As a general rule, you will always hear and read that alipic skin is a more professional way of referring to dry skin. However, there are some differences between alipic skin and dry skin.
Today, we will tell you about the specific characteristics of alipic skin, its causes, and the best natural treatment to care for alipic, dry, and dehydrated skin. Let’s get to it!
What are the characteristics of Alipic skin?
Unlike dry skin, alipic skin lacks sebum. What does this mean? While dry skin presents a lipid imbalance and has less oil than it should, alipic skin completely lacks sebum.
The main characteristics of alipic skin are:
- low elasticity,
- matte appearance,
- imperceptible pores,
- fine scaling,
- greater tendency toward wrinkles,
- dull, rough, lackluster skin…
What are the causes of Alipic skin?
The main causes of Alipic skin are:
- Natural predisposition: if a person has sensitive skin without any underlying condition, their skin can become irritated more easily when exposed to sun, strong winds, very cold temperatures, the use of cosmetics with chemical ingredients, makeup with toxins, or certain types of clothing…
- Aggressive chemical treatment, such as Accutane, for example…
- An irritant or allergic dermatitis reaction: for people with sensitive skin, contact with certain types of soaps, detergents, or exposure to certain types of water can trigger redness, swelling, and itching on the skin…
- Having dry skin: if people with dry skin are exposed to external elements that dry their skin out even further and cause it to lose its protective moisture and oils, they can also end up suffering from alipic skin…
- Eczema, rosacea, or photodermatosis…
