What are the characteristics of dry and atopic skin?
Dry skin types tend to become rough and feel tight as soon as they lack deep hydration . Thirsty skin is exactly what we experience when it feels tight .
Atopic skin , on the other hand, goes further: it's not only dry, but also hyper-reactive. You've probably already experienced that intense itching sensation or seen redness appear for no apparent reason. If your skin becomes red and irritated as soon as the weather changes, especially around the eyes, it's not just dryness; it's skin that needs a suitable moisturizer to soothe it.
Why do these skin types require special care?
Our dry and atopic skin is like a fragile shield. It reacts to the slightest change! Internal factors such as stress or hormones, as well as external factors such as cold, pollution or hard water, can further sensitize the skin.
A heavily perfumed cream or a product containing alcohol can wreak havoc on already fragile skin . To avoid these problems, opt for a nourishing skincare product for dry skin that maintains good hydration while soothing the skin. The goal: to restore the skin barrier, reduce the appearance of wrinkles , provide lasting relief, and restore the skin's softness. 🌸
Key steps for effective care
⭐ Gentle cleaning
Say goodbye to harsh cleansers ! Opt for a soap-free cleansing oil or gel specifically designed for dry and atopic skin. These preserve the skin's protective barrier and prevent tightness. A gentle cleanser suitable for delicate skin is essential for maintaining clean and healthy skin.
💧 Intense hydration, morning and evening
Dry and atopic skin is thirsty ! Apply a cream rich in nourishing active ingredients (ceramides, shea butter, hyaluronic acid) to restore the skin barrier, soothe irritation, and deeply hydrate the skin . A rich texture also helps smooth the skin's texture , leaving it feeling smooth and reducing discomfort.
If your skin feels tight , don't hesitate to complement your routine with a weekly hydrating mask for an extra dose of moisture .
🛡️ Everyday protection
Cold weather, pollution, and UV rays further weaken sensitive skin. Remember to apply sunscreen and a rich, protective balm to strengthen your skin while shielding it from external aggressors. A daily skincare routine helps maintain healthy skin and prevent irritation .
