Decoding Dry Skin: A Blogger’s Insight
Identifying Dry Skin
Dry skin isn’t just about feeling tight; it’s a nuanced dance of discomfort. It can manifest as flakiness, rough texture, redness, and even itching. The key is to identify whether your skin is naturally dry or if external factors like weather, harsh products, or dehydration are contributing to the issue.
Dermatologist’s Wisdom: The ABCs of Dry Skin Care
To understand the science behind dry skin and its solutions, I reached out to Dr. Helena Bergström, a renowned dermatologist known for her expertise in skincare.
Dr. Bergström emphasized the importance of a consistent skincare routine. “Hydration is the cornerstone of dry skin care,” she explained. “It’s crucial to use products that nourish and replenish the skin’s moisture barrier.”
