Dehydration: If your skin looks patchy and fine lines have started appearing, it is definitely dehydrated and dry. The moisture level of your skin is decreasing because of reduced sebum.

Sensitivity: Redness and inflammation are usually of sensitivity that occur due to changes in the weather conditions. You can also try a soothing facial, like Lakm� Salon's Sensi-calm facial, that will restore your skin's pH levels.

Lifeless and sallow skin: Your skin might lose its lustre and look lifeless. The skin's acid mantle is affected and hence the skin's moisture and oil balance is disturbed. Massage your skin with a nourishing oil like Argan oil before sleeping. It will maintain the necessary levels of collagen in your skin.
