WHAT IS DRY SKIN?

Dry skin is a skin type characterised by a lack of natural oils (sebum).

This makes it prone to rough texture, flakiness, and heightened sensitivity. Unlike dehydrated skin – which lacks water – dry skin struggles to retain both oil and moisture, leading to long-term discomfort if left untreated.

Signs of dry skin can present in several ways. In addition to flakiness and a rough, uneven texture, you may notice visible dry patches across the face. The skin may feel tight or itchy, particularly after cleansing or exposure to cold weather. Increased sensitivity and redness are also common, as dry skin tends to have a compromised barrier. Additionally, fine lines can appear more noticeable due to reduced suppleness and elasticity in the skin.

Dry skin can affect both the face and body, though the face is often where people notice it most.

WHAT CAUSES DRY SKIN?

While some people naturally have dry skin as their skin type, other factors can worsen the condition:

  • Age-related changes reducing oil production
  • Cold or windy weather
  • Hot showers or baths
  • Harsh soaps, skincare products, or over-cleansing
  • Skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis
  • Genetics and hormonal shifts

Understanding the cause is key to creating an effective treatment plan that addresses both immediate symptoms and long-term skin health.

UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF DRY SKIN

Dry skin doesn’t just affect how your skin looks – it can also lead to discomfort, itchiness, and increased sensitivity.

When the skin’s protective barrier is compromised, it becomes more vulnerable to environmental stress and irritation.

At Beauchamp Aesthetics, we focus on rehydrating, nourishing, and strengthening dry skin using evidence-based, non-surgical treatments that support your skin’s natural defences.
