The Benefits of Shea Butter for Dry Skin

The Benefits of Shea Butter for Dry Skin

Dry skin requires special attention throughout the year. 

Singapore's hot weather ensures that majority of our skin remains hydrated throughout the year with our humid weather. Some people, however, have dry skin - this can be due to genetics, age and the use of certain skin care products. As we age, collagen and hyaluronic acid production decreases. This leads to dry skin that requires more care and attention to prevent the first signs of ageing like the appearance of fine lines, dull skin and pigmentation.

In addition, the skin often appears drier in the cold season as it lacks water and lipids. The impact on the skin could become more significant during your 50s because the hydrolipidic film plays a less effective role as a shield against water loss.

What are the consequences of dry skin?

The appearance of fine lines, tightness, redness... This indicates that the skin is no longer performing its barrier function properly and becomes permeable to external aggressions.  

Our advice? Adopt essentials that are both moisturizing and nourishing, strengthening the hydrolipidic film with skincare rich in essential fatty acids and ceramides to reinforce and rebalance the skin.

For this, Maria Galland Paris has selected an ingredient that enriches its respectful formulas: shea butter. 

Shea Butter, Your Nourishing Ally 

All the precious benefits of shea butter are enhanced in some of our formulas to offer long-term soothing and rebalancing care for dry skin. 

Every morning, after thoroughly cleaning your skin, apply a nourishing serum followed by the rich and creamy 460 NUTRI’VITAL Cream or its light but equally nourishing version, the 5A NUTRI’VITAL Light Cream.

460 Nutri'Vital Face Cream

This nourishing and revitalising cream to be used as a day care envelops the skin in a velvety and generous texture.

460 NUTRI’VITAL Cream has been created to respond to the needs of dry to very dry skin by means of precious nutrients, together with revitalizing and protective actives, infused at the heart of its unctuous-texture formula. All these actives work in synergy to give comfort back to skin and help it to restore its lipid levels, thus re-establishing its barrier function. They also help to improve the skin’s self-protection mechanisms in the face of external stress factors, to guard against new impairment of its barrier function.

Your skin is nourished, restored, and regains its comfort. It is better protected against external stress factors like the cold weather, pollution, blue light and more. The skin barrier function is also protected.

A combination of innovative active ingredients associated with a complex of probiotics strengthens the skin barrier by acting on the regeneration and renewal of the skin, while maintaining its hydration. The association of Aloe Vera, vegetable oils and shea butter soothes and reduces redness while moisturizing and nourishing the skin.

Finally, protective active ingredients protect the skin from external aggressions and the sign of ageing and prevent irritation.

Day after day, the skin of the face is soothed, de-stressed and more comfortable. Rebalanced and protected, it becomes more resistant and less sensitive to stress and the environment.
