Frequently Asked Questions About Dry Skin
What skin care products are best for dry skin?
Skincare solutions for restoring dry skin should include products to help with hydration and binding moisture into the skin. Hyaluronic acid serums, humectants, and shea butter will be your go-tos to quench and condition dry skin and help repair your skin’s moisture barrier.
Which type of serum is best for dry skin?
To take care of dry skin, start with hydrating and brightening face serums such as a hyaluronic drops, then add in serums that offer skin barrier repair such as EGF drops.
What ingredient should dry skin avoid?
If your skin is overly dry, avoid using too many active ingredients until the barrier is repaired and your skin is hydrated and supple. Try enzyme cream cleansers for dry skin and make sure you follow with other conditioning and hydrating skincare solutions in your daily routine. Focus on using gentler products that provide lasting moisture.
What are common errors in dry skin care routines?
Dry skin needs extra care, but even well-meaning routines can do more harm than good. One of the most common mistakes is using harsh, stripping cleansers or over-washing, which can compromise your skin barrier and lead to even more dryness. Instead, reach for a gentle, hydrating cleanser that supports your skin’s natural oils and maintains moisture levels.
Skipping moisturizer or choosing one that’s not suited for your skin type is another misstep. We recommend a nourishing, skin-replenishing formula rich in barrier-boosting ingredients to lock in hydration and soothe dryness. And while a hot shower might feel good, it can actually dehydrate your skin, so lukewarm water is a better choice, especially for washing your face. Rethink your ritual with skin-loving, consciously clean formulas that restore moisture in your skin.
How can I optimize my dry skin care routine?
A results-driven dry skin ritual starts with replenishing, barrier-supportive formulas that hydrate, soothe, and protect. Begin with a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser that cleans without stripping your skin’s natural oils. Follow with a hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid to deeply nourish and attract moisture. Then, lock in hydration with a rich, replenishing moisturizer that’s packed with skin-strengthening ingredients. And never skip SPF: dry skin needs daily sun protection to defend against environmental stressors that can worsen dehydration and sensitivity.
