How to take care of my dry or very dry skin?

More fragile than its normal to oily counterparts, very dry or dry skin needs comfort. It therefore requires special attention, thanks in particular to a specially adapted beauty routine.  

When it comes to beauty rituals, we often talk about moisturizing. Dry or very dry skin needs not only water, but also nutrition. It suffers from a lack of lipids that makes it fragile, and this is where it dries out and loses its suppleness. On both face and body, when the skin care products used are not adapted to the skin's needs, the skin becomes rough, tight, reddened and takes on a "crocodile-skin" appearance.

Several external factors can also weaken the hydrolipidic film and increase discomfort. Changes in temperature, hot showers, frequent use of aggressive cleansers or exposure to wind and sun: dry to very dry skin suffers from a number of inconveniences. Tightness and itchiness can spoil your daily routine. Fortunately, thanks to adapted beauty ritualyou can look radiant and feel velvety-smooth all year round!

On the face, dry or very dry skin is more fragile and more prone to dehydration. However, a few simple gestures are all it takes to relieve it:

Cleansing can be a real assault on dry to very dry skin. To ensure that this essential step does not weaken the skin, use a lipid-enriched cleanser such as Surgras cleansing gel Rêve de Miel® cleansing gel for face and body.

For both face and body, these 2-in-1 products remove impurities without damaging the skin's protective hydrolipidic film. For the make-up removalFor make-up removal, opt for soft, creamy textures such as a oil or a milk. Our tip for preventing overheating caused by cotton? Apply your milk with your fingertips and gently massage into the face, finishing with a toning mist if necessary. 

As you can see, dry skin needs hydration AND nutrition. That's why we turn to rich, comforting textures. These creamy galenic formulas will immediately soothe the skin, freeing it from sensations of discomfort. In the morning and evening, skin can benefit from formulas that provide all the benefits it needs to maintain its suppleness and radiance.

And, of course, all the products in the Rêve de Miel® range, specially designed to meet the needs of dry to very dry skin. 

The body is particularly prone to dry skin. As we have already seen, to limit tightness and itching, a gentle cleanser is essential. You should also consider incorporating the following gestures into your beauty routine: 

To keep skin soft, exfoliation is a must. For the body, opt for exfoliation enriched with the nourishing action of  Nourishing Scrub Rêve de Miel® nourishing body scrub .  

It may seem obvious, but body skin is all too often neglected. If you have dry or very dry skin, make sure you apply a nourishing and enveloping treatment every day. Cream, balm or oil: to each his own anti-crocodile-skin weapon!

Your 2 must-haves*: for dry, sensitive skin, opt for the Rêve de Miel® 48H Ultra-Recomforting Body Cream, whose velvety texture replenishes, soothes and protects against external aggressions (wind, cold, etc.), and for very dry, sensitive skin, go for the Rêve de Miel® Melting Body Oil Balm  with honey and precious plant oils, whose balm-in-oil texture intensely nourishes, repairs and relieves sensations of irritation.

And for face, body and hair care, adopt Huile Prodigieuse® Richeto nourish and repair dry to very dry skin. 

These two areas are particularly prone to dryness and roughness, especially in winter. To soothe them, use  Rêve de Miel® Ultra-Nourishing and Repairing Lip Balm  and Rêve de Miel® Hand and Nail Cream for a nourishing, repairing duo to be used regularly throughout the day.  

To avoid weakening your skin:

• Avoid using water that is too hot, as this will alter the hydrolipidic film;
• After showering, gently dab your skin with a towel rather than rubbing it;
• For your clothes, opt for soft materials like cotton and avoid wool and synthetics;
• Drink enough water to keep your skin well hydrated;
• Eat a diet containing essential fatty acids to provide nutrients for very dry skin.

Gentleness, nutrition and hydration are the key to caring for very dry or dry skin. Don't forget that your skin's needs can change with the seasons, but also with age. So always listen to your skin, and don't hesitate to adapt your skincare routine to its needs, even from time to time.
