The Best 7 Moisturizers for Dry Skin

Dealing with dry skin poses a variety of challenges to many individuals, from the persistent itchy feeling to increased sensitivity and flakiness. For many ladies, it becomes challenging to attain lasting comfort and a smooth, healthy complexion. However, the solution to combating dry skin is proper and consistent moisturisation.

Moisturising your dry skin helps you replenish lost moisture, alleviate discomfort, prevent skin irritation, and promote a supple, radiant appearance. This is why Beyond Med Plus is highlighting in this guide the seven best moisturisers that are specifically formulated to prevent dry skin in beautiful Nigerian ladies.

Each product is proven to give you the beautiful, hydrated, and healthy glow your skin deserves. However, before diving into our curated selections, let's examine what causes dry skin and why moisturising is crucial.

Common Causes of Dry Skin

Many factors contribute to dry skin, from genetics to environmental factors and even your health status. However, the common causes of dry skin include:

• Ecological Factors: Harsh weather conditions like low humidity in the air, harmful weather seasons, and cold winds often strip away the skin's natural moisture barrier, leading to increased dryness.
• Genetics: Some individuals are genetically predisposed to having less oil production in their skin, making them naturally more prone to experiencing dry skin.
• Harsh Soaps & Cleansers: Many conventional soaps and cleansers contain strong detergents that can affect your skin's natural oil. This disrupts the natural moisture balance, causing dryness.
• Ageing: As we grow older, our skin's ability to retain moisture and produce sebum naturally decreases, resulting in drier and more delicate skin.
• Certain Medical Conditions: Conditions such as diabetes, psoriasis, and eczema can affect your skin's normal function and moisture retention, occasionally resulting in dryness and discomfort.

Why It's Important to Keep Your Skin Moisturised

There are many benefits to keeping your dry skin consistently moisturised. Some of these benefits include:

• To Replenish Lost Moisture: Moisturisers plant hydrating ingredients and essential water directly to your skin's surface, helping to counteract the lack of natural oil. This, in turn, alleviates dryness.
• Reduces Itching and Flaking: Adequate hydration soothes irritated skin by minimising the uncomfortable sensations of itching, tightness, and the visible appearance of flakiness.
• Prevents Water Loss: The ingredients in moisturisers create a protective seal on your skin's surface, which helps reduce water loss from within.
• Strengthen the Skin Barrier: By providing lipids and other barrier-repairing components, moisturisers help fortify your skin's outer layer, making it more resilient against irritants and moisture loss.
