Dry skin: why does it occur and how can you support it?

Are you bothered? dry skin – feeling of tightness, itching or even painful tingling on the face, neck or hands?

If the skin often becomes dry, cracks or feels rough, this may be a sign weakening of the skin barrier and the reduction in water balance.

In reality, dry skin reflects the condition and needs of the skin. In today’s post, I will explain:

• why the skin becomes dry,

• what science-based mechanisms are behind this,

• and how the skin is consciously support and irrigate – both home care and Aesthetic medical procedures with help.

What causes skin dryness?

Dry skin Dry skin occurs when the upper layers of the skin contain too little water and natural moisture-binding substances. Additionally, the skin’s protective barrier, which consists of fats (such as cholesterol, ceramides, and fatty acids), may be disrupted. If this protective barrier does not function properly, moisture can escape from the skin too easily – and the skin becomes dry, tight, or flaky.

Dry skin – the main reasons for its occurrence:

Dry skin often develops due to several interconnected factors, ranging from environmental influences to the weakening of the skin’s own protective mechanisms:

• Sun and UV radiation – Intense sunlight damages the skin’s lipid barrier and accelerates transepidermal water loss, even if the skin itself initially appears tanned and ‘healthy’.

• Seawater and pool water – salty seawater draws moisture out of the skin due to osmotic pressure. Additionally, pool water often contains chlorine, which can irritate and dry out the skin.

• Strong wind and excessive sun exposure – summer wind combined with UV radiation can dry out the skin just as effectively as cold winter air.

• Cold or dry air – During the winter months, humidity levels drop significantly, which promotes moisture evaporation from the skin surface.

• Overuse of hot water – Frequent hot showers or baths wash away the natural oils that help retain moisture.

• Wrong skin care products For example, using a strong detergent or alcohol-containing toners can damage the skin’s protective barrier.

• Age – As you age, your skin’s natural lipid production and moisture retention capacity decrease.

• Genetics and skin type – Dry skin can also be hereditary and is more common in people with fair skin.

• Certain diseases or medicines For example, atopic dermatitis, hypothyroidism, diuretics, or retinoid medications can significantly affect skin hydration levels.

What You Can Do Yourself – Home Solutions

1. Gentle, skin-friendly cleaning

Avoid harsh sulfates and alcohol—these strip away not only dirt but also beneficial lipids. Choose cleansers with a pH close to the skin’s natural level (~5.5).

2. Irrigation: Three components for successful skin care

• Humectant constituents (e.g. hyaluronic acid, glycerin) – draw water into the skin.

• Emollients (nt plant-based ingredients, jojoba oil) – soften and fill micro-cracks.

• Hum-locking agents (NMF ceramides, shea butter) – form a protective barrier and lock in moisture.

Combine these active ingredients – especially after cleansing when the skin is still slightly damp.

Combining these three groups of ingredients helps restore the skin’s moisture balance and strengthen its protective function. Reference to scientific article.

3. Environmental support

• Keep humidity at home at least 40–50%.

• Avoid too hot water in the shower (≤ 37°C).

• Protect your skin from wind, sun and environmental impacts.

Does skin need more than cream?

If home remedies do not provide relief or if the dryness is chronic, it may be time to seek additional support from professional care. Sometimes moisturizing cream alone is not enough, especially if:

• The skin is constantly growing despite the care,

• microcleavages, itching or sensitivity,

• Dryness interferes with everyday life or skin health.

When and how to choose the appropriate procedure?

All the aforementioned aesthetic medicine procedures are intended to restore intradermal moisture balance, but when making the appropriate choice, several factors must be considered:

• Skin conditionIs the skin simply superficially dry or has it also lost its elasticity?

• Duration of symptomsIs the dryness sudden, seasonal or chronic?

• Sensitivity and ageSome products are better suited for sensitive or thin skin.

• PurposeDo you wish to target only hydration or also improve skin structure and radiance?

? Consultation with a specialist Helps assess which procedure or combination is most suitable for your skin.

Shed – not one and ready

It is important to know that The best results are achieved during the procedure., not a single session. It is usually recommended that:

• Profhilo 2-3 procedures, 1 month apart

• Belotero Revive 2-3 procedures, 2-4 weekly intervals

• Sunekos 3-4 procedures, once a week or every 10 days

The care provided by the shed gives the skin time to react and Restoring balance at deeper levels – results are more noticeable, longer-lasting and also support the skin’s own renewal.

Dry skin needs constant care – inside and out.

Dry skin is not only uncomfortable but often also a sign that the skin’s protective barrier has weakened. This can be caused by environmental factors as well as internal factors such as age, hormones or skin characteristics. If a moisturizing cream is no longer sufficient or the skin remains constantly tight and irritated, it is worth taking the next step – and exploring professional options for deep skin hydration.
