Skin problems can be of many types. Some have problems with dry skin, some have problems with oily skin, some have problems with acne, then some have problems with sensitive skin. Our skin barrier gets damaged due to many things. Our skin gets spoiled due to daily pollution, stress, the effect of chemicals on the skin and such reasons.

Due to all this, the skin always starts looking dry and full of pimples. For this, it is very important to use the right kind of ingredients on your skin. Dermatologist Dr Aanchal Panth of Dermafollix skin & hair transplant clinic has shared information related to this on her Instagram account. They believe that such ingredients are very important for dry skin, with the help of which moisture loss can be stopped from the skin.

1. Urea

Do not assume here that you have to apply manure on your face. Ingredients like urea are also found in many skin creams. Synthetic urea is widely used in skincare beauty products. Especially in such ingredients with the help of which exfoliation is done. You should get such creams etc. recommended by your doctor. Keep in mind that even DIY remedies related to urea can be very dangerous and therefore do not follow them alone.

2. Ceramides

If your skin is very dry and feels infected that looks red and itchy, it means that your skin barrier is damaged and you need ceramides. Ceramides reduce water loss from the skin. It also soothes skin irritation. Due to this, there is less dryness and itching is also less. You can choose products for your skincare in which ceramides are mixed.

3. Squalene

Squalene is made in our skin with the help of oil-forming glands and it is also extracted from natural olive oil. It is also available in soya or rice. It is the only kind of oil which is not sticky and has neither fragrance nor colour in it. It can make sensitive skin smooth.

4. Petrolatum / liquid paraffin

Petroleum jelly can prove to be a very good thing for dry skin. It is made up of highly refined mineral oils, which seal the moisture in the skin and also keep the skin surface smooth. It can significantly reduce water loss from the skin and keeps the skin hydrated for a long time.

5. Colloidal Oatmeal

If your skin is dry and itchy, look for an ingredient like oatmeal in your moisturizer. It can help a lot in reducing skin disorders. It contains avenanthramides which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

All these ingredients will prove to be very effective for women with dry skin. But if you have any skin related problems or beauty products do not suit you easily, then choose the ingredients for yourself only after consulting the doctor.
