Dry Facial Skin

Do You Suffer From Dry Facial Skin?

Dry Facial Skin – Not Only Looks Bad, but Can Be Painful Too

What is dry skin? It's skin that has a very low level of sebum (oil) and is usually sensitive. Often times dry skin looks parched, dull, and wrinkled. It lack plumpness and appears dehydrated and shrunken.

In some extreme cases, dry skin can be painful as it can become chapped, flaky, tight, and cracked – sometimes it even may bleed. Even if your young, having dry facial skin looks “crinkly" and exaggerates fine lines -- giving you an older appearance.

The causes of dry skin are numerous including:

  • skin conditions like seborrhea, dermatitis, eczema or psoriasis
  • under active thyroid or diabetes
  • use of certain drugs like antihistamines and diuretics
  • poor diet, especially vitamin deficiencies like vitamins A, B and essential fatty acids like omega 3 fish oils
  • environmental factors like constant exposure to harsh soaps, cosmetics, or wind and cold temperatures

However, for the purpose of this web site -- I’ll be concentrating on dry skin information due to general aging.

Dry Skin Cure

It's important prevent dry skin from getting worse and causing wrinkles or even infections. According to Dr. Claude Burton, professor of dermatology at Duke University School of Medicine, "…. intact, healthy skin is your body's primary defense against infection, if you let your skin get dried out and cracked, you could be giving all sorts of nasty bacteria a way in."

While there may not be a “cure” for dry skin associated with aging, there is a scientifically proven way to capture moisture and keep it on the skin's surface.

ZENMED Botanical Moisturizer is a clinically proven, organic, homeopathic moisturizer that provides continuous hydration. This excellent therapeutic moisturizer is often recommended by naturopathic doctors because of it's natural soothing botanicals which provide hours of hydration with just one application.

ZENMED Botanical Hydrating Moisturizer contains Lyphazome nanospheres to deliver time-released active ingredients deep into the skin, not just the surface -- this way it's able to replace moisture all day long.
