Dry Skin Treatment

Dry Skin on face is different from the dry skin on the remaining parts of the body precisely because the skin on the face is more sensitive and is more likely to be subjected to environmental and other conditions. A number of products dealing with dry skin mainly target the facial and neck area. The three types of skin –normal, oily and dry take over at periodic moments depending on the climate and other environmental conditions.

While dealing with dry skin on the face, one has to bear in mind that different parts of the face need specialized attention depending on how sensitive they are to the external factors. In the light of this, the apt examples undoubtedly are the area around the nose and the edges of the mouth, the cheeks and the area under the eyes, the chin and the forehead.

Dry skin on the cheek is mainly in the form of rough, harsh skin with open pores. The extremities of weather, like too much sun and too much cold affect this area severely. Most of the lotions take into account how severely this area is likely to be affected and then form the strength of the contents of the lotion.

Dry skin under the eyes needs to be taken extreme care of because the skin under the eye is extremely sensitive. Any harsh chemical substance can damage this area very easily. Even ice is not recommended to be applied directly on it. You need to wrap it in a towel and then apply on the eye. Thus, extremely mild lotion and only lukewarm water should be used to prevent any kind of damage to the eye. Many products write a cautionary note requesting the user not to use the product around the eye. You should take this note very seriously.

Dry skin on and around the nose opens up a hub for black and white heads. The itching and the scratching sensation are most pronounced in these areas. From here on, the bacteria for black heads spreads unto the cheeks as well. While washing or scrubbing your face, special attention should be given to these areas. Apply lotion particularly well in these areas.
