How to treat dry, rough skin on your face.
Rough patches often appear on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and along the nose and nostrils . This can lead to flakes . They are caused by a lack of moisture and a buildup of dead skin cells . Therefore, even for dry skin, it's important to cleanse properly, exfoliate weekly, and optimize your skin condition with a good moisturizing product.
The skin can become rough and flaky, feeling tight due to a lack of hydration. Over time, the skin can even become sensitive , leading to red patches .
Even if you have blemishes and acne , your skin can lack moisture, feel dry, and rough. This is often a misconception, as products used to treat blemishes and acne often dry out the skin even more.
Can your skin repair itself?
Your skin will produce extra oils to compensate for dryness. This can give you the impression of oily skin with blemishes and inflammation. But the root cause is a lack of hydration. Extra hydration from the outside through the right skincare is essential for improving skin condition, especially when combined with a thorough yet gentle cleansing routine to prevent blemishes.
Which cleanser should I choose for dry skin?
First, gently cleanse your skin with Institut Esthederm's hydra-restoring cleansing lotion . Rinse with lukewarm water and then pat your face dry.
If you prefer not to rinse your skin with water, you can apply Institut Esthederm's hydra-ressourçant lotion fraîche to a cotton pad and use it to cleanse your skin.
You spray Brume Cellular Eau de Parfum (Eau de Parfum) on your skin to give it an extra boost of hydration, boost its energy, and prepare it for the skincare you apply afterward, ensuring it absorbs it effectively. (You can also use this spray during the summer to refresh your skin without drying it out! and to set your makeup.)
How to exfoliate your skin?
Once or twice a week, you can exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin cells and flakes , making it smoother and softer. At Institut Esthederm, they opt for a scrub, the clarified exfoliating mask , which essentially scrubs away dead skin cells. It's grit-free and very gentle, even for sensitive skin.
How to care for your skin?
If your skin feels very dry and rough, we recommend the intensive hyaluronic acid treatment. This range contains four intensely hydrating products.
Institut Esthederm's Intensive Hyaluronic Serum and Intensive Hyaluronic Cream provide deep hydration and extra nourishment for your skin. A serum penetrates even deeper, while the cream provides extra comfort and hydration in the upper layer of the skin.
Institut Esthederm's intensive hyaluronic eye serum is a light eye gel that reduces crow's feet and fine lines around the eyes, often the first signs of aging.
And an intensive hyaluronic mask that you can apply 1 to 2 times a week for extra deep hydration and to further de-stress your skin.
Step-by-step plan for dry, dehydrated skin with Institut Esthederm.
If you are not yet used to cleansing and caring for your skin twice a day, you can start with the essential skincare routine (2x per day):
clean with the lait demaquillant hydra-resourçant
intensive hyaluronic acid cream
Are you more experienced with skincare and want more steps for faster and deeper results? Then choose the advanced skincare routine (twice a day):
clean with the lait demaquillant hydra-resourçant
eye cream intensive hyaluronic
intensive hyaluronic acid cream
WEEKLY
sweet desincrusting cream (a must-have for blemishes and blackheads)
masque gomme clarifiante (scrubbing mask, works like a scrub but without grains)
intensive hyaluronic acid mask
After this treatment, I'll continue to monitor your skin. Give your skin some time! You should already notice improvement after 30 days. But it can take several months for complete improvement. You can also repeat this treatment.
If your skin needs extra nourishment (often during the winter), you can use the crème vitale è la gelée royale from Institut Esthederm, which can be used in combination with the intensive hyaluronic serum.
If you still suffer from impurities, you can supplement your routine with the Propolis+ range from Institut Esthederm , which provides additional protection against impurities and skin inflammation.
