Dry and Dehydrated Skin
Dry skin has a matt, uneven texture. This is because there is not enough sebum to lubricate the surface cells and keep them compacted together. In the absence of a greasy coating, natural moisture becomes lost from the upper layers.
The surface cells curl up and flake. The skin lacks
suppleness and often feels tight. Dry skin is usually thin and fine with no
visible pores. It forms lines and wrinkles prematurely, particularly around the
eyes. Commonly dilated capillaries appear on the nose and cheeks. A dry skin is
prone to sensitivity and therefore it is important to guard against the
appearance of tiny veins which can develop into prominent thread veins and
dilated capillaries as well as dryness flaring into flaking.
Dry skin can feel tight and lack suppleness
A Beau Visage Skin Health Consultation is a must if you have dry skin, as when analysing the blood supply image of the client, a practitioner can easily target problems such as broken veins and rosacea. This means that with the aid of the practitioner’s knowledge and the images produced by Beau Visage, a treatment plan can be devised to treat these specific problems. Lasers and IPL can be used to remove thread veins on the face aswell as the body and legs.
Microdermabrasion, peels and laser treatments are all effective at removing dead skin cells and helping to create a glowing complexion. Gentle exfoliation will also help to remove surface dead skin cells and create a smoother complexion. Facials are also very effective treatments to help plump and revive the skin.
In terms of suitable products for a dry skin, products which will super hydrate the skin and minimize fine lines are needed. Products containing Hyaluronic Acid are excellent for a dry skin, as Hyaluronic Acid can hold up to 100 times its weight in water for hydration and improved elasticity. Products also containing the Super Antioxidants Vitamin A, C & E will help to nourish and repair the skin and therefore improve the overall quality of the skin.
Dark Circles, under eye puffiness and dull skin are also characteristic of a dry skin and are symptoms of the skin lacking collagen and hyaluronic acid-the skin’s natural moisture. Rehydration, both internally and externally is essential for healthy looking skin and therefore it is important to drink one-two litres of water a day and eat a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and beta carotenes to fight the effects of ageing free radicals. Facials combined with manual lymph drainage will help to aid detoxification and improve dark circles.
The Beau Visage colour Image view will enable your practitioner to see any areas of dehydration and fine lines on your skin. This will be more prominent around the eye area where a skin is most delicate. An eye cream is an absolute must if you have dry skin. It is also important to ensure that you wear an SPF30 all year round, to protect the skin from UVA rays, which are present all year round in all climates.
DEHYDRATED means lacking in moisture. The Skin looks dull and parched, and may feel tight and itchy. Dry skin is dehydrated, but any skin type may suffer temporary dehydration if it is not protected and cared for. Recommended treatment and products for a dehydrated skin are similar to that of a dry skin.
A Beau Visage Skin Health Consultation is a must for anyone over the age of twenty years old, in terms of skin health. A Beau Visage consultation will ensure that the recommended appropriate suitable treatments are performed to help achieve the desired look of youthful and smooth skin.
Beau Visage is a detailed and customised analysis of your facial skin and using Beau Visage’s unique Beauty Timeline feature, your practitioner can provide you with evidence that your treatments and home care regime is working. In the case of a dry skin, if treated correctly it can eventually become dewy and smooth looking.
