We all know how important is taking care of facial skin. Here we have an interview with the dermatologist Dr. Neil Niren from Dermatology Practice Neil Niren MD, Pittsburgh who will give some useful advice on how to get better skin.
No matter how dry your skin is, it is very important to gently clean your face before going to sleep. Makeup, bacteria, air pollution, dead skin cells and creams you use during the day, damages your skin by getting into your pores. Neil Niren MD brings that many dermatologists suggest that it is not necessary to repeat the process in the morning; it is enough to wash your face with water when you wake up.
Soap or Not?
Certain soap ingredients degrade the essential fatty acids that protect the skin from losing water. Use soap without soap, advises Dr. Neil. With them you can also cleanse the skin and not compromise the skin's natural barrier.
How to Choose a Facial Cleanser?
When it comes to choosing a mild product with extra moisturizers, Dr Neil Niren MD recommends products with synthetic ceramides. To a certain extent they can replace the natural ceramides or essential fatty acids. He thinks it's for the best to try and avoid products with fragrance, chemicals and alcohol. Also, one should avoid antibacterial soaps.
Water and Dryness of the Skin
Showering and hot tubs add moisture to your skin but it can also dry out your skin, removing the protective layers of fat from the skin. The warmer the water, the faster and easier to remove the protective layers of fat from your skin, shares Dr Niren. Limit yourself to less than 15-minute of showering with hot water and close the bathroom door to retain the moisture in the room, say from Neil Niren Practice.
Be Gentle With Your Skin
Harder, more and longer aren't words for dry skin. Be gentle with your skin and use circular motion. In particular, be careful with the region around the eyes, says Neil Niren MD.
Skin Moisturizers
Moisturizes don’t actually add the necessary moisture to the skin. In fact they only prevent the existing skin moisture from evaporating, says Neil Niren MD. It is best to use them in the evening after cleansing the face and in the morning after washing the face and the skin is clean. If you want to use them during the day, it is not necessary to pre-clean the face. Avoid moisturizers with fragrances or retinoid. They irritate the dry skin. Oils and creams are more effective than lotions. Substances like glycerol and propylene glycol enable the retention of water within the first skin layer. Emollients, such as petrolatum, lanolin, mineral oil, and dimethicone retain water in the skin and form a thin film on the surface, says Neil Niren medical doctor specialized in dermatology.
Mechanical Peeling
Peeling removes dead skin cells from the skin surface and thus allowing better penetration of moisturizers into the skin. However, be careful with peelings because they can damage the dry skin. Avoid fruit acids pilings because they especially dry the skin.
