Nourishing the skin in depth, the role of adry skin serum.
Discomfort, tightness, flaking, and cracking are the main signs of dry skin. Lacking lipids and water, dry skin is a skin type that requires a lot of hydration and nutrition to restore balance.
A dry skin serum is therefore ideal for dealing with this deficiency and countering dryness.
> How do I know if I have dry skin? And would a dry skin serum be recommended?
Recognizing dry or even very dry skin requires analyzing sensations. When the skin is dry, you feel discomfort and tightness even after applying a moisturizer. This means your skin needs nourishment.
Inflammation, redness, burning and cracking are also signs of dry skin.
Unlike dehydrated skin, which is a temporary skin condition, dry skin is a skin type. It is often permanent and/or genetic.
> Why do I have dry skin?
Skin, composed of water and lipids, can become dry. This dryness is caused by a lipid imbalance in the upper layer of the epidermis. There are several external factors that can cause dry skin:
- External aggressions: temperature changes, pollution, wind, sun
- Medical treatment
- Skin conditions: eczema, diabetes, etc.
- Skin aging
The arrival of winter can cause skin to become drier than usual. It's important to be careful not to confuse dehydration with dryness, as this can lead to over-nutrition, which can ultimately have a detrimental effect on the skin if it's simply dehydrated.
> Using a nourishing serum, what are the benefits?
Unlike a hydrating serum, a nourishing serum provides the skin with fatty elements to restore the skin barrier and protect it. It relieves feelings of discomfort while fighting dryness. By applying a serum to dry skin, the skin regains comfort and soothes. Well-nourished skin, for an ever-younger complexion.
Because lipids don't necessarily mean oily, the fluid texture of a facial serum for dry skin isn't unpleasant or sticky. Indeed, the non-greasy texture instantly penetrates the skin to deeply nourish it and prepare it for the benefits of a cream.
> How and when to apply a nourishing facial serum?
Applying the serum comes after the makeup removal and cleansing step. Morning and evening, simply apply a few drops of serum to the entire face and neck, then apply a cream. Ideally, for dry skin, it is best to opt for anourishing cream.
A dry skin serum can be applied daily morning and/or evening to deeply treat the lack of lipids within the epidermis or occasionally as a treatment when the skin feels uncomfortable and rough. In order to obtain optimal results and benefit from the full effectiveness of the nourishing serum, it is ideal to incorporate it daily into your beauty routine for a minimum of one month, renewable.

Within a dry skin routine, it is also possible to add a day cream or serum designed to address another issue (anti-wrinkle, anti-aging, firmness, anti-blemish, etc.).
