Serious skin care vs. winter weather, cleansers, and stress. Serious skin care fights moisture stolen from skin. The latest intensive creams are like dryness police, working night and day to protect and replenish.When it comes to moisturizers, they can be too rich or too thick. Serious skin care goes well beyond cold cream and petroleum jelly, today’s skin care products are remedies for dry skin and are packed with sophisticated ingredients. Now, natural skin care companies think they have fixed final frontier, ten-ply cashmere of hydration: super rich, long-lasting, and ultra-healing. Dry skin is a probably most common complaint. In a recent survey, 60% of a sample of women cited it as their top serious skin care concern, even ahead of wrinkles. Over 70% said their body was dry in winter and 40% said it was their face (vs. 34% and 15%, respectively, in summer). Since 1970s, scientists have reported a global rise in frequency of dry skin. Nobody knows why for sure. Part of answer is linked to increase in people’s exposure to chemicals, pollution, and acid rain. Our hydration expectations have shifted from flawlessly powdered, matte skin to more realistic dewy complexions. Serious skin care experts also state dry skin is a topic that is commonly discussed. There is no standard definition for condition. Even if you recognize it only by its symptoms: scaling, tightness, lines, irritation, and itchiness. The immediate cause is a disturbance in skins outermost layer, which is made up of skin cells and lipids, fatty substances that help maintain moisture in skin. When balance of lipids get upset, skin loses water, and skin cells, normally shed unnoticed, accumulate as white flakes. Serious skin care experts say many dry-skin sufferers inherit condition, but stress can also be a trigger.

The sale of specialty skin care products exploded when study was understood.
