Dry Skin

Dry Skin is a visual and sometimes uncomfortable concern that many people face. It can be a seasonal discomfort or something more long-term. The symptoms of dry skin can vary from person to person and may include: itchiness, rough-looking and feeling skin, tight-feeling skin, and may cause slight or severe flaking of the skin or even peeling. Dry skin occurs when your skin loses water too quickly, and this can happen for a number of reasons. Let's delve into this further.

Dry skin occurs when your skin loses water too quickly, and this can happen for a number of reasons. Let's delve into this further.

What Causes Dry Skin on the Face?

Dry skin on the face can be caused by a number of reasons. Generally the skin is dry because of water loss from the outer layer of the skin. It may struggle to keep moisture locked into the cells and therefore can create easily compromised skin, which can be more susceptible to free radical damage and other more concerning and uncomfortable side effects. The causes of this may include:

  • Environmental factors, such as colder weather, windy conditions, or low-humidity climates can be punishing on the skin.

  • Heat can be a factor, from central heating, or fireplaces, as they reduce the humidity.

  • Certain soaps and chemicals from shampoos can strip moisture from your skin, creating dry conditions after regular use. Some of these types of products are formulated to remove oil, so be cautious of what you're putting on your skin.

  • Hot showers or baths can contribute to dry skin. The length of time your skin is exposed to hot water and steam can dry out the moisture in your skin. Bathing too often (more than once per day) can remove the natural oils from your skin.

  • Other skin conditions can make your skin more prone to dryness, such as eczema or psoriasis.

  • Ageing is also a contributing factor to dry skin. As the skin begins to thin and produce less oil, its harder for the skin to retain water. Menopause and hormonal changes can also be a culprit for women.

  • Genetics - yep, just another thing to blame on your parents! Unfortunately dry skin is a condition that can be inherited.

 

Internal Skin Care for Dry Skin

Fortunately, Advanced Nutrition Programme offers supplements to feed dry skin the necessary vitamins and nutrients it needs to stay hydrated and healthy, from the inside out. Our supplements are unique because our nutritional experts synergise vitamins and minerals together in one formula, instead of using just one ingredient. By fusing multiple ingredients, each supplement has been specialised for overall skin health and a specific skin concern. They believe this is the key to better absorption of nutrients as some will compete with another for absorption in the body. We offer a range of high quality supplements that would support your dry skin concerns.

 

Skin Omegas for Dry Skin

Among the numerous benefits of taking omegas, those related to skin health are particularly significant. Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are essential for maintaining the skin's surface layers, aiding in moisture retention and hydration.

Our Skin Omegas+ is a specially formulated, sustainable skin supplement. Synergising Omega 3, Omega 6 from evening primrose oil and vitamin A. This formulation works like an internal moisturiser to nourish and support hydrated-looking skin. Vitamin A is a key ingredient for skin health, and omegas 3 and 6 are important for skin integrity and creating a luminous-looking complexion. They also target dry and rough skin all over the body, not just on the face.

Skin Omegas+ have a mild odour with no fishy after taste thanks to our high quality practises. The steaming and charcoal filtration used on our fish oils goes above and beyond the norm within the supplement industry. Some fish oils may be highly processed using hexane, a chemical compound, which is a key component of gasoline.

“The signs of ‘chemically cleaning’ of fish oil are usually apparent due to a very strong fish smell and presence of the ethyl-ester (EE) forms on the ingredient list,” explains Paul Naude, quality and regulatory affairs manager for the Advanced Nutrition Programme™.

Our Skin Omegas+ are encased in a premium fish gelatine soft gel to offer protection as well as including a natural vitamin E antioxidant as a preservative. Read more about our what makes our Skin Omegas+ special here.

 

Vitamin A for Dry Skin

Vitamin A is a widely talked about skin vitamin because it offers benefits not only to the skin but also overall well-being. Our Skin Vit A+ supplement is a staple for anyones skincare routine as it synergises vitamins A and D to help maintain normal skin health and assist with skin cell rejuvenation.

Vitamin A, also known as retinol, is renowned for its skin-enhancing properties as it contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and plays a crucial role in cell specialisation. Our Skin Vit A+ formula also includes vitamin D for its contribution to the maintenance of normal bones, normal muscle function and normal immune system function.

It's suitable for all skin types and skin concerns, and is especially helpful for dry skin as it helps to support the skins immunity as well as the creation and repair of skin cells, paving the way for happy, healthy skin!

Skin Vit A+ is the perfect foundation supplement for dry skin. As your skin is a two-sided organ, it's important to remember that you should treat it as such. Using topical skincare such as a vitamin A serum or moisturiser only treats 50% of your skin, however by implementing skin supplements into your daily routine you can achieve 100% skincare by feeding your skin inside and out.
