Have you heard the saying that people dream of what they don't have? For one, it's a blessing; for another, a nightmare? We usually use it for significant things, like material possessions or some talent, but sometimes we use similar expressions for smaller everyday matters.
Let's say you have oily skin that has been causing you problems since your teenage years. Something always gets inflamed, you get pimples, and you constantly have to watch what you eat. Your best friend has none of these problems because she has dry skin – yes, she claims there's nothing good about it, but for you, dry skin is a dream.
But is dry skin really a blessing? Five women with dry skin were asked if they felt lucky, and the answer was... No! After the initial surprise, let's see why – because dry skin is not lively, it often also gets inflamed, hurts, feels tight, and peels. Caring for dry skin is just as important as caring for oily skin, and what both skin types have in common is that they need... hydration.
HYDRATION FOR DRY AND OILY SKIN
Every skin type needs water – both oily and problematic, as well as dry. As beings made up of water, it is crucial for our health. Our body must be hydrated to function properly, to handle toxins, and to look good.
The skin, as the largest organ of our body, has a vital need for hydration, which must come both from within and from outside. Even children know they need to drink water, and more or less this is a matter of routine, but we must also make hydrating the skin from the outside a routine.
In the different biotrade series, hydration takes a leading role, and whatever your skin problem is – dry or prone to acne and blackheads – you will find a suitable hydrating product in the respective series – Pure Skin illuminating and regenerating day cream with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid SPF50+, Melabel Sun SPF 50+ sunscreen, the hydrating cream Acne Out Hydro Active, and Acne Out restoring cream SPF30.
TOP BIOTRADE PRODUCTS FOR DRY SKIN
Dry skin is a condition that requires a specific approach. Usually, dryness is not isolated only to the facial skin but also affects the body – especially the legs and hands. Therefore, the solution must be comprehensive and include products for the whole body. We start with the face because it is the most visible and always exposed, and then continue with body care.
Pure Skin illuminating and regenerating day cream SPF50+
Whatever we do – or don’t do – with our skin, two things are mandatory – to protect it from strong sun and to provide hydration. The Pure Skin illuminating cream does both, while also doing everything possible to keep the signs of aging at a safe distance.
By the way, dry skin ages faster than oily skin, so don’t skip caring for it. The cream is suitable for all skin types, especially if the complexion is uneven and dull, under which the first fine lines and wrinkles appear.
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
-
Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid – the good old friend of dry skin, which attracts a lot of moisture and retains it in the skin.
-
Niacinamide – a super trendy ingredient, also known as vitamin B3, whose job is to improve skin structure, smooth wrinkles, and accelerate collagen and ceramide regeneration. A bonus is its brightening effect and enhancement of the skin’s protective barrier.
-
Tranexamic acid – like niacinamide, it brightens the skin but also rejuvenates it – something dry skin needs. It also acts against pigmentation spots that appear during pregnancy, aging, or excessive sun exposure.
-
Phospholipids – substances with a dual function. On one hand, they improve skin protection, and on the other, they enhance the penetration of active ingredients. Thanks to them, the cream is light with a gentle texture, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly.
Keratolin Body 8% or 12% Urea hydrating body lotion
Dry skin on the body is especially unpleasant because the effects are on a larger scale. The skin on the legs peels, itches, and when scratched, the area turns white, which is not pleasant at all. In such cases, one needs a product that moisturizes the skin enough to keep it in normal condition until the next application.
Keratolin Body 8% Urea is a hydrating lotion that immediately soothes the skin, and its daily use increases the water content in the epidermis and restores the skin’s barrier function. It is ideal after a bath, as well as after prolonged sun exposure, when people with dry skin feel especially bad. It is also suitable for children, absorbs quickly, is light, and non-greasy.
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
-
Urea – a magical ingredient that retains moisture in the skin for a long time.
-
Glycerin – softens, moisturizes, and increases skin elasticity. It also protects against drying and enhances the skin’s protective function.
Keratolin Body Wash shower gel for the body
When you have a persistent problem with dry skin, care must be a closed loop – from cleansing products to cream/lotion. Keratolin Body Wash is a shower gel for normal, dry, very dry, and flaky skin, free of soap, alcohol, and parabens, but with a neutral pH, making it ideal for skin prone to allergies and atopic dermatitis. It can be used daily, removes impurities, and creates a great feeling of comfort and softness.
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
-
Urea – again, the favorite ingredient of all people with dry skin. It provides an adequate moisture level in the skin for a long time.
-
Lactic acid – an alpha-hydroxy acid that gently exfoliates dead cells, accelerates the growth of new ones, and limits bacterial growth. Bonus – it makes the skin soft and gentle.
Keratolin Foot 10% Urea and Keratolin Foot 25% Urea hydrating foot creams
Now we come to the extremities – the biggest sufferers from dry skin. When the skin on the soles is dry, it leads to the unpleasant "scratching" sensation felt every time you put on or take off socks.
In severe cases, wounds may develop, and some medical conditions (diabetes, for example) also lead to foot problems. The cream absorbs quickly, leaves no greasy residue, and is suitable in all cases where the skin on the soles is dry and cracked.
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
-
Urea – an essential part of products for dry skin. In one case, the concentration is 10%, providing active and powerful hydration in the part of the body where the skin is quite thick. In the other, with 25%, you get the added benefit of urea’s gentle exfoliating effect at a higher concentration, which will save you from cracks and thickened areas on the soles.
-
Glycerin – softens, moisturizes, and makes the skin elastic.
-
Menthol – cools and soothes the skin on the soles and has a light and pleasant scent.
Keratolin Hands 5% Urea hydrating hand cream
Having dry skin on your hands in winter is literally painful. People with cold allergy or simply dry skin know what awaits them when autumn and winter come, and the air becomes dry and cold.
The skin on the hands is already a victim of all kinds of influences – detergents, external factors, sun, wind, cold, and more. In severe cases, this leads to wounds and pain, and only those who have not suffered from this problem do not know how many products one tries before finding the one that works.
Keratolin Hands 5% Urea is designed to relieve sensations of dry and tight skin on the hands, while simultaneously moisturizing and maintaining its natural water-lipid barrier.
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
-
Urea 5% – provides gentle hydration that makes the skin on the hands soft and calm.
-
Panthenol – stimulates cell regeneration, soothes the skin, and has anti-inflammatory effects.
-
Shea Butter – intensely nourishes and softens dry and tight skin.
-
Vitamin A – a key vitamin for good skin condition. It has nourishing, refreshing, and rejuvenating effects, stimulates and activates cell renewal, and stimulates collagen production.
-
Vitamin E – also a key vitamin. It has antioxidant effects, enhances the skin’s protective function, and reduces transepidermal water loss. It acts anti-inflammatory and improves skin elasticity.
And instead of a conclusion – a summary
Dry or oily, the skin is ours, and we will have to carry it as it is. In any case, a key part of caring for it is hydration, and in severe and persistent cases, it is good for the entire routine to be adapted to our condition, from cleansing to the final cream. Consistency is also a factor for success, and if preparation starts in summer, you may for the first time not feel the winter cold and its harmful effects on the skin so severely.
