Dry or very dry skin of genetic origin often has problems with water retention. They are usually hot skins that evaporate water very quickly or skins with a lack of surface oil that fail to maintain their natural moisture. Dry and very dry skins present more fine wrinkles and need more lipid load in cosmetics.

EXTRA TIPS FOR DRY AND VERY DRY SKIN
Perform an enzymatic peel
Every 2-3 weeks, perform an enzymatic peel to remove superficial keratin and enhance results. In addition, it will give your skin a natural glow.
Nutricosmetics as an ally
Take advantage of nutricosmetics as an ally to enhance the results of your treatment: drinkable collagen, vitamins, silicon? They provide firmness from the inside.
Sulfite-free cleansers
Use sulfite-free cleansers because they are particularly aggressive on dry skin and end up eliminating the natural hydrolipidic film.
Cold or lukewarm water
Warm water dehydrates the skin. During cleansing facial, use cold or lukewarm water to prevent your skin from dehydrating.
Avoid tobacco and alcohol
Substances such as alcohol and tobacco accelerate the hidratación of the skin. You'd better avoid them to get the results you expect.

Sometimes we confuse dry skin with alipic skin. Dry skins are dehydrated skins, i.e. with a lack of water, while alipic or alipid skins are skins with a lack of lipids, i.e. with a lack of oil.
Just as the level of androgens affects an oily skin by producing more sebum and greasing that skin.
An androgen deficiency or a genetic predisposition to have less oil production predisposes your skin to have a lack of surface oil.
If we moisturize a dry and alipic skin with hyaluronic acid but we are not providing enough ceramides or amino acids to generate a superficial layer, that skin will be more oily. hidratación will evaporate in a matter of hours. In a short period of time, the skin will be dry again.
We must diagnose a skin well to know if in addition to moisturizing actives we must also provide it with fat molecules to avoid this transepidermal water loss and make a correct greenhouse effect.

Dry skin has many particularities as well. They seem easy to treat because with a very oily cream, some people think they have it, but they do not.
A dry skin tends to become dull due to a lack of vitamins, because the skin's hidratación, amino acids and vitamins is what gives the skin that texture, plumpness and that healthy, juicy skin color.
On the other hand, there are times when dry skin is duller than normal because of dead skin on the surface. Having a good weekly peeling and providing it with a lot of hidratación with vitamins is a guaranteed result.

This is true for all dry skin.
What are our tips?
Moisturize your skin very, very much, use serums and ampollas as a pre-base and also add a rich cream but not too much and very well massaged.
The makeup you use should be hyperflexible, rich in natural waxes, apply little and blend it to the maximum, do not use a brush, use your hands or a sponge.
And the most important tip, do not use powder.
Powders are essential for oily skins that need to mattify and control sebum so that the makeup does not come off. This is not your case, your skin absorbs everything you put in front of it. Don't use powder, it won't age your face.

Indeed, cosmetics lifting on dry skin usually generates a feeling of discomfort.
Lift cosmetics are collagen or cross-linked hyaluronic molecules that remain on the surface and make a kind of surface mesh that consolidates and gives tightness to firm.
Dry skins are usually very reluctant to tightness, as having dry skin is something that happens daily when the skin has no cream.
So in these cases, we have to learn to work in mosaic. Working in mosaic is very easy when you learn.
Dry skin, just like oily or combination skin, does not have the same needs all over the face. So working in mosaic allows us to adjust the cosmetics to the needs of that area of the face.
Working on firmness in mosaic on dry skin is important so as not to create a feeling of discomfort.
First of all, we apply a very moisturizing serum rich in low molecular weight hyaluronic acid so that it penetrates and gives a feeling of overall juiciness.
Then apply the serum lifting and the ampoule on the lower third of the face, from the nose to the chin well massaged in smooths and then, in the area around the eyes and cheekbones we will apply a cream and a juicy and a little more oily contour, to have the flexion area more elastic.
This way you will be very comfortable and with the lower area supported and reaffirmed.
