Did you know that over 30 percent of German women suffer from dry skin? Symptoms range from rough or cracked patches to red or itchy areas of the face. This is sometimes due to the fact that the natural protective layer of the skin (also known as the hydrolipid film) is defective and moisture can escape. Which inevitably leads to the skin becoming rough and cracked. But where does the problem come from? In fact, several factors can contribute, such as the cold outside temperatures and the dry heating air in winter. But natural skin aging, poor nutrition and stress also promote dry facial skin. The question arises: How are the symptoms treated effectively?

Tip: Here, too, you should consult a doctor or pharmacist to be on the safe side.
In addition to the right care for dry facial skin, cleaning also plays an important role. It is therefore important that you only use mild (preferably pH-neutral) and preferably unscented products that do not dry out your skin. It is best to proceed as follows:
