Skin in need of youthful moisture
Dry skin is not just unpleasant, it’s a sign that your skin needs some TLC. Water in the outer layer of your skin keeps it soft and flexible. 9 Your skin produces oils that keep the water in your skin from evaporating. If you don’t have enough of these oils, your skin will wither and take on a rough, scaly appearance. 9 Hyaluronic acid has high water binding properties that provide prolonged and deep hydration to boost skin. 14 As we age, the amount of hyaluronic acid in our skin decreases, leading to dry skin, tightness and wrinkles. 14,15
Dry skin looks rough and scaly, sometimes with redness and cracking and can feel tight and itchy. 9 Dryness is a visible sign of aging along with dullness and wrinkles. 13
10 Reasons Our Skin Becomes Dry
1. As we get older, the number of “oil glands” in our skin decreases 13
2. Excessive washing or scrubbing – especially with harsh soaps – wash the protective oils off our skin 16
3. Dry, hot weather which causes water to evaporate from the skin 16
4. Cold, dry air during winter 16
5. The use of air conditioning in offices which evaporates water from skin 16
6. The use of heaters in winter which evaporate water from skin 16
7. The use of skin treatments such as isotretinoin for acne 9
8. Athletes or people who enjoy the outdoors and are exposed to sun and wind 3,13
9. Swimmers, since pool chemicals can draw moisture from skin 17
10. Frequent hand washing can cause dry skin on hands, because the protective oils are removed 13
