What to do about dry skin

Do you suffer from dry, itchy, and perhaps even irritated skin? You're certainly not alone. Especially during the winter months, our skin endures a lot, and you can quickly feel tight or experience extremely dry skin. Fortunately, there are several tips and tricks to give your dry facial skin the care it needs, such as a rich ointment. In this blog post, we discuss what to do about dry skin.

What does good skincare consist of?

Itchy skin can be annoying and can have various causes. For some, makeup can make their skin drier, while for others, dehydration is a major culprit. A good skincare routine is therefore different for everyone, but there are a few steps and products that work against dry skin, regardless of the cause.

Prevent dry skin

When you don't drink enough water, you become dehydrated. A lack of fluids makes you tired more quickly, gives you little energy, and can cause headaches. Your facial skin is also affected, becoming—you guessed it—dryer. Your skin lacks moisture. The best solution for dry skin is to drink enough, about 2.5 liters of water per day. It's important to drink enough water when you're dehydrated. Wetting your face is pointless. In fact, long, hot showers have a negative effect on sensitive skin. Be careful with frequent use of hot water, as this creates a dry atmosphere, which in turn dries out your skin faster. Although a hot shower is tempting on cold winter days, it's better to take shorter, cold showers. This is not only better for your skin, but also for your wallet!

Apply a greasy cream

Besides moisturizing, it's also important to use the right products for very dry skin. Dermatologists recommend a cream containing healthy fats for dry skin. Therefore, massage a nourishing cream into the dry area of your face twice a day. Consider creams like All Purpose Skin Cream Sea Kelp & Vitamin E or All Purpose Skin Cream Original. Tallow is one of the best ingredients for extremely dry skin. Its fatty acid profile is virtually identical to your own skin, creating a natural protective layer. It's also one of the best natural moisturizers you can find without irritants. Ideal for dry facial skin!

Use Tallow for dry skin

For example, if your cheeks feel rough or your forehead is dry, it's important to drink plenty of water and apply a cream or ointment to the dry area twice a day. A cream specially formulated with Tallow is best for chapped skin. Some people worry that a greasy cream will make their skin oily. This isn't the case with Tallow, as this ingredient maintains and restores your skin's natural oil profile. But why is this ingredient good for dehydrated skin? Tallow contains lipids, which are responsible for the free flow of moisture in and out of our cells. It maintains the moisture content of your skin's cells and prevents damage. It also keeps your skin supple.

Use the SOS Repair Balm for extremely damaged facial skin.

Some people have congenital skin conditions, very sensitive skin, or irritations such as eczema or flaky skin. Tallow's SOS Repair Balm is a true miracle cure for these conditions. This concentrated balm contains high-quality tallow, rich in vitamins A, B12, D, E, and K, which allows it to optimally repair your skin. Besides its soothing and protective properties, the balm also cools the skin, relieving irritation and itching. This way, your dry skin gets exactly what it needs!
