Your Personalized Overview
Your skin profile is a combination of dryness and sensitivity. Below are some of the keys to your skin:
Fair Skin - naturally more sensitive and dry than other types, so controlling inflammation and being gentle are key. Avoid mechanical exfoliators, always use bare hands.
Hydration, Internal & External - your skin is your largest organ, and any internal balances will show. Try to get at least 8 to 9 cups of water a day, and use a gentle hydrating moisturizer.
Simplistic Routine - the less products you use, the better. Your skin is sensitive, and you should avoid foaming and soap based cleansers that strip the skin of natural oils.
Things That May Affect Your Skin
Genetics
80% of your skin is typically inherited. If people in your family generally have dryer skin, then chances are your natural levels of skin hydration is inherited. Although there's nothing you can do about genetics, keeping consistently hydrated with a lightweight moisturizer can prevent most dry skin problems.
Cigarettes
Smoking can dramatically speed up the aging process. The nicotine in cigarettes reduces the blood flow and oxygen to the skin, which results in premature sagging and aging of the skin.
Hydration
If you do not use a moisturizer in your daily skin routine, your skin may not be getting the adequate hydration it needs to have a youthful, glowing look. When choosing products, look for an ingredient such as Hyaluronic Acid (HA). HA is an extremely powerful moisturizing ingredient, that can hold and retain water in the skin.
