General Health Information

Dry skin
care products are eventually needed by everyone due to the natural
process of aging. The repair and regeneration of the sebaceous glands
makes them less efficient and the body naturally begins to produce
fewer and fewer of the hormones that regulate oil production. Aging
does not generally cause an overproduction of sebum but problems during
menopause may make specialized skin care products necessary.

The elastin fibers also become damaged when we become dehydrated
because the skin becomes dry and cannot stretch as far as it can if
properly hydrated. Aside from the sun, dehydration is the next biggest
reason why we need dry skin care
products and other remedies to help combat the signs of aging.
Therefore, avoid any behavior or product that will cause dehydration
and the need for skin care moisturizers and creams, such as:
caffeinated beverages or products, consuming more than 1 drink of
alcohol per night, swimming in chlorinated water, using tanning beds or
being in direct sunlight between 11 am and 3 pm (when the suns rays are
strongest), using laxatives, diet pills, or any product made with
stimulants and toxins found in foods, medications, skin care and makeup
products-all cause dehydration and will lead to increased numbers of
free radicals.
