If you have water-dry skin, you simply have to drink more water to remedy the issue. Not only will that get rid of the dryness, but your skin will appear more plump and healthy.
Oil-dry skin is a more intricate issue. One of the most significant causes of oil-dry skin is aging. As skin matures, the natural activity of the sebaceous (oil) glands slows down, and the skin's self-lubricating properties decrease. Other external factors, including the environment and weather can also contribute to dry skin. Regardless of the causes, oil-dry skin can be repaired with proper moisturizing and nourishing skin care products.
When looking for an appropriate face moisturizer, decide whether you prefer a gel, lotion, cream or balm, and evaluate which one is best for your skin type.
You also want to look for moisture-attracting ingredients called humectants, such as hyaluronic acid, sodium PCA, glycerin or butylene glycol and for super oil-dry skin for the product to be occlusive, meaning it creates an insulating protective barrier around the skin, trapping in all moisture and nourishing ingredients that are in the product, or applied right before it, such as beeswax.
Here are my top 5 recommendations for all ages for oil-dry skin for most severe to milder symptoms:
- Hippophae Hydration Balm
- Hippophae Pepto-Ceramide Complex
- Advanced Repair Complex
- Age Antidote Complex
- Stem Cell Face Complex
