Dry flaky facial skin happens to many people. There are a number of reasons for this: dry air, improper nutrition and skin care, lack of vitamins and water. The skin can peel off on any part of the body, but the face usually "gets" the most.
Most often, peeling of the skin of the face is due to improper care of it. Many of the currently popular cleansers are very drying to the skin, such as antibacterial soaps. But ordinary soap (even with herbal additives) contains alkali, which irritates the skin. Better give up soap and
alcohol-based lotions. Choose soft foams and gels for washing based on olive oil. Lanolin, which is often added to soaps, can cause an allergic reaction. And glycerin and propylene glycol draw moisture from the skin and lead to keratinization of the outer layer of the epidermis. Many cosmetics can cause dryness and irritation. If you have flaky skin, do not get carried away with cosmetics.
Lack of moisture also adversely affects the skin. Dryness can appear in heated rooms, from sunlight or very hot water. Cosmetologists advisewash your face with cool water (room temperature), and after washing your face, do not wipe it, but lightly blot it with a soft towel. Under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, the top layer of cells dies, the skin becomes dry, rough, like parchment, begins to peel off, and wrinkles appear.
Skin peeling can also be caused by metabolic disorders or food allergies. It can appear after taking certain medications or from a lack of vitamins and minerals. Try to avoid alcohol, coffee, carbonated drinks, spicy and s alty foods. Dry skin can also be caused by dehydration, so you should drink at least 1.5 liters of water a day to keep your skin beautiful.
Also, peeling of the skin may be due to some diseases, such as psoriasis, ichthyosis, fungal infections. In this case, the treatment should be prescribed by a doctor.
In other cases, peeling of the skin can be cured on its own. It is very useful to lubricate the face instead of cream with coconut oil. Honey also fights this problem very well (unless you are allergic to it). You can use just honey for masks, or you can add olive, peach, almond oil, yolk or aloe juice to it. A very good face mask for peeling is made from banana with sour cream. It will not only moisturize the skin, but also nourish it with trace elements and nutrients.
For masks, you can use any vegetables and fruits. The best way to combat dry skin is grated carrots. If you mix it with oatmeal and milk, then the complexionwill improve. Instead of carrots, you can also take grated potatoes (an anti-inflammatory effect will also be added). Another tool that will not only help get rid of peeling, but also whiten the skin is a mask of grated cucumber with sour cream.
Good moisturizing and nourishing
mask made from the pulp of any sweet fruit has the effect: kiwi, banana, persimmon, pear.
Remember to use moisturizer more often, and at night and after applying the mask, apply a rich nourishing cream. If you take care of your face, you will soon forget what peeling skin is.
