Dry skin can often be just a temporary problem — one you experience only in winter, for example — but for others it can be a lifelong problem. The symptoms of dry skin can depend on your age, your health, where you live, your job and sun exposure.  Dry skin has no oily areas and flaking can occur. The skin has lost some of its ability to produce natural oils. The pores are small but the texture can be taut and the skin might have a leathery appearance. Broken capillaries, fine wrinkles and a dull appearance suggest a dry skin type.

Other symptoms of dry skin include:

Skin tightness, especially after showering, bathing or swimming
Skin that appears taut or dehydrated
Skin that feels and looks rough rather than smooth 
Skin on the hands that can crack, bleed and feel sore
A thin, papery feel to the skin
An itching that can sometimes feel intense 
Redness

Causes include:

Hot or cold weather with low humidity levels. Dry skin is most common in the winter.
Long exposure to heating or air conditioning. 
Treating your skin to long or frequent showers or baths using hot water and harsh soaps.
Health factors including psoriasis, use of alcohol or drugs (prescription and over-the-counter), and dehydration.

Prevention and Cure:

At LanaB we suggest the following products from our range and the following skin care tips to beat dry skin.

• Firstly we recommend  cleansing the skin with our  Foaming Facial Cleanser for Dry Skin. This cleanser contains specific ingredients to nourish and nurture dry skin. Wheat Amino Acid helps counter dry skin as wheat germ is very high in natural Vitamin E and is extremely gentle on the skin, Rice Extract softens the skin allowing other ingredients to penetrate deeply and Vitamin E oil gives dry skin a deep nourishing treatment while cleansing the skin. We have added a hint of Rose Geranium Essential Oil for a little luxury.
  
• Secondly toning the skin with our Natural Freshener/Toner in Lavender helps removes any last traces of cleanser, adds extra moisture in the form of Aloe Vera and prepares the skin for the moisturiser. Lavender essential oil helps balance the skin, making it an ideal oil for dry skin.
  
• The third and final step in the process is to add moisture to the skin. At LanaB we not only do this but we also add active ingredients to our moisturisers that are beneficial to each skin type. For dry skin we recommend using our Fresh Face Lotion for dry skin. We have added Rice Bran Oil to our wonderful cream for dry skin. This oil is full of antioxidants, such as Vitamin E, ferulic acid (Ferulic acid helps to prevent damage to our cells caused by ultraviolet light.), linoleic acid (Vitamin F)(Accumulates in the epidermis and forms a barrier against moisture evaporation), oleic acid (helps skin heal), palmitic acid and oryzanol. Lavender oil, as stated above will help balance the oils in the skin and is also known for promoting the growth of new skin cells.
  
• Try bathing only once per day, for 15 minutes maximum, and use tepid water. Excess bathing or showering removes the skin's natural oils and dries out the skin.
  
• Don't use harsh soaps which can cause dry skin. Try natural soaps that don't strip the skin of natural oils.
  
• Avoid swimming in heavily-chlorinated water.
  
• After bathing or showering pat the skin gently to dry. Rubbing with a towel can irritate the skin and  remove even more moisture and oil from the skin.
  
• Consider using a humidifier to add moisture to the air in your home to prevent low humidity. 
   

Dry skin can often be treated successfully by the above methods however if the problem persists or is severe then it might be best to get professional advice and care.
