Many women face the problem of dry skin on their face, which is usually accompanied by tightness, irritation, and flaking. Wrinkles appear more often on such a face, since the skin is more susceptible to loss of elasticity. What can you do to provide your skin with the necessary hydration and eliminate unwanted signs of dryness?
There are many cosmetics and treatments for this type of skin, some even use hemorrhoid cream for this, but it is always possible to make anti-wrinkle masks for faces with dry skin from natural products at home.
Causes of dryness
What causes fluid loss? The skin consists of several layers:
- dermis
- epidermis
- outer stratum corneum
The epidermis and cells of the stratum corneum protect the dermis from environmental influences. Namely, the dermis contains 80% of fluid, which provides elasticity. If the protective layer is thin, it is difficult for it to retain fluid in the dermis. Without such necessary help, the skin rapidly loses moisture. And this happens even more intensely under the influence of external irritating factors: heat, frost, wind.
It is important to know that there are two types of dry skin:
- This type is given to man by nature. The skin is delicate, does not cause problems at a young age, without oily shine and acne, but over time it is susceptible to the early appearance of wrinkles and peeling.
- The skin becomes like this due to dehydration. This can happen to any skin type as a result of insufficient hydration or excessive drying with special products.
If you have doubts about determining your skin type, you can perform a simple test:
- Wash thoroughly
- Wipe your face
- Do not apply any creams or cosmetics to your face
- After a couple of hours, apply a paper napkin to your face.
If no wet marks appear on the napkin, then the skin is dry. When spots appear in the area of the nose, forehead, and chin, we can confidently say that the skin is oily.
The main reasons why the skin becomes dry:
- Disturbance in the functioning of the sebaceous glands
- Dry air
- Frequent exposure to sun and frost
- Prolonged stay in water
- Washing with hot water
- Poor quality cosmetics, excessive use of cosmetics
- Using Soap
- Frequent peeling
- Not enough vitamins
- Various skin diseases
- Diseases of the stomach and intestines, thyroid gland, nervous system
- Side effects of some medications
- Poor nutrition, diets
- Smoking
- Lack of proper facial care
- Hormonal changes/pregnancy, menopause, hormone therapy
- Age-related changes
Dry air, especially during the cold season, is one of the most common causes of skin dehydration; it makes the skin dull and lifeless. Frost, strong wind, high temperature, low humidity are dangerous for all skin types, especially if it is naturally dry and thin. A similar effect occurs with frequent visits to the solarium.
The same negative effect is produced by hot water, and even with the use of soap. In this case, the natural fat layer is washed out, while the skin dries out and tightens.
But the body must receive a sufficient amount of fluid. Violation of the water balance, resulting from improper organization of the diet or certain diets, will first be reflected on the face.
Diseases such as diabetes, dysbacteriosis, eczema also affect dry skin. A malfunction of the thyroid gland reduces the production of fats, as a result the skin loses its elasticity and dries out. A number of medications (antibiotics, diuretics) can have a side effect that deprives the skin of sufficient moisture.
Dry skin type is the most sensitive to hormonal changes. The main factor influencing the formation of dry dermis is a malfunction of the sebaceous glands. But this can be influenced by weather conditions and incorrectly selected cosmetics, as well as poor ecology, bad habits, and even active facial expressions and the length of time spent in front of a computer monitor.
How to use anti-wrinkle masks on dry skin
Before you begin health procedures, you need to find out what caused dry skin and eliminate the root causes. Otherwise, no surface applied products will cope with the problem.
There are myths about proper care for this skin type:
- Sometimes you can hear the misconception that dry skin care is practically unnecessary. This decision is formed among young representatives of the fair half. But having crossed the threshold of thirty years, the natural aging process begins in the body. And it is dry skin that suffers the most due to the lack of mandatory care. Therefore, the early appearance of facial wrinkles is noted.
- Someone claims that after turning 30, no matter what you do, wrinkles will still appear on dry skin. The body really ages, and this cannot be prevented, but there is always the opportunity to slow down this process. Well-groomed skin ages slower and certainly looks better. Correct actions allow you to keep your skin young, and even at a more mature age, wrinkles will be practically invisible.
You can achieve the best positive results, both for prevention and for getting rid of wrinkles on the face with dry skin, by using homemade cosmetic masks. After all, they are filled with natural beneficial ingredients. When preparing it yourself, there is no need to doubt whether chemical ingredients have been added to the composition.
When choosing mask recipes, it is better to focus on options that produce a nourishing and moisturizing effect.
These masks are aimed at achieving the following effects:
- Restoring water balance
- Rejuvenation
- Smoothing out wrinkles
- Maximum moisture retention
Many people note that after regular use of homemade masks, the skin looks smooth, healthy, and matte.
You need to use homemade care products 2-3 times a week before going to bed for 15-20 minutes. After rinsing, apply a proven moisturizing night cream. It is better to alternate masks.

Contraindications, side effects
Masks prepared at home from natural ingredients have virtually no contraindications. Apart from individual intolerance to some product or allergy to a component of the mask, they cannot cause any harm. But there are many options for masks, so you can easily replace one recipe with another, where all the ingredients are suitable for a specific person.
Sometimes you can find recipes where lemon juice is included in the mask. This product should be used with caution if you have dry skin, as the thin epidermis is especially susceptible to irritation. Acid threatens to cause severe burning and redness.
If a capillary mesh appears on the skin of the face, then it is necessary to avoid including honey in the masks, as it has a vasodilating effect.
Those with dry skin with early wrinkles should not despair.
Using simple recipes for masks prepared at home, in the near future you will be happy to look in the mirror. It's great to feel healthy and beautiful.
