Moisturizing and nourishing are vital for the skin. Water constitutes almost two-thirds of epidermis. Water loss causes not only tightness, peeling and discomfort, but also more serious consequences: wrinkles and facial contours deformation. It’s a popular misconception that only dry skin needs moisturizing. That’s not so. The oily skin needs moisture as well as the dry one.
Why does skin dehydration happen
The major factor of skin dryness is aging. During the natural aging processes, from the age of 30, the metabolism becomes slower, the amount of hyaluronic acid, which regulates water balance, decreases, the skin becomes dry, slack, the wrinkles start to appear. But the essential point to remember is that mineral metabolism deceleration is not the only reason of skin dehydration. It can be aggravated by a number of other reasons. In case you ignore them and don’t moisturize the skin consistently, the wrinkles may appear at a very early age. Among the most important factors are the following:
- inadequate care: improper and frequent cleansing using high-surfactant and high alcoholic cosmetic products, occasional use of sebo-regulating and antiseptic cosmetics for oily skin;
- external aggressive exposure to ultraviolet radiation, wind, frost, temperature changes, air conditioning and central heating;
- low water consumption, dehydration;
- using diuretics;
- taking hot bath too often;
- unbalanced dieting;
- lack of vitamins;
- internal organs disorders: gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidneys, pancreas gland diseases;
- smoking;
- hormonal changes.
