The skin barrier is the first major line of protective defense for the skin and the human body to defend and protect itself. However, external factors such as the sun , pollution , dust , stress or cold continually put it to the test. Its repeated and continuous action on healthy skin weakens it, causing dryness and tightness.

Find out what care routine your hair needs to keep it healthy and protect it from this annoying sensation.

WHY IS THE SKIN ON MY FACE PULLING?

The feeling of tightness is very common in both dry and dehydrated skin, two interrelated conditions:

• Dehydrated skin has a lack of water and can affect all skin types, whether dry, oily or combination.

• Dry skin lacks epidermal lipids , which is the oily substance produced by the skin's sebaceous glands.

In both cases, the consequence is an imbalance in the hydrolipidic film - made up of water and lipids, as its name indicates - reducing the skin's protective capacity.

To compensate for daily water loss, be sure to drink water in the recommended amounts.

Now, there is a big difference between them . Being a condition, dry skin always pulls and can even worsen if she is also dehydrated.

Dehydrated skin , on the other hand, is a circumstantial or punctual condition.

For all these reasons, in both cases, it is crucial to provide adequate care.

KEEP YOUR SKIN NOURISHED AND HYDRATED

Use cosmetics whose active ingredients deeply moisturize and whose textures and formulas adapt to your skin type . If it pulls, it's because it urgently needs a good dose of hydration.

Among the most miraculous active ingredients is hyaluronic acid . Thanks to its amazing ability to retain up to 1000 times its own weight in water, it is able to deeply hydrate even the deepest layers.

The Microbiome-Boosting Ultra-Hydrating Serum contains hyaluronic acid of different molecular weights , capable of penetrating to the deepest layers, providing a truly super-hydrating treatment for dry, dehydrated skin.

In case of extremely dry skin, its moisturizing agents help to balance its condition.

For extra nourishment for your skin, combine this serum with The Cream , a moisturizing cream with ceramides, peptides and avocado oil, rich in fatty acids. This rich and nourishing formula restores suppleness and well-being to dry skin.

Use them day and night for true skin-transforming power: deeply hydrated and nourished skin appears younger, smoother and more luminous.

The feeling of tight skin can be an indication of dehydration in the upper layers of the skin. In extreme cases, this lack of hydration can lead to flaky and extremely dry skin. Hydration is crucial to keeping skin supple and healthy. By providing adequate hydration, the skin’s natural barrier is restored, helping to prevent tightness and associated discomfort.

If your skin is combination or oily , deeply hydrate it , combat shine , oil production and signs of aging with the Sebum-Regulating Serum .

WHAT TO DO TO PREVENT DEHYDRATION

Don't forget that although cosmetics are key, it is also essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle. If you want to maximize the well-being and beauty of your skin, incorporate these small habits into your life:

• Increase your consumption of healthy fats : oily fish, virgin olive oil, and nuts with shells such as walnuts or almonds.

• Hydration is important. Drink at least 2 liters of water a day .

• In summer, protect it from excessive air conditioning.

• In winter, avoid setting the heating too high.

• If the environment is very dry , use a humidifier that maintains an optimal level of humidity in the air.

Pay attention to how you clean your face to avoid tightness

Did you know that excessive cleaning , using overly aggressive products or using very hot water can cause your skin to become tight?

You already know that you should never skip facial cleansing in your cosmetic routine. Sensitive, dry, oily skin, it doesn't matter. In all cases, it is an essential and non-negotiable step in skin care, if you want to show off a radiant and healthy complexion.

But be careful! Not with any product or in any way.

CHOOSE PRODUCTS ADAPTED TO YOUR NEEDS AND PREFERABLY NATURAL

If you notice that your skin feels tight when you wash your face, it is a sign that the product you are using is altering its natural barrier with the risk of accentuating expression lines , increasing the chances of having an acne breakout or increasing flaking.

Choose products that respect your skin's pH , with natural ingredients that add to, rather than detract from, its natural balance.

Wash your face morning and night , no more. In the morning, to remove traces of grease, sweat, etc. that have been generated during the night, and at night to remove dirt, sweat, traces of makeup, etc. accumulated during the day.

Washing your skin more often could put your skin's barrier function at risk. In the case of oily skin , it also causes increased oil production.

Lack of hydration can aggravate expression lines, making them more pronounced. Dehydrated skin can worsen other skin conditions, such as rosacea, which can make blood vessels more noticeable.

AVOID VERY HOT WATER

It is recommended to use lukewarm water , similar to our body temperature, around 37º. At higher temperatures, your skin can suffer damage, as well as running a greater risk of premature aging. Special attention should be paid to atopic dermatitis.

Whatever your skin type, we recommend OhMyKoko's Exfoliating Renewing Cleansing Gel , a more effective and respectful skincare product with +99% of ingredients of natural origin .

Among them you will find oat extract and 5 alpha hydroxy fruit acids for deep cleansing while pampering and moisturizing your skin.

At the end, far from feeling tight, the skin feels an incredible sensation of well-being and softness. Its enormous advantage is that while it cleans, it exfoliates, freeing the surface of your skin from dead cells and leaving it ready to receive 100% of the properties of the rest of the active ingredients in your cosmetic routine.

Avoid washing your face with water that is too hot. Use lukewarm water. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser in the morning and at night, no more. Choose natural products that respect your skin and its balance. Include fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidant vitamins and minerals in your daily diet.
