Dry skin can be very problematic. Usually, people would turn to moisturizers in order to hydrate their skin and reduce the dryness. Before you start searching for a product to moisturize your skin though, you need to know the cause or the reasons behind the dryness.

You use a setting spray

A lot of experts recommend that you use a setting spray after applying makeup. But keep in mind that not all setting sprays are good for you. This is because most of them contain alcohol as one of the main ingredients. Because of this, using the spray may cause dryness of the skin as well as irritation

Para qué sirven los SPRAYS FIJADORES ⁉️ – Tienen estas funciones: 1. Unos, crean una pantalla protectora para que el maquillaje se vuelva a prueba de agua y resista más horas. 2. Otros, ayudan a difuminar el maquillaje para que no se vea “cakey”, polvoso o pesado. También suelen usarse cuando quieres revivir o refrescar tu maquillaje después de varias horas – Yo uso ambos cuando me maquillo a mi o a una clienta, ya que tienen diferentes usos – Para la primer función mi TOP es: 1. The makeup finishing spray de @skindinavia lo amo para las novias (es el que estoy usando en la foto) 2. De slick de @urbandecaycosmetics me encanta para pieles grasas porque les controla el brillo . Para la segunda función mi TOP es: 1. Beauty elixir de @caudalie huele a spa delicioso, todas mis clientas siempre me preguntan que es ese olor 2. Fixplus de @maccosmetics un clásico, además lo uso para intensificar las sombras metálicas, brillosas o el iluminador en polvo 3. Fix Makeup de @clarinsmx – #makeup #mua #settingsprays #fixplus #daslick #beautyelixir #makeupartist #makeuptips #fixingspray #caudalie #mac #urbandecay #clarins

You use an anti-aging product which contains retinol

Although retinol is a common ingredient of anti-aging products, it has some potential negative side effects. One common side effect is developing a dry and flaky skin. So check the label of your product before you use it on your face.

You use a face wash that dries out the skin

Another product’s label for you to check is your face wash. There are some cleansers out there which, though effective, may strip off the necessary oils of the skin while cleansing the face of toxins and impurities.
