The skin's water reserve is easily lost with external aggressions and age, resulting in dry, tight, cracked, fragile skin that is prone to premature wrinkles.

Do you notice that your skin is drier than normal? 

Dryness, expression lines, tightness, redness, itching, peeling and lack of luminosity are some of the indicator symptoms of dry skin that cries out for hydration.

Although it is a very common problem that affects many women, sometimes it goes unnoticed, since we do not give it the importance it deserves.

In order to identify dry skin, we must know what the symptoms of dryness are: 

First, the skin appears dry and rough, with a tendency to flake. 

Fissures usually appear, which we should not confuse with the hated wrinkles, and produces a very annoying sensation of itching and tightness.

It is important to see if the skin becomes more sensitive to changes in temperatures.

The main causes of dryness are the evaporation of water from our body and the loss of fat.

For this reason, when the cold arrives, the skin very easily loses its water reserves due to heating, the low external ambient temperature, or the wind, which causes the skin to dry out significantly. 

In turn, an abusive exposure to the sun or the use of soaps and cosmetic products that contain alcohol can greatly promote dehydration of the skin. 

How to deal with these external factors and regain the health and beauty of your skin? Take note!
