Is it okay to leave your face alone for a few days when its dry from the weather and irritated?

Question

Can i just apply oil everyday until the burning and tightness goes away and then start washing my face again?

Thank you and I I believe it's from the dry weather. I also keep touching my face and rubbing it too much. That maybe the problem

I belive it's irritated because of the dry air. I also keep touching it so my skin is being sensitive . Its winter time where I'm at. And its causing me to be depressed

Burning and tightness? Tightness will be from dehydration- drink plenty and use a gentle cleanser, toner and moisturiser specifically for dry, sensitive or dehydrated skin. As for the burning are you using anything new that may be causing some irritation? Do you typically have sensitivities or allergies?

I’m not sure which country you’re from but the rehydrating Elemis range is good to help with itchiness. It has natural ingredients which is what you want because many cheaper brands contain more alcohol which you should try to avoid if possible as this tightens and dehydrates skin more (it’s typically added to dilute the thickness).

If you have allergies the soothing range is most suitable. Add a spritz of hydrating mist to apply before moisturising too of the itchiness persists. Cleanse tone and moisturise twice daily - morning and evening.

This should help to prevent against moisture loss too.

It can be due to all sorts of things. Stress, diet and not enough sleep even deprive your skin. Touching your face isn’t that bad for dry skin types as it actually encourages sebum production and stimulates circulation which is good. The best thing you can do really is look after your health, drink plenty of water and be sure to use daily creams to target dehydration, a water based spray and moisturiser should mostly help to hydrate and lock in moisture and prevent water loss. If you do this twice daily with good products you should start to notice improvements fairly quickly within a day or two.

The cleanser and toner will wash your face (use a cream based cleanser for dehydrated skin) as this is important to reduce blemishes developing and promote a healthy and radiant complexion). But products tailored to dehydrated skin will also target moisture loss at the same time).

You’re welcome. Yes I have, that’s also supposed to be very good. I’ve not used that yet though so couldn’t give a personal recommendation just yet but I hear dermatologists rate it quite highly. I’m not sure if that’s for dehydration specifically though, I’d have to look into it.

French skincare brands do tend to have good reputations though. The best I’ve used personally has been Elemis, I’ve personally seen quick results with them and I have dehydrated skin at times too. The only downside is that it can be quite expensive.

See!! Lol, I'm on a budget. I'll try CeraVe to see how that works.

Yeah I understand,! m it’s treatable though. The best thing to add to dehydrated skin are water based products because it’s water that the skin is lacking, so it will be absorbed back into the skin to help aid hydration. Moisturiser is an emollient that locks moisture in and prevents water loss.

Just in case you’re wondering, I’m not making this up or going along with anything I’ve found on the internet. I am trained in beauty therapy too. 🙂

Yeah Cera Ve sounds like it would be a good idea.

If you don’t have any sensitivities the burning may also be from dehydration too. Definitely be sure to drink more and use a cream water-based cleanser, toner & moisturiser. Try to avoid anything with alcohol listed in the ingredients, or if you can’t it should be towards the bottom of the list, as the nearer the start it is the higher the concentration. I promise you’ll start to see improvements.
