How to treat dry skin? Key ingredients that will help relieve dry skin
Treatment of dry skin requires a specialized approach and the use of preparations based on ingredients selected specifically for this purpose. What ingredients are key to relieving dry skin and will help you get rid of this unpleasant condition?
A comprehensive approach to the problem of dry skin
When looking for a solution to the problem of dry skin, it is crucial to consider all characteristics of xerosis, more commonly known as dry skin1:
Scaling and itching
Loss of natural moisturizing factors
Inflammation
Disturbed cell renewal process
Loss of lipids
The inside-out approach
If you are looking for rapid relief of symptoms and lasting moisturization for your skin, the inside-out approach is the answer. Contrary to the outside-in approach, which tackles symptoms of dry skin only partially, the inside-out approach focuses on all of the characteristics at once. This is possible by using ingredients that provide answers to every aspect of dry skin.
Bepanthen® Derma special Dexpanthenol Repair Complex contains:
- Dexpanthenol, which works deep within the skin to repair the disrupted cell renewal process
- Vitamin B3 to soothe itchy dry skin
- Natural lipids including Shea Butter and Argan Oil to replace lost skin lipids
- Glycerine to provide immediate and long-lasting moisturisation
In addition to utilising a combination of key ingredients which ensures a holistic approach to treating dry skin, Bepanthen® Derma products are free of fragrance, preservatives, soap and colorants, which can cause skin irritation. Try the inside-out approach and break the dry skin cycle!
