normal keratinization of the skin and improve the tolerance of the skin.
