Dryness & dehydration
Extreme dryness is when your skin really struggles to make its own oil meaning that your skin feels constantly itchy, dry, and tight. You may also experience scaly patches on your face as well as persistent redness. Extreme dryness often goes hand in hand with increased sensitivity too.
Always check with your dermatologist to see if this concern may require specific treatment. If so, you will be able to build your medical treatments into your daily routine.
With extreme dryness it’s best to treat your skin as gently as possible. This means avoiding fragrance, including natural fragrances, denatured alcohols, and mint or citrus extracts. Best practice is to use products which are suitable for sensitive skin as these shouldn’t include any irritating ingredients.
Unsurprisingly the focus for you should be on hydration. This will help to soothe your skin as well as diminishing the appearance of any dry patches. Cream moisturisers, hydrating serums, and richer moisturisers are all your friends. If you have any other skin concerns which you would like to treat, build that element into your serums but prioritise hydration.
