3 Ways to Revive Dry, Dull Skin

Dry skin can be caused by different things; climate or environment (ahem, Arizona), skin type, product use, or health issues, to name a few. It can be difficult to determine what may be contributing to your dry skin. Regardless of the source, there are ways to breathe some life back into your skin.

Your Skin Care Routine

Sometimes the products we use as a part of our skin care regimes contribute to the dryness of our skin. This can be especially true if you use products for acne prone skin. Your first instinct may lead you to want to dry up excess oil to prevent acne. Yet overuse of acne skin care products can dry out the skin to a point where the body will produce more oil. When choosing skin care products (even for acne-prone skin), opt for gentle products, or products that balance the PH of the skin, and are less likely to dry out the skin. If you notice products in your skin care routine are drying your skin, but aren’t sure what to replace them with, the SkinMedica line has a wide array of products that are designed to keep your skin balanced while addressing various skin concerns.

Hydrate from Within

Stay hydrated! The human body is sensitive to dehydration, as so much of our body is made up of water. Often in the rush of a busy day, we have our coffee or maybe a soda but don’t get a chance to drink enough water. Carrying a reusable water bottle may remind you to drink more throughout the day. As a general rule of thumb, women should shoot for a minimum of eight (8oz) glasses of water each day. As you increase your water intake, you can prevent dehydration and help revive your dry skin.

Hydrating Facials

As we age and face other daily dry skin contributors, you may find facials to be beneficial. Facials can provide deeper benefits to revive skin than daily skin care products and at home care. Facials hydrate your skin by addressing more than just the surface level dryness, which is ideal if your skin care routine needs a boost. At North Scottsdale Laser and Skin Care Clinic, we offer facials for every skin type and skin care concern, including facials that will deeply hydrate your skin or exfoliate dead skin cells. Combining regular facials with great at home care is a winning combination to reviving your dry skin concerns.
