However, this vitamin offers several other benefits to your skin. Some of the most remarkable skin benefits of Vitamin C are discussed in the following sections.</p><p><br></p><h3>Delays premature skin aging</h3><p>Environmental stressors like UV rays and pollution lead to the formation of free radicals in your body. These are highly reactive components that increase oxidative stress, which disrupts different bodily mechanisms and can trigger premature aging. Being an antioxidant, Vitamin C neutralizes these free radicals, thus reducing oxidative stress and delaying premature aging</p><p><br></p><h3>Even Skin Tones</h3><p>Experts often recommend Vitamin C serum for glowing skin and even skin tone. It is because this vitamin can inhibit the production of melanin, the skin pigment. This reduces hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and acne scars, giving way to a brighter and more uniform complexion. Vitamin C is especially effective in remedying your skin's sun spots.</p><p><br></p><h3>Anti-Inflammatory</h3><p>Vitamin C has powerful anti-inflammatory properties that help calm irritation and inflammation in your skin. This visibly reduces redness and soothes <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/skin-concern/acne-blemishes\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"category\" data-link-label=\"Acne &amp; Blemishes\" data-category-id=\"acne\" data-category-catalog-id=\"storefront-galderma-in\">acne-prone</a> skin, making it less sensitive to the usual triggers.</p><p><br></p><h3>Stimulates Collagen Production</h3><p>Collagen is a vital protein for supporting the elasticity of your skin and your body requires Vitamin C to produce collagen. The presence of this protein in ample amounts helps in boosting the firmness and elasticity of your skin and reduces sagging. This diminishes the prominence of fine lines and wrinkles, imparting a plump and youthful look to your skin.</p><p><br></p><h3>Helps Skin Retain Moisture</h3><p>Vitamin C strengthens your skin barrier, thus improving its ability to retain moisture. This prevents water loss from the skin and leads to better <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/skin-concern/dryness\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"category\" data-link-label=\"Dryness\" data-category-id=\"dryness\" data-category-catalog-id=\"storefront-galderma-in\">hydration</a>, ensuring that your skin stays soft, glowy, and hydrated throughout the day. This is even more effective when you combine a Vitamin C serum with a <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/moisturizers\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"category\" data-link-label=\"Moisturiser\" data-category-id=\"moisturizers\" data-category-catalog-id=\"storefront-galderma-in\">good moisturizer</a>, especially in dry climates.</p>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#5E656B" } }, { "id" : "d827f50ed29876acab9b9caed4", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.photoTile", "data" : { "image" : { "path" : "/SEO_Images/Drop of water representing moisture in skin.png", "focal_point" : { "x" : 0.5, "y" : 0.5 }, "meta_data" : { "height" : 338, "width" : 433 } }, "fullBleed" : false, "photoAlign" : "Center", "alt" : "Drop of Water Represents Moisture in Skin" } }, { "id" : "59267f061292d17ca936b756de", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "24" } }, { "id" : "9ad99d9725e8b0c67f5c337921", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "32" } }, { "id" : "56d6a15f6b43cfb1819c2780f4", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "hideInDesktop" : false, "textAlignMobile" : "center", "isRebranding" : false, "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<h2>When to Apply Vitamin C Serum</h2>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#004987 " } }, { "id" : "74c599c3a80bffa0046c52b5bb", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { } }, { "id" : "12b863187ca3975a6183a45ec7", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "hideInDesktop" : false, "textAlignMobile" : "center", "isRebranding" : false, "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<p>Vitamin C serum is most effective when applied at the right time. “When to apply Vitamin C serum” is a common question these days.

Unlike chemical filters, physical blockers sit on your skin's surface and reflect the UV rays without being absorbed into the skin. This minimizes the risk of irritation.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>● Non-comedogenic Ingredients: Choose a sunscreen labelled as non-comedogenic. This means that the product does not contain any ingredients that would block your skin pores and cause irritation and breakouts.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>● Hypoallergenic Ingredients: Sensitive skin is more prone to allergic reactions triggered by the ingredients in a skincare product.

Similarly, using a serum at night gives your skin time to get on board with these products and wake up with all the benefits that a serum can bring. </p>\n</div>\n</br>" } }, { "id" : "4786f6317608822b8e6957b6cd", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { } } ] } ] } ] } ] } ] } ] }, { "id" : "cef81c03080b5d0d1a141d7865", "type_id" : "commerce_layouts.mobileGrid1r1c", "data" : { "fullHeight" : false, "bgBackgroundColor" : "", "fullWidth" : false, "heightSetByContentMobile" : false, "mobilebgBackgroundColor" : "", "backgroundImageAlignment" : "top", "heightSetByContentDesktop" : false, "xlfullWidth" : false, "mobilebgBackground" : { "path" : "/images/mobb.png", "focal_point" : { "x" : 0.5, "y" : 0.5 }, "meta_data" : { "height" : 974, "width" : 640 } }, "bgBackground" : { "path" : "/images/blue-back-new.png", "focal_point" : { "x" : 0.5, "y" : 0.5 }, "meta_data" : { "height" : 1432, "width" : 2600 } } }, "regions" : [ { "id" : "column1", "components" : [ { "id" : "ee6405ae17717211543e764ada", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "41" } }, { "id" : "f86420e123f9f48dda9e110fbc", "type_id" : "dynamic.productCarouselCat", "data" : { "fullWidth" : false, "mdCarouselDots" : false, "xsCarouselSlidesToDisplay" : 2, "textHeadline" : "ALL MOISTURIZERS", "bgAccent" : false, "smCarouselSlidesToDisplay" : 3, "xsCarouselArrows" : false, "disableSubTextHeadline" : true, "smCarouselArrows" : true, "mdCarouselArrows" : true, "smCarouselDots" : false, "mdCarouselSlidesToDisplay" : 4, "category" : "moisturizers", "xsCarouselDots" : true } } ] } ] }, { "id" : "05b5ca8e30122706dc6d37ee5b", "type_id" : "commerce_layouts.mobileGrid1r1c", "data" : { "fullHeight" : false, "bgBackgroundColor" : "", "fullWidth" : false, "heightSetByContentMobile" : false, "mobilebgBackgroundColor" : "", "backgroundImageAlignment" : "top", "heightSetByContentDesktop" : false, "xlfullWidth" : false }, "regions" : [ { "id" : "column1", "components" : [ { "id" : "de465cf100eee61aa4221e81a5", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "41" } }, { "id" : "c92b32ff990808a308277d75f2", "type_id" : "commerce_layouts.separator", "data" : { "bgBackgroundColor" : "", "bgAccent" : false }, "regions" : [ { "id" : "additions", "components" : [ { "id" : "96482baef2c04f62fb0d44adc4", "type_id" : "dynamic.subCatArticleSlider", "data" : { "fullWidth" : false, "mdCarouselDots" : false, "xsCarouselSlidesToDisplay" : 2, "textHeadline" : "Related Articles", "bgAccent" : false, "smCarouselSlidesToDisplay" : 3, "subTextHeadline" : "SEE ALL ARTICLES", "xsCarouselArrows" : false, "disableSubTextHeadline" : false, "smCarouselArrows" : true, "mdCarouselArrows" : true, "smCarouselDots" : false, "mdCarouselSlidesToDisplay" : 4, "category" : "skin-tips-howto", "xsCarouselDots" : true } } ] } ] } ] } ] } ] } ] }

Cetaphil offers different cleansers catering to various skin types:</p><h4><br></h4><h4>Oily Skin</h4><p>For <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/skin-type/oily-skin\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"category\" data-link-label=\"Oily Skin\" data-category-id=\"oily-skin\" data-category-catalog-id=\"storefront-galderma-in\">oily skin</a>, it's important to use a cleanser that controls excess oil without stripping away natural moisture. <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/products/cleansers/oily-skin-cleanser/8906005274090.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"8906005274090\" data-product-id=\"8906005274090\">Cetaphil's Oily Skin Cleanser</a> is a great option, as it gently removes oil and dirt, unclogs pores, and prevents acne breakouts. It’s lightweight and non-greasy, leaving your skin feeling fresh without that tight or dry sensation. Use it twice daily for the best results.</p><h4><br></h4><h4>Dry Skin</h4><p><a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/skin-type/dry-skin\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"category\" data-link-label=\"Dry Skin\" data-category-id=\"dry-skin\" data-category-catalog-id=\"storefront-galderma-in\">Dry skin</a> requires a cleanser that hydrates while cleansing. <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/products/cleansers/gentle-skin-cleanser/8906005274105.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"8906005274105\" data-product-id=\"8906005274105\">Cetaphil’s Gentle Skin Cleanser</a> works perfectly as it cleanses without stripping away the skin’s moisture barrier. Its creamy texture soothes dry, flaky skin, making it soft and supple after every wash. It’s non-foaming and can even be used without water, offering a gentle solution for dehydrated skin.</p><h4><br></h4><h4>Combination Skin</h4><p><a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/skin-type/combination-skin\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"category\" data-link-label=\"Combination Skin\" data-category-id=\"combination-skin\" data-category-catalog-id=\"storefront-galderma-in\">Combination skin</a> can be tricky, but Cetaphil offers options like their <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/products/cleansers/oily-skin-cleanser/8906005274090.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"8906005274090\" data-product-id=\"8906005274090\">Oily Skin Cleanser</a>, which works well for both oily and dry areas. This cleanser helps balance oil production without drying out the drier parts of your face. It effectively cleanses the oily T-zone while keeping the cheeks and other areas soft and hydrated. It’s ideal for twice-daily use.</p><p><br></p><h4>Sensitive Skin</h4><p>Sensitive skin needs extra care, and <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/products/cleansers/gentle-skin-cleanser/8906005274105.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"8906005274105\" data-product-id=\"8906005274105\">Cetaphil’s Gentle Skin Cleanser</a> is the perfect solution. Dermatologist-recommended, this cleanser is free from fragrances and harsh chemicals, making it ideal for people with sensitivity issues. It cleanses gently while maintaining the skin’s natural barrier, ensuring no irritation or redness. Use it daily to keep your skin calm and comfortable.</p><h3><br></h3><h3>Step 2: Prepping Your Skin for the Best Cleanser Application</h3><p>Before applying the cleanser, start by washing your hands thoroughly to remove dirt and bacteria. Wet your face with lukewarm water to open up your pores, allowing the cleanser to penetrate deeply. This step ensures that the cleanser can work more effectively to remove dirt, oil, and impurities from your skin without causing dryness or irritation.</p><p><br></p><h3>Step 3: Apply Cetaphil Cleanser for Optimal Results</h3><p>Add a small amount of Cetaphil cleanser (about the size of a coin) to your damp face. Use gentle, circular motions to spread the product evenly. Be sure to cover all areas of your face, including the forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin. <strong>Properly applying cleanser</strong> ensures it reaches all corners, removing dirt and oil without overdrying your skin.</p><h3><br></h3><h3>Step 4: Rinsing Off the Cleanser Thoroughly and Effectively</h3><p>Once you've massaged the Cetaphil cleanser onto your face, it's time to rinse it off. Use lukewarm water to thoroughly remove all traces of the cleanser. Make sure there’s no product left behind, especially around the hairline and jawline. Proper rinsing prevents buildup, which can clog pores and lead to breakouts, ensuring a fresh and clean finish.</p><p><br></p><h3>Step 5: Massaging the Cleanser Into Your Skin</h3><p>For the best way to use a cleanser, gently massage it onto your skin using your fingertips in circular motions. Start from the center of your face and work outward. This boosts circulation and helps the product penetrate more effectively. Avoid scrubbing harshly, especially if you have sensitive skin, as this can cause irritation and redness.</p><p><br></p><h3>Step 6: Patting Your Skin Dry</h3><p>After rinsing, use a soft, clean towel to pat your skin dry—don't rub, as it can irritate your skin. Gently press the towel on your face, allowing it to absorb the water without disrupting your skin's natural moisture balance. This step is especially important for sensitive and dry skin types to avoid unnecessary friction or damage.</p><p><br></p><p>Frequency of Cleansing (Morning vs Evening)</p><p>Cleansing your face twice a day—morning and evening—is generally the best routine for healthy skin. In the morning, cleansing helps remove excess oil produced while you sleep and preps your skin for the day. It's important to start your day with a fresh, clean face, especially if you use skincare products or sunscreen.</p><p><br></p><p>Cleansing in the evening is crucial to remove dirt, pollution, makeup, and oil buildup from the day.

Make sure to use a separate makeup remover before using your cleanser.</li><li><strong>Skipping the moisturizing step</strong>: Always follow up with a moisturizer after cleansing, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin.</li><li><strong>Not choosing the right product for your skin type</strong>: Using a cleanser not suited for your skin type can lead to more problems.

For those with sensitive or dry skin, cleansing once at night might be enough to avoid overdrying. Always use a <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/products/cleansers/gentle-skin-cleanser/8906005274105.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"8906005274105\" data-product-id=\"8906005274105\">gentle cleanser</a> like Cetaphil to prevent irritation.</p><p><br></p><h3>What’s the difference between gel and cream cleansers?</h3><p>Gel cleansers are lightweight and ideal for oily or acne-prone skin, as they remove excess oil and deep-clean the pores. Cream cleansers, on the other hand, are rich and moisturizing, making them perfect for dry and sensitive skin. They cleanse while hydrating, preventing the skin from feeling tight or dry after washing.</p><h3><br></h3><h3>Is it okay to use hot water when cleansing?</h3><p>No, it's not recommended to use hot water for cleansing. Hot water can strip away the skin’s natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation. Lukewarm water is the best option as it helps to open up pores for effective cleaning without causing damage or dehydration to your skin.</p><p><br></p><h3>Can I use a cleanser if I have sensitive skin?</h3><p>If you have sensitive skin, it's essential to use a gentle, dermatologist-recommended product like Cetaphil. These cleansers are specifically formulated to cleanse without causing irritation, dryness, or redness. Always look for cleaners free from harsh chemicals, fragrances, and parabens, which can aggravate sensitive skin.</p><h3><br></h3><h3>Can I use a cleanser if I have an oily skin type?</h3><p>Yes, using a cleanser is crucial for oily skin.

This response leads to the classic symptoms of sunburn, such as pain and redness, which is often accompanied by warmth and tenderness, and in severe cases swelling and blistering.4 Blisters can be very painful.</p><p>The severity of a sunburn depends on the intensity and duration of UV exposure and the level of sun protection you use, however, skin tone can also be a factor.&nbsp;Fair or light-skinned people can burn more easily due to less melanin in their skin, which is a protective pigment.(4)</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><h3>Why can sunburn appear purple?</h3><p>Over time, UV damage to the skin can lead to a condition known as solar purpura or actinic purpura. Solar purpura is more commonly observed in older people, as it is a long-term consequence of chronic UV damage. Approximately 12 percent of people above the age of 50 are affected.(5)&nbsp;</p><p>This condition is characterized by the appearance of small, flat, purple or red spots on the skin. They predominantly appear on areas of the body that receive significant sun exposure, such as the back of the hands, forearms, neck, and face. The blood vessels under the skin's surface weaken, which makes them more prone to rupture and leakage. As a result, small amounts of blood seep into the surrounding tissue, leading to the typical purple spots seen in solar purpura.(5)</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><h3>What are other effects of sunburn?</h3><p>Sunburn not only causes immediate discomfort, but also poses long-term risks to our health. Prolonged or intense exposure to UV radiation damages the DNA within our skin cells, increasing the likelihood of developing cancerous cells. Melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer, is particularly associated with sunburn and unprotected sun exposure. If you experience five or more sunburns, or only one single blistering sunburn, it approximately doubles your risk of developing melanoma later in life.6&nbsp;</p><p>Sunburn also accelerates the aging process of the skin, as the harmful UV rays break down the collagen and elastin fibers that give our skin its elasticity and firmness. As a result, sunburns can lead to development of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots.(1,6)</p><p>Since sunburn damages the outermost layer of the skin, it can also lead to peeling, dryness, and flakiness and in some cases, the skin may develop discoloration or uneven pigmentation.</p><p>If you have severe sunburn, and you feel cold, tired or nauseous, you may have heatstroke, so it’s important to seek medical attention.(7)</p>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#5E656B" } }, { "id" : "1b2dfc0dca749aabec47d1a7a9", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "32" } }, { "id" : "2830de1cb8ead3dea5ea139c1c", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "hideInDesktop" : false, "textAlignMobile" : "center", "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<h3>How to prevent sunburn?</h3>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#004987" } }, { "id" : "4cddb0684d556e13f9623da525", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { } }, { "id" : "dd6e6d580864aa6e6006b6163f", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "hideInDesktop" : false, "textAlignMobile" : "center", "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<p>You can effectively reduce the risk of sunburn by taking preventive measures, such as staying out of the sun during peak hours, seeking shade, and wearing protective clothing.

Check the ingredient list to ensure the product is gentle and non-comedogenic.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>SPF Protection:</strong> A moisturizer with SPF can offer added sun protection, but if you frequently go outdoors, it's recommended that you layer with a dedicated <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/moisturizers/cetaphil-spf-50%2B-sunscreen/3499320013192.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"3499320013192\" data-product-id=\"3499320013192\">sunscreen</a>.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Seasonal Changes:</strong> To meet your skin's changing needs, you may need a lighter formula in summer and a richer one in winter.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Bonus Tip:</strong> Use the <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/skin-analysis.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"external\" data-link-label=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/skin-analysis.html\">Cetaphil AI Skin Analysis Tool</a> for personalized product recommendations based on your skin type.

Look for ingredients that deeply nourish and lock in moisture:&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Shea butter: Provides intense hydration and prevents moisture loss&nbsp;</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Squalane: Mimics natural skin oils to keep skin soft and smooth&nbsp;</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Hyaluronic acid: Draws moisture into the skin for long-lasting hydration&nbsp;</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Oat extract or aloe vera: Helps soothe irritation and redness&nbsp;</strong></p><p><br></p><p>For example, the Cetaphil <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/moisturizers/cetaphil-moisturising-lotion/8906005271624.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"external\" data-link-label=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/moisturizers/cetaphil-moisturising-lotion/8906005271624.html\">Moisturising Lotion</a> is perfect for dry to sensitive skin. It is formulated with niacinamide (vitamin B3), panthenol (pro-vitamin B5), and hydrating glycerin, and it completely restores the skin's natural moisture barrier in one week.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><h3>How to Choose a Moisturizer for Combination Skin&nbsp;</h3><p><br></p><p>Combination skin needs a balanced formula that hydrates without making oily areas greasy. Look for:&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Lightweight, water-based formulas: Avoids heaviness while keeping skin hydrated&nbsp;</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Gel or oil-free moisturizers: Helps maintain moisture without clogging pores&nbsp;</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Niacinamide: Controls oil production and soothes dry patches&nbsp;</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Hyaluronic acid &amp; glycerin: Provide hydration without excess oil&nbsp;</strong></p><p><br></p><p>For example, the Cetaphil Optimal Hydration Body Spray Moisturizer provides immediate and intense 48-hour hydration without a greasy feel.

Applying it correctly can enhance absorption and improve your skin's overall appearance. Here are some simple steps to get the most out of your moisturizer:&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Start with Clean Skin:</strong> Wash your face with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel, leaving it slightly damp to help lock in moisture.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Use the Right Amount: </strong>A pea-sized amount is enough for your face, while a dime-sized amount works for your neck. Too much can feel greasy and clog pores, while too little may not provide enough hydration.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Apply on Damp Skin:</strong> Moisturizer absorbs better when your skin is slightly damp, helping to seal in hydration. Apply it within 30 seconds of washing your face.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Warm It Up:</strong> Rub the moisturizer between your fingertips before applying. This helps it spread evenly and absorb more effectively.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Gently Massage It In:</strong> Apply the moisturiser upward in circular motions. Avoid rubbing too hard, especially around the delicate eye area, to prevent irritation.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Layer It Correctly:</strong> If you use serums or treatments, apply them before your moisturizer. If using sunscreen, apply it after your moisturizer in the morning.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Don’t Forget Your Neck and Chest:</strong> These areas are prone to dryness and aging, so extend your moisturizer beyond your face for full hydration.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Adjust for Day and Night:</strong> Use a lightweight moisturizer with SPF during the day and a richer, hydrating formula at night for deeper nourishment.</p>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#5E656B" } }, { "id" : "bbd24d612ef089ee74638676f0", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "24" } }, { "id" : "ccde4044627af59a9291ee9ca5", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "32" } }, { "id" : "49066321120901deec17ec8c30", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "hideInDesktop" : false, "textAlignMobile" : "center", "isRebranding" : false, "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<h2>Conclusion</h2>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#073275" } }, { "id" : "640c0a669f8efd7047859c1769", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "15" } }, { "id" : "c0c66c6d612f6b38ab2b7939f3", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "hideInDesktop" : false, "textAlignMobile" : "center", "isRebranding" : false, "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<p>Choosing the right moisturizer doesn’t have to be complicated.

According the International Forum for the Study of Itch (IFSI) the definition of sensitive skin is “a syndrome defined by the occurrence of unpleasant sensations (stinging, burning, pain, pruritus and tingling sensations) in response to stimuli that normally should not provoke such sensations. These unpleasant sensations cannot be explained by lesions attributable to any skin disease. The skin can appear normal or be accompanied by erythema.”(1)&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Usually, people with sensitive skin react badly to the chemicals, fragrances and dyes often found in many skincare products (or other products that come into contact with their skin, such as detergents). Redness, dryness and a weakened skin barrier as a result of these reactions typically indicate signs of skin sensitivity. Clothing itself can also be a cause; friction or certain fabrics can create irritation. Likewise, a person’s allergies to other substances, such as laundry detergents, could also be a cause of sensitive skin.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>However, an alternative reason for sensitive skin could be due to the person’s health — Sensitive skin could be a symptom of an underlying medical or health condition.&nbsp;</p>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#5E656B" } }, { "id" : "812bfb852d7c1b0a5bbbbe8dc8", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "40" } }, { "id" : "af3f35a1930f2763ec479f1c98", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "textAlignMobile" : "center", "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<h2>Five Common Signs of Skin Sensitivity</h2>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#004987" } }, { "id" : "6a92a79613022635a8bc251ce9", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { } }, { "id" : "c9e8fdfa8503e2fb173dffe9d8", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "hideInDesktop" : false, "textAlignMobile" : "center", "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<p>Below are <a data-content-page-id=\"5-tips-taking-care-sensitive-skin\" data-link-label=\"5 Tips For Taking Care Of Sensitive Skin\" data-link-type=\"page\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/skincare-tips/skincare-guides/5-tips-taking-care-sensitive-skin.html\">common signs</a> of skin sensitivity which can point you in the right direction</p>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#5E656B" } }, { "id" : "8e88c45a7842175af53faa8296", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "20" } }, { "id" : "ae5757a423c683329f66b7c13b", "type_id" : "commerce_layouts.accordion", "data" : { "bgColor" : false }, "regions" : [ { "id" : "accordionMenu", "components" : [ { "id" : "b7c5f118606e190dca03ba3b8f", "type_id" : "commerce_layouts.accordionPanel", "data" : { "showDefault" : false, "iconText" : "1", "heading" : "Dryness", "collapsibleID" : "Dryness" }, "regions" : [ { "id" : "accordionPanels", "components" : [ { "id" : "334b97225a76befaa6626090b4", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.accordionImageAndText", "data" : { "layout" : "Vertical", "image" : { "path" : "128x128-icons-12.png", "focal_point" : { "x" : 0.5, "y" : 0.5 }, "meta_data" : { "height" : 128, "width" : 128 } }, "stretchImage" : false, "textAlign" : "Left", "alt" : "dryness", "imageQualityDropdown" : "Accordion", "theme" : "Dark Text, No BG", "text" : "<p>Dry skin can feel rough, tight or itchy.

There are simply some products that won’t be right or will include ingredients that won’t be right, so use products that are particularly tailored to your skin's needs. Take a look at our list below to understand what ingredients to avoid.\n <br/>\n </li>\n <li>\n <b>Opt for a gentle skin cleanser</b><br/>\n Sensitive skin varies tremendously across skin types. It responds differently to different cleansing methods. However, most dermatologists agree that fragranced or ‘deodorant’ soaps are not always the best option for the body. Instead, soap free cleansers, mild liquid cleansers or cleansing bars are much less likely to cause irritation. This is the case for cleansing creams and disposable washcloths as well.\n <br/></li>\n <li>\n <b>Lock in moisture and restore healthy skin’s barrier</b><br/>\n Using a moisturizing product helps skin hold moisture which resists drying.\n <br/></li>\n <li>\n <b>Always patch test products before applying all over</b><br/>\n It’s always best to patch test a new product (a patch behind your ear makes for a good place) before applying all over your face. Then wait at least 24 hours to see if the product causes any irritation or if you develop a rash. If you have particularly hypersensitive skin, it’s best to then follow this with another test beside your eye. If both are clear, you’re fine to apply more widely.\n <br/></li>\n <li>\n <b>Use a gentle make-up remover</b><br/>\n Using a gentle make-up remover reduces the likelihood of skin sensitivity as they contain fewer harsh ingredients.\n <br/> </li>\n <li>\n <b>Throw away old cosmetics</b><br/>\n Expired make-up and other products can become contaminated or carry bacteria that may exacerbate or cause sensitive skin.\n <br/></li>\n <li>\n <b>Use an SPF of 30 or higher</b><br/>\n Sensitive skin is often extra-sensitive to sunlight and UV rays. By wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen all year round with an SPF 30 or higher, you are able to reduce the risk of sun to delicate tissue and skin.\n <br/> </li>\n</ul>" } }, { "id" : "bd54a7c4c896aac33847da00b1", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "40" } }, { "id" : "0322616c0e4c58fdd2677ceac7", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "textAlignMobile" : "center", "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<h3>Don'ts</h3>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#5E656B" } }, { "id" : "8201aa9938f0a620c5572a8dca", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { } }, { "id" : "f8d806172f7045d80ab9878427", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.htmlArea", "data" : { "htmlmarkup" : "<ul>\n <li>\n <b>Use very hot or cold water</b><br>\n Using very hot water to wash your skin can cause heightened irritation, sensitivity and strip skin of its natural oils causing dryness.

The most common<strong> causes of hyperpigmentation</strong> include:</p><p><br></p><h3>Sun Exposure</h3><p>Prolonged sun exposure is the most prevalent<strong> cause of dark spots on the face</strong> and skin. Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun promote melanin production, which leads to dark spots or patches known as sun spots or age spots. This condition, known as solar lentigines or age spots, is particularly prevalent in sun-exposed areas like the face, hands, and shoulders. Without proper sun protection, these spots can worsen over time.</p><p><br></p><h3>Skin Inflammation</h3><p>Conditions like acne, eczema, or psoriasis can result in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and <strong>cause dark spots on the face</strong>. After the skin heals from inflammation, it may produce excess melanin, leaving behind dark marks. These spots can take months to fade, especially without treatment.</p><p><br></p><h3>Melasma</h3><p>Another common<strong> reason for pigmentation</strong> is melasma, a form of hyperpigmentation that develops mainly due to hormonal changes. It often appears in pregnant women or those using birth control pills or undergoing hormone replacement therapy. Melasma is usually triggered by UV exposure and tends to appear as larger patches.</p><p><br></p><h3>Reactions to Drug Use</h3><p>Medications, including specific antibiotics and chemotherapy drugs, can<strong> cause hyperpigmentation</strong> as a side effect. The pigmentation often affects areas exposed to the sun, and the dark spots may remain long after the medication has been discontinued.</p><p><br></p><h3>Medical Conditions</h3><p>In rare cases, certain diseases like Addison’s disease or hemochromatosis can cause hyperpigmentation. These conditions affect the adrenal glands or iron levels in the body, leading to the development of dark spots on the skin.</p>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#5E656B" } }, { "id" : "9279b480045d3ae3270bd5578d", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "32" } }, { "id" : "8b9b136bd403c35c9463351abe", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "32" } }, { "id" : "6b912e561b0564b5d1184fc513", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "hideInDesktop" : false, "textAlignMobile" : "center", "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<h2>How to Get Rid of Hyperpigmentation?</h2>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#073275" } }, { "id" : "90f7dd5ac0bbbec6bb29e209eb", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "15" } }, { "id" : "f237aaff9ec1366f47e5c103bb", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "hideInDesktop" : false, "textAlignMobile" : "center", "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<p>Once you understand the <strong>reason for pigmentation</strong> on the face, the next step is knowing how to treat it. There are several effective methods available to manage hyperpigmentation. Here’s <strong>how to reduce hyperpigmentation</strong>:</p><p><br></p><h3>Cosmetic Procedures</h3><p>Dermatologists offer targeted treatments, such as microdermabrasion, to address hyperpigmentation. Microdermabrasion uses tiny abrasive particles to exfoliate the skin, stimulating cell renewal and enhancing skin texture.&nbsp;</p><p>Although effective, these treatments can be costly and may require multiple sessions. It'sessentialt to consult a dermatologist to decide on the most appropriate treatment depending on your skin type, severity of hyperpigmentation, and personal preferences.</p><p><br></p><h3>Chemical Peels</h3><p>A chemical peel involves applying a solution on the skin that causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off, revealing new, unblemished skin. This treatment is beneficial for treating <strong>pigmentation on the face</strong> exacerbated by sun damage or acne.</p><p><br></p><h3>Laser Therapy</h3><p>Laser therapy targets the dark pigment in hyperpigmentation and breaks it down so the body can naturally remove it. Though effective, it may take multiple sessions to see significant improvement.</p><p><br></p><h3>Skincare Products</h3><p>Over-the-counter skincare products can also help <strong>reduce hyperpigmentation</strong> naturally. Opt for products with skin-friendly ingredients like Vitamin C, retinol, and <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/our_ingredients/niacinamide.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"page\" data-link-label=\"Niacinamide\" data-content-page-id=\"niacinamide\">niacinamide</a>, known for their brightening and anti-inflammatory properties.

Using it in skincare products gives skin the ability to retain water, thereby hydrating the skin. Cetaphil’s Daily Oil-Free Hydrating Lotion and Rich Hydrating Cream contain hyaluronic acid, making them excellent choices for daily moisturizers to help defend against the effects of decreasing hyaluronic acid over time.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Glycerin </strong>- Because it is a water-soluble humectant, Glycerin provides significant moisturizing effects, meaning it can attract water to improve the skin’s moisture retention. It also makes for a great anti-aging ingredient as it promotes healthier-looking, more hydrated skin. Cetaphil has many products that contain this effective ingredient.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>To find out more about the ingredients we use in our products, including those with anti-aging benefits, take a look at our <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/our-ingredients.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"page\" data-link-label=\"Our Ingredients\" data-content-page-id=\"our-ingredients\">ingredients page</a>.</p>" }, "regions" : [ { "id" : "accordionPanels" } ] }, { "id" : "14ec627d41bb6219747cf9a8c6", "type_id" : "commerce_layouts.accordionPanel", "data" : { "showDefault" : false, "iconText" : "5", "heading" : "Do I need both serum and moisturizer?", "collapsibleID" : "paraben-free", "bodyContent" : "<p>Having both a face <a data-category-catalog-id=\"storefront-galderma-in\" data-category-id=\"facial-moisturizers-serums\" data-link-label=\"Facial Moisturisers\" data-link-type=\"category\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/moisturizers/facial-moisturizers-serums\">serum and a moisturizer</a> are vital elements in a robust <a data-content-page-id=\"skincare-routine\" data-link-label=\"Getting Started On A Skincare Routine\" data-link-type=\"page\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/skincare-tips/skin-routine/skincare-routine.html\">skin care regimen</a>.

It helps alleviate the dryness caused by the characteristic low temperature and humidity during winter.</p><p>When applied topically, the molecules of this component form a thin, moisture-retentive layer on the skin surface. Hyaluronic acid offers deep and lasting hydration, consequently hydrating and plumping the skin and preventing flakiness during winter.</p><p><br></p><h3>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;Improves Skin Elasticity</h3><p>Hyaluronic acid offers both hydration and support to the skin. As discussed above, hyaluronic acid promotes collagen and elastin production, proteins that bind skin cells tightly together. Collagen imparts strength and firmness, while elastin allows skin to stretch and return to its original shape. This makes skin supple without being saggy.</p><p><br></p><p>This combined effect can help you maintain a plump appearance with reduced visibility of fine lines and sagging. Therefore, regular <strong>use of hyaluronic acid serum</strong> has resulted in more youthful and glowy skin, even during the winter.</p><p><br></p><h3>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;Acts as a Protective Barrier Against Cold Winds</h3><p>Applying hyaluronic acid to your skin forms a thin layer throughout, locking in moisture and protecting your skin from the drying effects of winter. This barrier prevents water loss from the skin, minimizing the risk of dryness, flakiness, and irritation. This feature is especially crucial in winter conditions.</p><p>Additionally, this protective layer often blocks the penetration of environmental aggressors. This offers a defense against the harsh elements and keeps your skin comfortable and balanced despite the harsh weather.</p><p><br></p><h3>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;Reduces Redness and Irritation from Winter Weather</h3><p>Hyaluronic <strong>acid's skin benefits</strong> mostly come from its soothing and hydrating properties. Cold temperatures, dry air, and exposure to harsh elements can irritate and inflame skin.</p><p>Hyaluronic acid helps resolve these issues by deeply moisturizing the skin and strengthening the skin barrier. This calms the inflammation and reduces redness by providing much-needed moisture to the dry and irritated areas. Additionally, its water-retaining abilities support the skin's natural healing process.</p><p><br></p><h3>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;Smoothes Fine Lines and Wrinkles</h3><p>Hyaluronic acid delivers intense hydration into your skin and plumps it from within, thus smoothing the prominent fine lines and wrinkles. The water-binding property of these molecules helps to fill and expand the skin, which can temporarily reduce the depth of these primary signs of aging.</p><p>Hyaluronic acid also restores the volume and elasticity of your skin, making it appear fuller and more youthful. Regularly using hyaluronic acid serum can boost your skin's natural healing process and promote the production of collagen and elastin, which adds further firmness to your skin and smooths out fine lines.</p><p><br></p><h3>6.&nbsp;&nbsp;Soothes Dry, Cracked Skin</h3><p>As discussed earlier, hyaluronic acid is a strong humectant. It draws moisture from the surroundings and locks it deep within the dermal layers. This intense hydration helps replenish and restore the moisture levels in your skin, thus alleviating dryness and irritation.</p><p><br></p><p>When applied to dry, cracked areas, <strong>hyaluronic acid serum</strong> forms a protective layer that protects your skin from further harm from environmental factors. Therefore, it soothes, replenishes, and shields the skin, imparting health and resistance.</p><p><br></p><h3>7.&nbsp;&nbsp;Enhances the Effectiveness of Moisturizers</h3><p>Another major <strong>benefit of hyaluronic acid</strong> in the winter skincare regimen is that it can boost the hydrating ability of your <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/moisturizers\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"category\" data-link-label=\"Moisturiser\" data-category-id=\"moisturizers\" data-category-catalog-id=\"storefront-galderma-in\">moisturizer </a>and thus enhance its effectiveness. It acts as a moisture magnet and helps the moisturizer's components penetrate deeper into the skin.</p><p><br></p><p>When you pair a <strong>hyaluronic acid serum</strong> with your moisturizer, the moisturizer's hydration is absorbed and retained for longer durations. This action maximizes the moisturizing effect on your skin, making it more hydrated, nourished, and plump.</p><p><br></p><h3>8.&nbsp;&nbsp;Prevents Dullness and Keeps Skin Glowing</h3><p>Hyaluronic acid revitalizes your skin from within, thus preventing dullness. When sufficiently hydrated, your skin reflects light better, giving it a natural and radiant glow. This ingredient's humectant properties also smooth out any rough and dry patches that can contribute to the dull appearance.</p><p><br></p><p>By restoring hydration, hyaluronic acid helps boost blood circulation to the skin's surface, thus promoting a healthy, vibrant look. Additionally, it improves the skin's texture and reduces fine lines and dryness, leaving the skin looking fresher, more youthful, and naturally luminous.</p><p><br></p><h3>9.&nbsp;&nbsp;Promotes Healing of Winter-Induced Flakiness</h3><p>Hyaluronic acid aids your skin in healing from the flakiness and dryness caused by winter conditions. It does so by delivering deep hydration to the dry and damaged skin. The molecules of this component attract moisture to the affected areas to replenish the hydration levels and soothe skin irritation.</p><p><br></p><p>The enhanced moisture levels further support the skin's natural healing process, allowing for more efficient repairs. Additionally, this component strengthens the skin barrier to prevent moisture loss and protect it from external factors.</p><p><br></p><h3>10. Safe for All Skin Types in Winter</h3><p>Hyaluronic acid is a gentle, non-irritating molecule that imparts hydration without clogging your skin's pores. It can adapt to your skin's needs, whether dry, oily, combination, or sensitive. Since it is also naturally produced in the body, it is often taken well by all skin types.</p><p><br></p><p>It helps replenish lost hydration in dry or sensitive skin without causing irritation. Its lightweight texture hydrates oily or <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/skin-concern/acne-blemishes\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"category\" data-link-label=\"Acne &amp; Blemishes\" data-category-id=\"acne\" data-category-catalog-id=\"storefront-galderma-in\">acne-prone skin</a> without adding excess oil or triggering breakouts.</p>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#5E656B" } }, { "id" : "311c701583c27a5623a4d82db2", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "32" } }, { "id" : "ee9ba76ce417708db1426b45e6", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "hideInDesktop" : false, "textAlignMobile" : "center", "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<h2>Right Way To Use Hyaluronic Acid Serum</h2>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#073275" } }, { "id" : "773728e98bb9d36a1b30645530", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "15" } }, { "id" : "0d79c74b9ab7af46a9dcf3587a", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "hideInDesktop" : false, "textAlignMobile" : "center", "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<p>The sections thus far described the uses and <strong>benefits of hyaluronic acid serum</strong>. But when incorporating this component into your winter skincare regimen, you must do it right.</p><p><br></p><p>Using <strong>hyaluronic acid serum </strong>correctly can optimize its benefits, helping you get the most out of it. Here are some tips on how to use <strong>hyaluronic acid serum</strong> correctly.</p><h3><br></h3><h3>Cleanse Your Skin First</h3><p>The first step in every skincare routine is cleansing. Start with a <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/products/cleansers\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"category\" data-link-label=\"Cleansers\" data-category-id=\"cleansers\" data-category-catalog-id=\"storefront-galderma-in\">gentle cleanser</a> to remove the dirt, oil, and debris from your skin. Proper cleansing is necessary to prevent clogged pores and skin irritation. This will offer a blank canvas for the product to work its magic.</p><p><br></p><h3>Apply to Damp Skin</h3><p>When applied to damp skin, hyaluronic acid is most effective as a hydrating agent. This allows the ingredient to lock in moisture to keep your skin supple and hydrated. So, avidly dry your face completely after cleansing. Simply pat your face with a soft towel to remove excess water, and apply the serum immediately.</p><h3><br></h3><h3>Use a Few Drops of the Hyaluronic Acid Serum</h3><p>Take 2 to 3 drops of the <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/moisturiser/serums\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"category\" data-link-label=\"Serums\" data-category-id=\"serums\" data-category-catalog-id=\"storefront-galderma-in\">serum</a> onto your fingertips and gently massage it into your face. Apply the product in upward and circular motions to ensure even coverage and promote optimal absorption into the skin.</p><p><br></p><h3>Follow Up with a Moisturizer</h3><p>Lock in the hydration with a good moisturizer applied right after the serum. This ensures that the moisture the hyaluronic acid attracts remains in the skin, keeping it hydrated throughout the day.</p><p><br></p><h3>Use Twice Daily</h3><p>For optimal results, use this serum twice daily, both in the morning and at night. This will provide your skin with consistent hydration and protection against winter dryness.</p><p><br></p><h3>Pair with SPF During the Day</h3><p>Even in winter, when the sun is nowhere to be seen for days, UV rays can cause damage to your skin. So apply <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/product-range/sunscreens\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"category\" data-link-label=\"Sunscreens\" data-category-id=\"sun\" data-category-catalog-id=\"storefront-galderma-in\">sunscreen </a>after your moisturizer daily, even when you or the sun stays in.</p><p><br></p><h3>Combine with Other Hydrating Ingredients</h3><p>While hyaluronic acid is an excellent hydrating agent, you can further optimize its benefits by combining it with other ingredients like glycerin or <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/plp-ceramides.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"page\" data-link-label=\"Ceramides\" data-content-page-id=\"plp-ceramides\">ceramide</a>.

A wrong exfoliation procedure can cause irritation, dryness, and even damage.&nbsp;</p><h3><br></h3><h3>Do's of Exfoliation</h3><p>Here are the Do’s you need to follow to safely and effectively <strong>exfoliate your skin</strong>.</p><p><br></p><h4>Do check the right exfoliant for your skin</h4><p>Not all exfoliants are made equal, and picking the right one for your skin type can make a big difference in your skincare results. If you have <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/skin-type/dry-skin\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"category\" data-link-label=\"Dry Skin\" data-category-id=\"dry-skin\" data-category-catalog-id=\"storefront-galderma-in\">dry</a> or sensitive skin, use a gentle chemical exfoliant like lactic acid, which hydrates while exfoliating. For <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/skin-type/oily-skin\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"category\" data-link-label=\"Oily Skin\" data-category-id=\"oily-skin\" data-category-catalog-id=\"storefront-galderma-in\">oily</a> or <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/skin-concern/acne-blemishes\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"category\" data-link-label=\"Acne &amp; Blemishes\" data-category-id=\"acne\" data-category-catalog-id=\"storefront-galderma-in\">acne</a>-prone skin, select salicylic acid, an effective option for clearing excess oil and unclogging pores. However, for <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/normal.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"page\" data-link-label=\"normal\" data-content-page-id=\"normal\"><strong>normal skin</strong></a><strong> types</strong>, you may benefit from a physical exfoliant with fine particles that gently scrub away dead skin cells.&nbsp;</p><p>Cetaphil daily exfoliating cleanser is an excellent example of a product that offers exfoliation without being harsh on your skin, keeping it soft and radiant.</p><p><br></p><h4>Do exfoliate regularly</h4><p>Consistency is vital in the exfoliation routine, but the frequency depends on your skin type. Dry or sensitive skin may only need to be exfoliated once or twice a week to avoid irritation. On the contrary, those with oily or combination skin can exfoliate more frequently, about three to four times a week. Regular exfoliation prevents dead skin from building up and blocking pores, keeping your skin looking fresh and healthy.</p><p><br></p><h4>Do exfoliate before bed</h4><p><strong>Exfoliating your skin</strong> in the evening can be particularly beneficial. Your skin undergoes a natural repairing process while you sleep, making nighttime an ideal period to support this rejuvenation by sloughing off dead skin cells. When you exfoliate before bed, you clear away any impurities, dirt, or excess oil accumulated throughout the day, allowing your skin to better absorb your nighttime treatments, such as serums or moisturizers.</p><p>To get the most out of your nighttime exfoliation routine, follow it up with a hydrating product like <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/moisturizers/daily-advance-ultra-hydrating-lotion/8906005271708.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"8906005271708\" data-product-id=\"8906005271708\">Cetaphil Daily Advance Ultra Hydrating Lotion</a> or a nourishing serum to lock in moisture and repair your skin while you sleep.</p><p><br></p><h4>Do try SPF</h4><p>Exfoliation clears the outer layer of dead skin cells, leaving your skin more vulnerable to sun damage. This makes it even more important to apply <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/product-range/sunscreens\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"category\" data-link-label=\"Sunscreens\" data-category-id=\"sun\" data-category-catalog-id=\"storefront-galderma-in\">sunscreen</a> after exfoliating, especially if you’re heading out during the day. Sunscreen shields your skin from harmful UV rays, which can cause sunburn, pigmentation, and premature aging. A broad-spectrum sunscreen like <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/moisturizers/cetaphil-spf-30%2B-sunscreen/3499320010993.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"3499320010993\" data-product-id=\"3499320010993\">Cetaphil Sun SPF 30+</a> provides essential protection without feeling heavy or greasy on the skin.</p><p>Always make sure to apply sunscreen even on cloudy days, as UV rays can still penetrate through clouds. <strong>Exfoliating your skin</strong> without proper sun protection can undo the benefits by causing damage and irritation, so don’t skip this crucial step.</p><h4><br></h4><h4>Do listen to your skin</h4><p>Your skin will give you clear signs if something isn’t right. Redness, irritation, tightness, or discomfort after exfoliation can indicate that you’re either over-exfoliating or using a product that’s too harsh. Adjust your exfoliation routine based on how your skin feels and responds. Some days, your skin may be more sensitive, and skipping exfoliation for a day or two can help it recover.</p><p>Consult a dermatologist if you're new to exfoliating or trying a stronger product. Otherwise, the <strong>best way to exfoliate your face</strong> is to start slowly and gradually increase the frequency as your skin builds tolerance.</p><p><br></p><h4>Do keep up the rest of your routine</h4><p>Exfoliation should be part of a complete skincare routine, but it isn’t a stand-alone treatment. After exfoliating your skin, following up with hydrating and nourishing products is vital to keep it healthy and balanced.&nbsp;</p><p>A hydrating toner can help calm the skin, while a <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/moisturizers\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"category\" data-link-label=\"Moisturiser\" data-category-id=\"moisturizers\" data-category-catalog-id=\"storefront-galderma-in\">moisturizer</a> like <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/moisturizers/cetaphil-moisturising-lotion/8906005271623.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"8906005271623\" data-product-id=\"8906005271623\">Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion</a> seals hydration and protects the skin barrier. Regularly using a good moisturizer post-exfoliation prevents flakiness and helps restore the skin’s natural oils. Also, incorporating a soothing serum or a repairing treatment into your post-exfoliation routine can enhance your skin’s recovery and overall appearance.</p><h3><br></h3><h3>Dont's of Exfoliation</h3><p>Avoid these exfoliation mistakes for healthy, glowing skin:</p><p><br></p><h4>Don't use harsh scrubs or brushes</h4><p>It’s tempting to think that a rough scrub will remove more dead skin, but aggressive exfoliation can tear the skin’s surface and lead to irritation, redness, or even micro-tears. Stick to gentler scrubs that use micro-fine granules that won’t scratch your skin.</p><h4><br></h4><h4>Don’t keep going if your skin is getting irritated</h4><p>Stop immediately if you feel your skin stinging or notice redness during or after exfoliation. Your skin is trying to tell you that it's had enough. Continuing the exfoliation routine could cause long-term damage, such as scarring or increased sensitivity.</p><h4><br></h4><h4>Don’t exfoliate after a laser treatment or peel</h4><p>Laser treatments and chemical peels already strip away layers of the skin. <strong>Exfoliating your face</strong> or body immediately afterwards can lead to over-exfoliation and even burn the skin. Give your skin ample time to heal before resuming your exfoliation routine.</p><p><br></p><h4>Don't overdo it</h4><p>More is not always better when it comes to exfoliation. Over-exfoliating can strip off the natural oils from your skin and cause dryness, irritation, and a weakened skin barrier. Stick to a routine based on your skin type, and never exfoliate more than your skin can handle.</p><p><br></p><h4>Don't combine multiple exfoliating products</h4><p>If you are using multiple exfoliating products at the same time, it can lead to over-exfoliation. Whether you’re using physical or chemical exfoliants, choose one and stick to it. Mixing products can often result in irritation or excessive dryness.</p><p><br></p><h4>Don’t wash your face after exfoliating</h4><p>It’s a common mistake to immediately wash your face after exfoliating. After exfoliation, your skin is more receptive to treatments and moisturizers, and washing it right away will negate the benefits. Instead, apply your hydrating products directly after exfoliation.</p>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#5E656B" } }, { "id" : "2d637fc335bb797c67f8079fc6", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "45" } }, { "id" : "0188e2acc199c15e01a90c8d52", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.htmlArea", "data" : { "htmlmarkup" : "<h2 style=\"color: #073275;\">Conclusion</h2>" } }, { "id" : "936c59f15d03c0ae6d2258c921", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "hideInDesktop" : false, "textAlignMobile" : "center", "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<p><strong>Exfoliating your skin</strong> is a vital step in your skincare routine, but it must be done carefully.

Understanding these triggers can help you take proper precautions and keep your skin in good condition:</p><p><br></p><h3>Harsh skincare products</h3><ul><li><strong>Alcohol</strong>: Many skincare products, especially toners, contain alcohol, which can overdry or irritate your skin by stripping away the natural oils.</li><li><strong>Strong Fragrances</strong>: Fragrances can irritate sensitive skin and contribute to barrier damage.</li><li><strong>Sulfates</strong>: Harsh surfactants are often found in cleansers and can disrupt the skin's natural balance.</li></ul><h3>Over-exfoliation</h3><p>Excessive exfoliation can remove too many dead skin cells, leaving your skin vulnerable to damage and irritation. When you exfoliate too often or use harsh exfoliants, you can strip away the skin's natural protective barrier, increasing your susceptibility to dryness, redness, and sensitivity.</p><p><br></p><h3>UV exposure</h3><p>Sun damage from UV rays is a major cause of skin barrier damage, leading to dryness, wrinkles, and premature aging. UV rays can break down the collagen and elastin in the skin, weakening the skin barrier and making it more susceptible to damage. They can also inflame the skin and cause oxidative stress, further damaging the skin barrier.</p><p><br></p><h3>Pollution</h3><p>Environmental pollutants like dust, smoke, and chemicals can irritate your skin and contribute to barrier damage. Pollutants can infiltrate the skin and cause inflammation, oxidative stress, and premature aging. They can also disrupt the skin's natural repairing functions, eventually leading to dryness, irritation, and other skin problems.</p><p><br></p><h3>Stress and lack of sleep</h3><p>Emotional stress and inadequate sleep can disrupt your skin's natural repair process and weaken the barrier. Stress can cause hormonal imbalances, leading to inflammation, increased oil production, and other skin problems. Lack of sleep can also disrupt the skin's repair process, making it more susceptible to damage.</p>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#5E656B" } }, { "id" : "aa2936f35f3fa8ab87a39a1df6", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "30" } }, { "id" : "05371c56b044f4d76c0392b887", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { } }, { "id" : "8d3c85f26c8cd484ac108d4ff0", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "hideInDesktop" : false, "textAlignMobile" : "center", "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<h2>How to Repair and Restore Skin Barrier?</h2>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#073275" } }, { "id" : "e14133a1517c77a0451f41d997", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "hideInDesktop" : false, "textAlignMobile" : "center", "isRebranding" : false, "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<p>Repairing your skin barrier requires a thoughtful approach that includes tweaking your skincare routine, using <strong>products to repair your skin barrier</strong>, and making lifestyle changes. Here’s how you can effectively <strong>repair the skin barrier</strong>:</p><p><br></p><h3>Check Your Skin Routine</h3><p>A personalized daily skincare routine is vital for maintaining the health of your skin barrier. If you’re using harsh products, consider replacing them with gentle, dermatologist-recommended alternatives, especially if you have sensitive skin. Opt for mild cleansers like <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/products/cleansers/gentle-skin-cleanser/8906005274105.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"8906005274105\" data-product-id=\"8906005274105\">Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser</a> to remove impurities from your skin without stripping its natural oils. Cetaphil is known for its gentle formula, which is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.</p><p><br></p><h3>Add Barrier-Repairing Ingredients to Your Routine</h3><p>Certain ingredients are known to help strengthen and <strong>repair the skin barrier</strong>. Products containing <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/our_ingredients/ceramides.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"page\" data-link-label=\"Ceramides\" data-content-page-id=\"ceramides\">ceramides</a>, <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/our_ingredients/hyaluronic-acid.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"page\" data-link-label=\"Hyaluronic\" data-content-page-id=\"hyaluronic-acid\">hyaluronic acid</a>, <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/our_ingredients/niacinamide.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"page\" data-link-label=\"Niacinamide\" data-content-page-id=\"niacinamide\">niacinamide</a>, and glycerin are excellent for restoring barrier function. For example, <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/moisturizers/cetaphil-bright-healthy-radiance-brightening-night-comfort-cream/3499320011518.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"3499320011518\" data-product-id=\"3499320011518\">Cetaphil's Brightening Night Comfort Cream</a> contains niacinamide, a key ingredient that not only hydrates the skin but also reduces sensitivity. Niacinamide helps to regulate oil production, improve uneven skin tone, and strengthen the skin barrier. It's particularly beneficial for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin.</p><p><br></p><h3>Live a Balanced Lifestyle</h3><p>Your skin directly reflects your overall health, so make sure you follow a balanced lifestyle. Drink sufficient water to flush out toxins, follow a healthy diet rich in essential vitamins and antioxidants, and manage stress to give your skin the best chance to heal and maintain its barrier function.</p><p><br></p><h3>Stay Away from Artificial Fragrances</h3><p>Fragrances in skin care can irritate sensitive skin and further damage the skin barrier. Choose fragrance-free products, like Cetaphil's Gentle Skin Cleanser, a mild, non-irritating cleanser ideal for sensitive skin. This cleanser gently removes dirt, oil, and pollutants without overdrying the skin, leaving it clean, soft, and hydrated.</p><p><br></p><h3>Look for Formulations that Include Ceramides</h3><p>Ceramides are essential in restoring the skin barrier, as they help to lock in moisture and keep harmful elements out.

Body sunscreens are usually thicker and more hydrating but may feel too heavy for the face, especially if you have oily or acne-prone skin.</span></p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(67, 67, 67);\">How often should I reapply sunscreen?</span></h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">If you are swimming, sweating, or towel-drying, you should reapply sunscreen every two hours or sooner. Even water-resistant sunscreens wear off over time, so frequent reapplication is essential for continuous UVA and UVB protection.</span></p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(67, 67, 67);\">Can I use sunscreen instead of moisturizer?</span></h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">It depends on your skin type. Some sunscreens contain hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin, which can replace a moisturizer for oily or combination skin. However, if you have dry skin, it’s best to apply a moisturizer first, followed by sunscreen, for optimal hydration and protection.</span></p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><br></p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(67, 67, 67);\">What’s the difference between mineral and chemical sunscreen?</span></h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">Mineral sunscreen contains zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to build a secure barrier that reflects UV rays. It’s ideal for sensitive skin and works immediately upon application. Chemical sunscreen absorbs UV rays and converts them into heat, which is released from the skin. These formulas are lightweight and blend easily, making them great for daily wear, but they may cause irritation for sensitive skin.</span></p>", "headerClass" : false } } ] } ] } ] } ] } ] } ] }, { "id" : "346e0d5c759c3023800dc0a910", "type_id" : "commerce_layouts.mobileGrid1r1c", "data" : { "fullHeight" : false, "bgBackgroundColor" : "", "fullWidth" : false, "heightSetByContentMobile" : false, "mobilebgBackgroundColor" : "", "backgroundImageAlignment" : "top", "heightSetByContentDesktop" : false, "xlfullWidth" : false, "mobilebgBackground" : { "path" : "/images/mobb.png", "focal_point" : { "x" : 0.5, "y" : 0.5 }, "meta_data" : { "height" : 974, "width" : 640 } }, "imageQualityDropdown" : "Standard (2100px, 1600px, 500px)", "bgBackground" : { "path" : "/images/blue-back-new.png", "focal_point" : { "x" : 0.5, "y" : 0.5 }, "meta_data" : { "height" : 1432, "width" : 2600 } } }, "regions" : [ { "id" : "column1", "components" : [ { "id" : "7d0249c00273614984efcaae09", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "41" } }, { "id" : "0824902c3072ed122d6960f3c0", "type_id" : "dynamic.productCarouselCat", "data" : { "fullWidth" : false, "mdCarouselDots" : false, "xsCarouselSlidesToDisplay" : 2, "textHeadline" : "Cetaphil Cleansers for Sensitive Skin", "bgAccent" : false, "smCarouselSlidesToDisplay" : 3, "xsCarouselArrows" : false, "disableSubTextHeadline" : true, "smCarouselArrows" : true, "mdCarouselArrows" : true, "smCarouselDots" : false, "mdCarouselSlidesToDisplay" : 4, "category" : "cleansers", "xsCarouselDots" : true } } ] } ] }, { "id" : "80ff25e55b8bf3fcfc13f98ab3", "type_id" : "commerce_layouts.mobileGrid1r1c", "data" : { "fullHeight" : false, "bgBackgroundColor" : "", "fullWidth" : false, "heightSetByContentMobile" : false, "mobilebgBackgroundColor" : "", "backgroundImageAlignment" : "top", "heightSetByContentDesktop" : false, "xlfullWidth" : false, "imageQualityDropdown" : "Standard (2100px, 1600px, 500px)" }, "regions" : [ { "id" : "column1", "components" : [ { "id" : "d3ba954f5eac95d7308a94a997", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "41" } }, { "id" : "deb03d647af5a543ab1fe1da9d", "type_id" : "commerce_layouts.separator", "data" : { "bgBackgroundColor" : "", "bgAccent" : false }, "regions" : [ { "id" : "additions", "components" : [ { "id" : "af32f7fb5ce86e13082af13aff", "type_id" : "dynamic.subCatArticleSlider", "data" : { "fullWidth" : false, "mdCarouselDots" : false, "xsCarouselSlidesToDisplay" : 2, "textHeadline" : "Related Articles", "bgAccent" : false, "smCarouselSlidesToDisplay" : 3, "subTextHeadline" : "SEE ALL ARTICLES", "xsCarouselArrows" : false, "disableSubTextHeadline" : false, "smCarouselArrows" : true, "mdCarouselArrows" : true, "smCarouselDots" : false, "mdCarouselSlidesToDisplay" : 3, "xsCarouselDots" : true } } ] } ] } ] } ] } ] } ] }

The <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/products/cleansers/gentle-skin-cleanser/8906005274105.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"8906005274105\" data-product-id=\"8906005274105\">Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser</a> is an excellent option for all skin types. It helps get rid of impurities without stripping the natural oils, making it especially good for sensitive skin.</p><ul><li>Use the cleanser twice daily—once in the morning and once at night.</li><li>Apply a small amount of the cleanser to wet skin, gently massage it, and rinse with lukewarm water.</li></ul><p><br></p><h3>Cetaphil Exfoliating</h3><p>Exfoliation helps clear dead skin cells and unclogs pores, keeping the skin smooth and preventing acne breakouts. The <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/products/cleansers/cetaphil-daily-exfoliating-cleanser/IN_9318637044030.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"IN_9318637044030\" data-product-id=\"IN_9318637044030\">Cetaphil Daily Exfoliating Cleanser</a> is a mild exfoliant that suits all skin types, including sensitive skin. It contains micro-fine granules that exfoliate without damaging the skin’s surface.</p><p>●\tExfoliate twice or thrice a week if you have oily skin, and only once a week if you have dry or sensitive skin.</p><p>●\tScrub your face gently in a circular motion and avoid any aggressive rubbing.</p><p><br></p><h3>Cetaphil Toning</h3><p>Toning helps remove any remaining dirt or oil after cleansing while balancing the skin’s pH level. The <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/moisturizers/cetaphil-bright-healthy-radiance-brightness-refresh-toner/3499320011525.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"3499320011525\" data-product-id=\"3499320011525\">Cetaphil Bright Healthy Radiance Brightness Refresh Toner</a> is alcohol-free, making it an ideal option for all skin types, particularly sensitive skin.</p><p>●\tAfter cleansing, put a small amount of toner to a cotton pad and use it across your face and neck.</p><p>●\tAvoid the eye area and let it dry naturally before moving to the next step.</p><p><br></p><h3>Cetaphil Moisturizing</h3><p>Moisturizing is a crucial step in<strong> men's skincare routines</strong>, as it helps hydrate the skin and maintain its protective barrier. <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/moisturizers/cetaphil-moisturising-lotion/8906005271623.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"8906005271623\" data-product-id=\"8906005271623\">Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion</a> is lightweight yet deeply hydrating, suitable for everyday use regardless of skin type. It delivers long-lasting moisture without leaving a greasy residue, making it perfect for dry, oily, and sensitive skin.</p><p>●\tApply the lotion to your face and neck immediately after toning while the skin is still slightly damp.</p><p>●\tUse it twice a day to keep your skin soft and hydrated.</p><p><br></p><h3>Cetaphil SPF</h3><p>While sunscreen is probably the most overlooked step in the<strong> skincare routine for men</strong>, it's critical for protecting skin from UV damage. The <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/moisturizers/cetaphil-spf-30%2B-sunscreen/3499320010993.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"3499320010993\" data-product-id=\"3499320010993\">Cetaphil Sun SPF 30+</a> is a lightweight, non-greasy sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum protection. You should use sunscreen daily, even when it’s cloudy or you’re indoors most of the time.</p><p>●\tApply sunscreen at the end as the final step of your morning skincare routine.</p><p>●\tMake sure to reapply if you are spending extended periods outdoors.</p>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#5E656B" } }, { "id" : "f6ea6260d6dd04f3730cac68fd", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "30" } }, { "id" : "4542780ed5dd774ed028e13b8d", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "32" } }, { "id" : "28c13e0c7aab1358bacf60f992", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "hideInDesktop" : false, "textAlignMobile" : "center", "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<h2>Additional Men’s Skincare Tips</h2>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#004987" } }, { "id" : "f6119231973d0179aaf57d26fa", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "hideInDesktop" : false, "textAlignMobile" : "center", "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<p>In addition to this<strong> basic skincare routine for men</strong>, incorporating a few extra tips can help you take better care of your skin and prevent common skin issues.</p><p><br></p><h3>Stay Hydrated</h3><p>Water helps flush out toxins from the body and promotes the growth of healthy skin cells. To keep your skin plump and refreshed, you should drink at least eight glasses of water every day.</p><p><br></p><h3>Use Fragrance-Free Products</h3><p>Fragrances, while often added for aesthetic appeal, can be a major irritant for many skin types, especially sensitive skin. Choosing fragrance-free products minimizes the risk of skin irritation and helps maintain a healthy skin barrier.</p><p><br></p><h3>Shave Carefully</h3><p>Shaving can be harsh on the delicate skin layers, especially when done incorrectly. To avoid razor burns, ingrown hairs, and irritation, always use a sharp razor and shaving creams or gels to reduce friction. After shaving, applying a soothing aftershave balm or Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream can help calm irritated skin and promote healing.</p><p><br></p><h3>Avoid Hot Water</h3><p>While hot water can feel soothing, it can strip off natural oils, leading to excessive dryness and irritation. Always use lukewarm water to wash your face and body to maintain your skin's moisture balance.</p><p><br></p><h3>Don’t Skip the Night Routine</h3><p>Your skin undergoes a natural repairing process while you sleep, making your nighttime skincare routine crucial. Cleansing before bed removes the day’s dirt, oil, and pollution, while moisturizing helps your skin repair itself. A gentle toner and night cream like <a href=\"https://www.cetaphil.in/moisturizers/daily-advance-ultra-hydrating-lotion/8906005271708.html\" target=\"_self\" data-link-type=\"product\" data-link-label=\"8906005271708\" data-product-id=\"8906005271708\">Cetaphil Daily Advance Ultra Hydrating Lotion</a> can further enhance your skin’s overnight recovery.</p>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#5E656B" } }, { "id" : "257659b41239682e72f0ad27ff", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "30" } }, { "id" : "4600e333477c21ab8fcc068318", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "15" } }, { "id" : "df318baa082b548f74e978d95b", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "hideInDesktop" : false, "textAlignMobile" : "center", "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<h2>Conclusion</h2>", "headerClass" : false, "fontColor" : "#073275" } }, { "id" : "aea6e495f3fd6ee73e57229351", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.spacer", "data" : { "spacerSize" : "15" } }, { "id" : "b73ab01550f4422fa3e25f912a", "type_id" : "commerce_assets.editorialRichText", "data" : { "hideInDesktop" : false, "textAlignMobile" : "center", "textAlign" : "Left", "richText" : "<p>Men’s skincare routine doesn’t have to be complicated.

Scientifically known as xerosis, the skin lacks moisture in its outer layer. This leads to roughness, itchiness, and even cracks. What is the reason for dry skin? A combination of internal and external factors, such as low humidity, can strip your skin of its natural oils, which makes it harder to retain moisture.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Sadly, these conditions are exacerbated during the winter, leading to discomfort. What causes dry skin? The next section will discuss this.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><h3>Common Causes of Dry Skin in Winter&nbsp;</h3><p><br></p><p>The drop in temperature and environmental and lifestyle factors are the main causes of dry skin in winter. These factors can be broadly classified into internal and external/environmental factors.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Internal factors include age, genetics, and overall health. Our skin produces less oil as we age, making it naturally drier. Genetic predispositions, such as eczema, can worsen dry skin. Dehydration, poor nutrition, and certain medications also make skin more prone to dryness.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Addressing these internal factors is important before discussing the external causes of dry skin. No amount of skin care products or external hacks can permanently fix the internal problem.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><h3>Environmental Factors: How Cold Weather Affects Your Skin&nbsp;</h3><p><br></p><p>Cold weather is notorious for drying out the skin. Low humidity levels outdoors, combined with indoor heating systems, sap moisture from the skin.

This means that if your surroundings have less moisture, your skin will use up the moisture. This is also one of the major causes of dry skin.

What are the most common causes of dry skin in winter?&nbsp;</h3><p><br></p><p>Low humidity, cold winds, harsh temperatures, and indoor heating can all cause dry skin in winter.

Is dry skin in winter a sign of a medical condition?&nbsp;</h3><p><br></p><p>While dry skin is very common in winter, persistent dryness, even after following all the tips above, can indicate a medical problem. It can indicate skin problems like eczema or psoriasis. If the dryness persists for a long time, consult a dermatologist.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><h3>4. Which Cetaphil products are best for combating dry skin in winter?&nbsp;</h3><p><br></p><p>Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, Moisturizing Cream, Daily Hydrating,Lotion, and Sun SPF 50+ Gel are great for restoring hydration.

How often should I moisturize my skin in winter?&nbsp;</h3><p><br></p><p>Moisturize at least twice daily, ideally after bathing and before going to bed, to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. However, for extra dry skin, moisturize as and when needed, especially on thick skin areas like the elbows and the knees.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><h3>6. Does drinking more water help with dry skin in winter?&nbsp;</h3><p><br></p><p>Don’t avoid drinking water, even if it is the winter season. No amount of topical cream can replenish internal dehydration. If you are good to go on water consumption, opt for topical hydration with moisturizers, which is crucial for fighting the causes of dry skin.
