Dryness

Flakiness, visibly roughness, itchiness and blotchy patches… these are the signs you may have dry skin. The good news? Beverly Hills MD has industry-leading skincare products that are formulated to deeply hydrate, soothe, and smooth your skin for a more youthful (and hydrated) appearance.

How Common Is Dry Skin?

Dry skin is extremely common, especially in more mature skin. By the age of 60, nearly everyone occasionally deals with dry skin.

What Causes Dry Skin?

When it comes to dry skin, there are many factors at play. First, natural aging is a major factor. As we age, our skin produces less oil, which can leave skin dry. Production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid also decreases, which causes skin to become thinner, more fragile, and more easily dehydrated.

Environmental factors, like low humidity levels, extreme cold in the winter, and even extra hot water in a bath can also play a role. If you suffer from chronically dry skin, you may want to consult your doctor and ask about the possibility of side effects from medication, a vitamin deficiency, or an underlying medical condition.

How Can I Prevent Dry Skin?

The great news is that it’s easy to tend to dry skin right from home. It all boils down to one word: moisturize. To help keep a youthful bounce to your skin, be sure to hydrate using creams and moisturizers made for dry skin.

But not just any product will do. Be sure to seek out one with science-backed, high quality ingredients, like collagen-boosting peptides and hydrating hyaluronic acid. You’ll find products with these powerhouse ingredients and more at Beverly Hills MD.
