Are you suffering from flaky skin that is itchy and inflamed? Does your complexion appear to be rough and lifeless? If you’ve answered yes to these questions, it’s very likely that you have dry skin. The reason for this is that you’re not producing natural oils like people with naturally clear and spotless skin. One of the reasons for the lack of production is that you could have a skin barrier that is damaged by environmental toxins and irritants. As a result, your pores will be so clogged up with the dirt you’ve accumulated that moisture won’t have room to develop.
Other people who could be more prone to experiencing damage to the skin include those who live in extremely hot or very cold environments, those who have certain medical conditions such as rosacea, smokers, and persons over the age of 50.
It can be very annoying when you’re uncomfortable in your own skin, but even more so when everyone around you can see it written all over your face, so to speak. Some of the common triggers for dry facial skin include:
- Chemically treated soaps, face washes, and creams.
The harsh chemicals in some skincare products can remove the natural oils from your face and dehydrate it. If you’re using products with strong perfumes and scents, you could certainly benefit from swapping them out for a soap-free and naturally scented product from the IKKARI range, such as our soap-free cleanser options. Our cleansers are free from chemicals but still smell wonderful and will hydrate your skin instead of damaging it. For best results, use them with an IKKARI face serum for dry skin. Keep reading for more details on our range of serums.
- A chronic skin condition.
If you suffer from eczema or psoriasis, the condition has compromised the skin’s natural protective barrier, causing the peeling, soreness, and itching you’ll be all too familiar with. Our range of skincare products contains reparative ingredients that’ll work to promote skin barrier regrowth and hydrate damaged skin. For instance, our natural mineral sunblock helps protect sensitive skin while promoting healing.
- Prescription and over-the-counter medications.
If you suspect that your medications are causing or exacerbating your dry skin, you should speak to a doctor or pharmacist for advice before you use a dry skin serum for your face. Consider complementing your routine with our instant hydration serum to help manage skin dryness from medication side effects.
