Face Wash For Dry Skin

http://gallery.bizhat.com/data/1850/face_wash1.jpg

A dry skin is sensitive since it has less of sebum which makes it less supple. Particularly after cleansing, a dry skin feels “tight”. Dry skin has an inclination to age prematurely; it peels easily and develops nasty red patches. Chapping and cracking are marks of exceptionally dry skin. And this is aggravated by wind and extremes of temperature especially air-conditioning. Dry skin requires quite an intensive use of creams and cleansing milks. Moisturizers containing petroleum jelly, lanolin or silicone derivatives, block the water from running off the skin and lock the moisture within. They also contain ‘water binders’, for example, alpha hydroxyl acids (AHA), glycerine, urea and lactic acid, that stir moisture from the inner layer of skin to the top layer. If you have a dry skin, your skin care regimen should include lots of meticulous but gentle cleansing, regular massage and generous quantities of oil and moisture. Given below is a list of homemade face wash recipes that could be followed if you have a dry skin.
