The expert gave advice on facial care for tightness and peeling

Dry air, temperature fluctuations, sun exposure, frequent cleansing and improperly selected care products can lead to dry and dehydrated skin. These problems can occur with any type of skin, including oily and combination skin, so it is important to notice changes in time and adjust your beauty routine. Anastasia Murashkina, an expert of the French dermatological cosmetics Topicrem, told Izvestia on July 29 about which signals should be paid attention to.

According to the expert, the main mistake is that many confuse temporary dehydration of the skin with permanent dryness. Dry skin produces fewer of its own lipids, so its protective barrier retains moisture worse, which is manifested by tightness, roughness and hypersensitivity. Temporary dehydration is short-term in nature, whereas dryness requires regular care and products that support the skin barrier.

"The first signs of dehydration are tightness and hypersensitivity of the skin, especially immediately after washing or during the day. If you do not adjust the care, these symptoms may include peeling, itching and a reaction to the usual cosmetics," Murashkina explained.

In addition, the lack of moisture affects the skin tone and texture. When dehydrated, the surface of the face becomes less smooth, reflects light less well, and looks dull and tired. Against this background, wrinkles, relief irregularities and peeling may appear.

Greasy shine does not exclude dehydration: this combination often occurs after aggressive cleansing or excessive use of drying agents. If it is combined with tightness and peeling, it is worth reviewing the care.

To correct the skin condition, Murashkina recommended avoiding harsh scrubs and frequent use of acids, washing with warm rather than hot water and using mild cleansers. It is better to apply a moisturizer immediately after cleansing, without waiting for a feeling of tightness. If there is severe itching, burning, or inflammation, you should consult a dermatologist.

The expert emphasized that signs of dehydration — tightness, peeling, dull tone and a combination of greasy shine with discomfort — can be noticed at an early stage. Timely adjustment of the beauty routine using mild remedies and regular moisturizing helps to restore the protective barrier, restore skin comfort, smoothness and fresh appearance.

On June 9, Anastasia Razbezhkina, a dermatovenerologist and cosmetologist, told us which mistake is the most important in summer skin care. The expert noted that the choice of SPF depends on the conditions of being outdoors. For a short stay indoors, funds with SPF 15 may be sufficient, while for walking it is better to choose SPF 30 or 50.
