Causes of dry skin
There are many reasons for dry skin. In addition to aging, our skin can also become dry due to other external factors, such as our environment and lifestyle habits.
- Age and genetic factors: As we age, the levels of estrogen and progesterone in our bodies gradually decrease, reducing sebum secretion and weakening the skin's protective barrier and moisture retention capacity, thus affecting skin elasticity. Some people are naturally prone to dry skin with less sebum secretion, making their skin more susceptible to dryness and peeling.
- Environment: Besides dry seasons, prolonged use of air conditioning can also dry out the air, accelerating the evaporation of moisture from the skin's surface, leading to dryness and tightness. Furthermore, cold air can irritate the skin, making it more sensitive and causing symptoms such as redness and swelling.
- Lifestyle Habits: Frequently staying up late and resulting in insufficient sleep can affect the growth of stratum corneum cells, damage the skin barrier, and reduce the stratum corneum's water retention, causing the skin to lose its softness and become thinner, leading to dryness, peeling, and even cracking. Studies have also shown that insufficient sleep affects the skin's water retention, elasticity, pore size, and blood flow. Irregular sleep patterns, smoking, drinking alcohol, and consuming excessive amounts of high-oil and high-salt foods can all lower the body's immunity, making the skin more sensitive and dry, and may also lead to skin inflammation and other symptoms.
- Improper facial cleansing: Improper makeup removal, over-cleansing, or using unsuitable cleansing products can also affect skin condition. If makeup residue remains on the skin for a long time, it can cause pigmentation, preventing the skin from absorbing skincare products and leading to dullness and dryness. However, over-cleansing can also affect sebum secretion, stripping away the skin's natural oils. Furthermore, excessively hot water during washing can irritate the skin, causing dryness and itching. In addition, people with sensitive skin may damage their skin barrier by using harsh cleansers or exfoliating products, leading to sensitivity and peeling.
How to improve dry, peeling skin?
Improving dry skin starts with lifestyle habits, and a good diet is the first step to keeping skin hydrated. Vitamin A helps balance oil secretion on the skin's surface and locks in moisture; it's recommended to eat more foods like salmon, tomatoes, and sweet potatoes to supplement vitamin A. In addition, vitamins C, E, and Omega-3 can replenish skin collagen, promote antioxidant activity, effectively nourish the skin, and fight skin inflammation. Furthermore, when cleansing and moisturizing your skin, avoid using excessively hot water or irritating skincare products. Try to use skincare products with natural ingredients to reduce the irritation of chemical components and lower the risk of dry and sensitive skin.
