Dry skin homemade facial

Introduction

Dry skin is a very common issue that most people experience every now and then, due to factors such as improper hydration, harsh weather, excessive exposure to the sun, the use of chemical products and makeup and many more.

There are also people whose skin type is naturally on the dry side and who have to be extra careful in their skin care routine.

Dry skin is problematic for many reasons. Its dull, aged and flaky appearance is certainly unappealing and the lack of natural moisture causes a feeling of tightness and discomfort. Because of all this, dryness, which is not a serious skin problem per se, should definitely be fixed so the skin can look right and feel right.

A special dry skin care routine should be used every day, combining gentle cleansing and generous moisturizing. However, it is strongly recommended to combine these efforts with occasional extra measures, such as applying special facial masks. Since dry skin is often sensitive as well, it is recommended to use only natural, homemade ones, which are less likely to irritate the skin.

Facial masks for dry skin combine ingredients that soothe and deeply nourish the skin, replenish natural moisture and prevent further drying.
