Dry skin is a common problem that can affect anyone, at any age. It often manifests as tightness, itching, and sometimes even flaking. But why does our skin become dry? To answer this question, it's essential to understand why our skin is or becomes dry.
Dry skin can result from many factors:
Environmental factors : Climate plays a crucial role. Cold temperatures and dry winter air can strip skin of its natural moisture. Similarly, prolonged exposure to sun and wind can also cause dry skin.
Lifestyle habits : Taking showers or baths that are too hot, using harsh soaps, and not moisturizing enough are habits that contribute to dry skin.
Medical conditions : Certain conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis, can also cause dry skin but can also be due to naturally dry skin.
Age : As we age, our skin produces less sebum, which can make it drier.
Our skin is made up of several layers, and the outer layer, or epidermis, is the one primarily affected by dryness. This layer contains lipids and proteins that help retain moisture. When these components are disrupted, the skin loses water and becomes dry.

Choosing the Right Soap for Dry Skin
Using the right soap is crucial for preventing dry skin. When choosing a soap, look for products specially formulated for dry skin. These soaps often contain moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin and natural oils.
The Relaxing Shower Oil enriched with glycerin, jasmine and white tea extracts gently cleanses the skin and protects it from drying out. Suitable for all skin types, it relaxes and offers a feeling of well-being to the entire body during the shower.

Incorporate oils for dry skin
Naturally derived oils can be a great addition to your skincare routine because they help seal in moisture. Oils like sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, or coconut oil are particularly beneficial.
Apply a thin layer of oil to your face instead of your cream to deeply nourish skin and eliminate tightness. Enriched with organic immortelle essential oil, known for its antioxidant properties, it improves skin's radiance.
Hydration and protection
Adaptogenic Moisturizing Cream prevents dryness in so-called normal skin. Formulated with adaptogenic plant extracts, it replenishes the skin with water and thus prevents dehydration. For naturally dry skin, the Nourishing Comfort Cream formulated with a trio of plant oils (sweet almond oil, raspberry seed oil and meadowfoam oil) is recommended. It intensely nourishes and comforts the driest skin and helps restore the skin's hydrolipidic barrier while protecting it from external aggressions such as the cold.
