Take care of your skin: learn how to choose the best moisturizing cream for you

Any type of skin, even oily, can at any time be affected by dryness and dehydration. Regarding the causes of dehydration, we can differentiate between internal factors, typical of the organism, and external factors, related to poor skin care.

• Insufficient water supply
• An unbalanced diet
• Lack of vitamins in the diet
• Pathologies causing exaggerated water loss (vomiting, hemorrhages, dermatoses...)
• Taking certain medications (retinoids, laxatives, diuretics...)
• Abuse of alcohol and tobacco
• Stress

• Exposure to extreme temperatures
• The application of inappropriate products
• An excessively dry or polluted environment
• Regular contact with certain products (organic solvents, detergents, alkaline products, cement...)

How to detect if our skin is dehydrated? The feeling of tightness and lack of elasticity of the skin are obvious symptoms of dehydration. It is a localized and punctual sensation, if well treated, which is accentuated after cleansing and which can be a precursor to the appearance of scales. Depending on the degree of dehydration, a more or less intense feeling of tightness will be perceived.

The lack of softness is another symptom that can help us detect the lack of water in our skin. If it starts to flake as if it peels and generates itching, roughness and irritation, it is a symptom of dehydration.

A dehydrated skin tends to generate fewer pimples or imperfections, but is also more likely to present wrinkles due to premature aging. This is another symptom that can be associated with skin dehydration.

On the face, dehydration can be accentuated by noting dull skin, without vitality or very pronounced dark circles.

In the morning, cleanse your face, apply a tonic lotion to balance your skin, then a moisturizing serum, your avene moisturizing cream<\/a> for the day, your eye contour and finish with sunscreen. Yes, yes, sunscreen in winter too.

In the evening, you must repeat the procedure, including removing sunscreen and makeup if you use it.

When it comes to applying an amount of cream, we can be wrong by excess, believing that the results will be faster and better, or by default, trying to save the cream and leaving some parts of our face uncovered.

What is recommended is an amount similar to the size of a 5 cent coin, so that you have enough to cover all the skin, but not too much to waste it.

Attention! For better absorption of the moisturizing cream, the ideal is to spread it from the lower part of the face to the upper part<\/a>, making circles with your fingers, thus stimulating blood circulation.
