Will Your Dry Skin Cause Wrinkles?

Will Your Dry Skin Cause Wrinkles?
Many people are under the misconception that their dry skin
is the cause of their wrinkles. However, this is not
necessarily the case. While dry skin is not a direct cause
of wrinkles, it can make the skin appear to be aged. This
is simply because of the complexion of the skin when it is
dry.

Having dry skin certainly won't help to keep a youthful
appearance, and the fact that the skin is overly dry is
almost certainly because it is lacking something. This
could be either in the fact that it needs extra hydration,
or because of a lack of sufficient exfoliation.

The surest way to give the skin the appearance of not being
quite so dry, and along with that also cause it to look
younger, is to ensure that the skin is well moisturized at
all times. It is also vitally important to ensure that it
is well hydrated, and that must come from within.

The best way to do make sure that your skin is sufficiently
well hydrated is to drink sufficient water throughout the
course of the day. This will ensure that your whole body is
well hydrated and your skin will naturally become a
reflection of that healthy state.

It is advisable to drink water throughout the day in
smaller amounts, and often, rather than trying to satisfy
your daily recommended amount by drinking large amounts at
one time. As in many other things, little and often is the
route to take. By getting sufficient water your skin will
appear to be translucent and clear.

There is another reason why your skin might give the
appearance of being dry even though you might be getting
sufficient water for your body to remain hydrated. This is
caused by the inevitable build up of dead skin cells on the
surface of the skin. These dead skin cells can make the
skin look dry when, in actual fact, it is not dry at all.

By exfoliating your skin on a regular basis, thereby
removing these dead skin cells, you will get an improved
view of the real condition of your skin and this will also
allow you to moisturize the skin better.

So, does dry skin cause wrinkles? We have now seen that a
combination of sufficient water intake, good exfoliation of
the skin and a good moisturizer can do wonders for your
skin condition and help prevent those dreaded wrinkles from
appearing.
