Dry skin is a very common problem, with many women over the age of 40 reporting skin tightness and itches. Dry skin can be very uncomfortable, and while sometimes it's due to the presence of irritants or adverse weather conditions, in some cases it's a permanent condition that needs to be treated. The key actions of beauty skin treatments for dry skin involve returning the balance of oils and moisture to the skin, while helping reduce the irritation and redness often associated with dry skin.

Caring effectively for skin that feels dry guarantees making sure that the products you are using are not making the problem worse. Avoid dry ingredients such as alcohol or soap, present on many "refreshing" products. There are many products that are specially designed to balance dry skins, even those who are oily in the T-area (nose and forehead) and dry everywhere else, also known as combination skin. You should also make sure, using humidifiers and being careful about AC, that your environment is not too dry.

Exfoliating can help dry skin look brighter, but it's important to choose a gentle product that will not irritate the skin further. Try to concentrate on areas that are naturally oilier, such as the nose and forehead, and follow up with a hydrating mask once a week. You can do this more frequently if your skin is very dry, such as during winter. A cheap face mask for dry skin can be made with half an avocado and a quarter of a cup of honey, applied to your face for 5 minutes and then removed with tepid water. Remember to avoid scrubbing too hard when removing it.

You should apply moisturizers daily, preferably in the morning and before going to sleep, and especially if you are going outside or your skin feels tight and uncomfortable. Be careful of those with too much oil, as they can cause breakouts. There are many products that are designed for dry skin and include natural elements such as glycerine or lactic acid, and apply it gently by tapping your skin with your fingers. This way you'll protect your skin from water loss and aging. Using rich creams with Vitamin E, especially at night and around the eye area where the skin is more sensitive and thin can also help dry skin a lot.

You can use natural essential oils for skin such as avocado oil to massage your skin or for a treat after a bath, or apply a facemask made with yoghurt for 20 minutes to help prevent breakouts and balance your skin. Drinking at least 2 liters of water every day with also help your skin look more supple and moisturizer, and in some cases you may want to consult with your doctor in case your diet is causing your skin to dry up due to deficiency of some minerals or vitamins.
