JAKARTA - Dry skin is usually caused by reduced production of collagen, sebum, and water levels in the skin. The risk of dry skin will increase with age.

Errors when choosing a suitable skin care cream can also cause the skin, which is originally of normal type, to turn dry.

Beauty doctor dr. Ratna Defi, M. Biomed (AAM) says that normal skin types usually tend not to have problems. However, if you use and choose the wrong cream, then this will be a problem.

"Why? Because of the loss of the skin barrier. Well, that would cause the skin that was previously normal to dry out. Why? Because the barrier that is supposed to protect the skin will disappear," Ratna said in a press statement received in Jakarta, Saturday.

Dry skin conditions can interfere with daily activities and even make a person's confidence decrease. Dry skin will also cause cosmetic makeup (makeup) used to actually appear cracked or peeling. Therefore, here are four steps to solutions that can be taken to treat and prevent dry skin.

Avoid washing your face with water temperature that is too hot

Wetting your body and face can relax you, especially after a day of doing activities outside. However, washing the body, especially the facial part, by using water that is too hot can make the skin dehydrated and drier.

Choose facial cleaning products that do not cause irritation

If you choose the wrong facial cleansing product, your face can become irritated and then make your face dryer.

To clean the face, the owner of dry skin type is advised to wash the face with a facial cleansing or cleansing that contains aloe vera so that the skin moisture is maintained.

Always use moisturizing products after cleansing your face

Cleaning the face is certainly a very important stage to maintain skin health. But unfortunately, cleaning the face can also make the face dry, especially if we do it too often.

Therefore, to avoid dryness of the skin after cleansing, immediately use moisturizing products so that the skin's moisture is maintained.

Consumption of supplements for skin nutrition

Lastly, take supplements for the skin. In addition to treating the skin from the outside with various skincare, don't forget to keep taking care of the skin from the inside using supplements that function to menutrite the skin.
