Accepted Answer

Cuderm is an alcohol and paraben free daily moisturising skincare range.

Question 4

What are the causes of dry skin?

Accepted Answer

When the skin is dehydrated, the water content of the very top layer of skin is reduced, causing the skin cells to shrink.
This creates many symptoms of dry skin, including itching, scaling, loss of elasticity and tightness. Scratching further damages the skin, leaving it vulnerable to infection.
 
Some causes of dry skin include:
Overheated rooms
Low humidity
Cold winter air
Excessive sun
Too much soap and water, which washes away natural oils
Cleansing in hot water

Question 5

Does my diet affect my skin?

Accepted Answer

Oh yes!
Diet has a real effect on how our skin 'behaves'.
Fatty foods, alcohol, lack of sleep and lack of water all effect how your skin feels.

Also, the body takes longer to digest fatty foods and this is evident in the skin. 
The skin becomes dull, pores become open, the sebaceous gland is
irritated and in general your skin is overworking to cope.
 
Applying Cuderm products regularly will help to rehydrate your skin.
