Mask for dry skin

Dry skin is a precursor to the appearance of wrinkles. To prevent unwanted cell aging, special, delicate care is needed. It is important to provide hydration and nutrition of the epidermis: this will help relieve the feeling of discomfort and prolong youth. Mask for dry skin of the face is an effective cosmetic procedure that has a noticeable result in the course of application.

Dry skin ages faster: even small wrinkles are more noticeable on it than on oily skin. This problem is faced by many of the fair sex. In this case, you need special control over the condition of the skin and the work of the sebaceous glands.

Despite promising advertisements, many moisturizers fail to do the job. Their effect is not aimed at long-term protection of cells from moisture loss. In addition, they do not penetrate deep into the pores, as they are in contact with the dermis for a shorter amount of time. This allows you to moisturize the surface of the skin, but for a short time.

The action of the mask has a longer effect. Its effectiveness is explained by the fact that during the cosmetic procedure, the active substances have time to penetrate into the deep layers of the dermis. This allows you to soften not only the surface layer, but saturate with nutrients and moisturize the skin from the inside. The benefits of a face mask for dry skin include:
