In summer, why does my skin look flaky and feels rough to touch?

In the summer months our skin is often exposed to sun, wind and air-conditioning. A combination of these external factors can lead to dehydration - a lack of sufficient moisture in the cellular system and intercellular channels. Dehydration is the most common of all skin conditions. Over one third of women suffer from dehydrated skin.

Care for a dehydrated skin should include appropriate products that will protect the skin. For example, a function of a hydrating moisturiser is not to give the skin water, but to help the skin hold onto its natural moisture. Indeed, water itself applied on the skin dries it out. It washes away the hydration substances that the skin naturally locks in: urea, amino acids and other hydrophilic products that stop water in the dermis evaporating too quickly.

Thalgo has designed a range of Hydration products that preserves the vital water balance in all skin types. Its a great gift for all occasions.

Try: "Energising Vitality Cream" to hydrate and revitalize and "Relaxing Cream" to hydrate and replenish. Used alternately (morning and evening) these creams provide 24 hour hydration.
