Many women face the problem of dry facial skin, which is often accompanied by tightness, irritation and peeling. Wrinkles appear more frequently on this face, as the skin is more susceptible to loss of elasticity. What can you do to provide your skin with the hydration it needs and eliminate unwanted signs of dryness?
There are many cosmetics and treatments for this type of skin, some even use hemorrhoid cream for this, but it is always possible to make anti-wrinkle masks for faces with dry skin at home from natural products.
Causes of dryness
What causes fluid loss? The skin consists of several layers:
- dermis
- epidermis
- external stratum corneum
The epidermis and cells of the stratum corneum protect the dermis from environmental influences. In other words, the dermis contains 80% fluid, which provides elasticity. If the protective layer is thin, it will be difficult to retain liquid in the dermis. Without the necessary help, the skin quickly loses hydration. And this happens even more intensely under the influence of external irritating factors: heat, frost, wind.
It is important to know that there are two types of dry skin:
- This type is given to man by nature. The skin is delicate, does not cause problems at a young age, without oily shine and acne, but over time it is susceptible to the early appearance of wrinkles and peeling.
- The skin looks like this due to dehydration. This can happen to any skin type due to insufficient hydration or excessive dryness with special products.
If you have questions about how to determine your skin type, you can perform a simple test:
- Wash well
- Clean your face
- Do not apply creams or cosmetics to your face
- After a few hours, apply a paper napkin to your face.
If no moisture marks appear on the napkin, the skin is dry. When spots appear in the nose, forehead and chin area, we can safely say that the skin is oily.
The main reasons why the skin becomes dry:
- Disturbance in the functioning of the sebaceous glands
- Dry air
- Frequent exposure to sun and frost
- Prolonged stay in water
- Wash with hot water
- Poor quality cosmetics, excessive use of cosmetics
- Using soap
- Frequent peeling
- Insufficient vitamins
- Various skin diseases
- Diseases of the stomach and intestines, thyroid gland, nervous system
- Side effects of some medications
- Poor nutrition, diets
- Smoke
- Lack of proper facial care
- Hormonal changes/pregnancy, menopause, hormone therapy
- Age-related changes
Dry air, especially during the cold season, is one of the most common causes of skin dehydration; makes the skin dull and lifeless. Frost, strong wind, high temperature and low humidity are dangerous for all skin types, especially if it is naturally dry and thin. A similar effect occurs with frequent visits to the solarium.
The same negative effect is produced by hot water and even the use of soap. In this case, the natural fat layer is eliminated, while the skin dries and becomes tight.
But the body must receive a sufficient amount of fluid. Violation of water balance, resulting from improper organization of the diet or certain diets, will first be reflected on the face.
Diseases such as diabetes, dysbiosis and eczema also affect dry skin. A malfunction of the thyroid gland reduces the production of fats, causing the skin to lose elasticity and dry out. Various medications (antibiotics, diuretics) can have a side effect that deprives the skin of sufficient moisture.
Dry skin type is the most sensitive to hormonal changes. The main factor that influences the formation of dry dermis is the malfunction of the sebaceous glands. But this can be influenced by weather conditions and incorrectly selected cosmetics, as well as poor ecology, bad habits and even active facial expressions and time spent in front of a computer monitor.
How to use anti-wrinkle masks on dry skin
Before starting health procedures, you need to find out what caused your skin to dry out and eliminate the root causes. Otherwise, no product applied to the surface will solve the problem.
There are myths about proper care for this skin type:
- Sometimes you might hear the misconception that caring for dry skin is practically unnecessary. This decision is formed among young representatives of the fair half. But, having crossed the threshold of thirty years, the natural aging process begins in the body. And it is dry skin that suffers most from a lack of mandatory care. Therefore, the early appearance of facial wrinkles is noted.
- Someone claims that after the age of 30, no matter what you do, wrinkles will still appear on dry skin. The body really ages and this cannot be avoided, but there is always the opportunity to slow down this process. Well-cared for skin ages more slowly and certainly looks better. Correct actions allow you to keep your skin young and, even at a more mature age, wrinkles will be practically invisible.
You can achieve the best positive results, both in preventing and eliminating wrinkles on your face with dry skin, by using homemade cosmetic masks. After all, they are full of natural beneficial ingredients. When preparing it yourself, there is no need to doubt whether chemical ingredients have been added to the composition.
When choosing mask recipes, it is better to focus on options that produce a nourishing and moisturizing effect.
These masks aim to achieve the following effects:
- Restoring water balance
- Rejuvenation
- Smoothing wrinkles
- Maximum moisture retention
Many people note that after regular use of homemade masks, the skin becomes smooth, healthy and matte.
You need to use homemade care products 2-3 times a week before going to bed for 15-20 minutes. After rinsing, apply a proven moisturizing night cream. It is better to alternate masks.

But there are many options for masks, so you can easily replace one recipe with another, where all the ingredients are suitable for a particular person.
Sometimes you can find recipes where lemon juice is included in the mask. This product should be used with caution if you have dry skin, as the thin epidermis is especially susceptible to irritation. The acid threatens to cause intense burning and redness.
If a capillary mesh appears on the skin of the face, it is necessary to avoid including honey in masks, as it has a vasodilating effect.
Those with dry skin and premature wrinkles should not despair.
