Dry skin

Dry skin is characterized by a lack of lipids in the skin, which as a consequence weakens the skin’s hydrolipidic barrier. As a result, the skin is weakened against external aggressors.
How to choose the right sunscreen
Sunscreen care for dry skin should, above all, feature a formula enriched with moisturizing ingredients, since this is a key element to strengthening its barrier function. In addition, moisturizing actives will prevent some symptoms, typical for this type of skin, such as irritation, sensitivity, itching, and burning.

Similarly, as mentioned before, this skin is more sensitive to external aggressors and, therefore, sunscreens should contain anti-aging actives as well as antioxidants.

Prefer sunscreens with a high to very high sun protection index. That is SPF equal to or greater than 30 capable of protecting against UVB rays, as well as UVA radiation.
