This is often the sign that your skin barrier is weakened: discomfort, skin feeling too small, tiring after the shower, sometimes rough areas.
Here I just explain Why it happens and above all what to do now with 7 concrete gestures.
Skin that pulls: why does it happen?
When your skin pulls, it rarely misses "just water". Most often, it lacks comfort Because certain everyday gestures weaken his protective film.
- too hot water + some cleaners remove too many protective lipids
- cold, wind, heating and friction increase loss of comfort
- wash more than necessary (face, hands, body)
- We're hydrating... but at the wrong time, or with too light care
7 immediate gestures for skin that no longer shoots
1) Lower water temperature
Luke face, especially on sensitive areas (face, arms, legs). Water too hot accentuates the pulls. It weakens the skin's hydrolipid film and makes it more sensitive to external aggressions such as cold or clothing friction.
2) Reduce the "too wash"
Some areas do not need to be soaped at each shower. And avoid "crossing" three times in the same place. Your skin wants respect, not a stripping. Sometimes just rinsing with warm water is enough.
3) Choose a softer cleaner (really)
A good washer leaves a clean skin no feeling of skin that screams. If you come out of the shower with tight skin, it's not "normal." That means your cleaner is too much. Too chemical, too aggressive, too inadequate!
4) Dry without rubbing
Tampone with a soft towel. Repeated friction is a mini "poncing" daily. While a good natural fiber sponge towel does not need to be rubbed on your skin, just apply with light pressure.
5) Hydrate at the right time: within 3 minutes
Apply your treatment to slightly moist skin, just after the shower. You "snacks" better comfort. Right after your shower, your skin is ultra receptive to the nutrients you bring it. So this is the ideal time, especially with suitable and soft products.
6) Simplification of Sensitized Areas
Less diapers, fewer possible reactions. If your skin pulls, it's often time to get back to the essentials. no need for 4 cares or 3 cleansing products, just a selected good and the job is done!
(7) Think global comfort : air + fabrics + rhythm
- aerium 10 minutes per day (heating = dry air)
- favours clothes that do not scratch, natural materials such as cotton or linen.
- Shorten the shower: happier skin. less water is also more comfortable and easier to restore the hydrolipid film.

FAQ : skin that pulls
1) Why does my skin shoot especially after the shower?
Often because hot water + too stripping cleaner remove the protective film. Water hardness can also be a factor « irritation ». So if you're in a calcareous area, it's all the more important to adapt your wash. Purpose: wash softer, feed and moisturize at the right time (just after).
2) Is it "tirille = clean"?
No. The feeling of skin that screams/shoots is not a sign of cleanliness: it is often a sign of aggression, of lack of respect for the hydrolipid film. There is an urgent need to test other products. Foam is a good indicator of the hardness of a cleaner. If there is any, it is that it is not soft for your skin.
3) I'm already hydrating, but it's still shooting: why?
Because hydration alone is not always enough. If your skin lacks protective lipids, it is especially necessary to reduce aggression (wash + hot water + friction) and moisturize at the right timing. Bring it comfort with less aggressive materials like cotton. There is the synthetic, come back to the natural, usually it helps.Thinks also to moisturize well with water (not tea or herbal tea and even less coffee, water!), it is essential to the good health of our skin.
(4) How long before you see a difference?
Sometimes from a few showers. If you change 2–3 points (luke water, soft washing, care within 3 minutes) you can quickly see the benefits. But if your skin is very fragile, it takes 1 to 2 weeks for a clean comfort. Generally the comfort gained by using cold soap is even more evident when you are forced to resume shower gel.... We tend to quickly forget discomfort.
(5) What if I have redness, itching or plates?
If it's common, intense or worsen, ask for medical advice, I'm not dermatologists and it's important to check the good health of our skin from time to time. In any case: simplifies routine, avoids stripping, betting on sweetness will necessarily bring a better.
