Denizli Private Egekent Hospital Dermatology Specialist Dr. Osman Aydın shared important information about common skin dryness and sensitivity during the autumn months.
Stating that complaints such as tightness, flaking, and itching increase with cooler weather and lower humidity, Dr. Osman Aydın said, “Protecting the skin barrier during the autumn months is the most important step to enter winter with healthier skin. Especially in sensitive skin, long-term irritation may occur if proper care is not taken.”
Practical Moisturizing Tips
Dr. Osman Aydın’s recommendations:
Choose pH-balanced cleansers that do not dry the skin.
Increase the skin’s water retention capacity with serums containing hyaluronic acid.
Apply oil- and water-based moisturizers using the layering method.
Strengthen the skin barrier with a moisturizing mask once a week.
Get Professional Support
Highlighting the importance of receiving dermatological support in addition to daily care, Dr. Osman Aydın added:
“It is very important to drink at least 2 liters of water a day and to choose moisturizers that contain ceramides, glycerin, and fatty acid derivatives. Professional care treatments suitable for skin type also reduce the risk of dryness-related allergies and rashes. Consulting a dermatologist at the beginning of the season is the right step for healthy skin.”
