To effectively treat dry skin, look for formulations that combine humectants to draw in water and emollients to seal it in.

  • Hyaluronic Acid: A powerful humectant that holds up to 1000 times its weight in water, providing intense hydration to thirsty skin.
  • Prebiotics & Antioxidants: Essential for repairing the skin barrier and maintaining a healthy microbiome.
  • Shea Butter: An incredible emollient that softens the skin and provides a protective seal against moisture loss.

How to Boost Hydration with a Weekly Ritual

To transform dry, tight skin into a soft, supple complexion, incorporate this intensive hydration ritual once or twice a week to remove barriers and improve hydration.

1. Exfoliate Dead Skin Cells:

Gently remove surface buildup with a mild exfoliant to allow subsequent products to penetrate deeply rather than sitting on top of dry flakes.

2. Apply a Hydrating Mask:

Use a rich, nourishing mask to infuse the skin with concentrated moisture and soothe tightness or irritation.

3. Lock in Moisture:

After rinsing, immediately apply a lipid-rich moisturizer to seal in hydration and repair the skin barrier.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best skincare routine for dry skin?

The best routine for dry skin involves four key steps:
1. a gentle cleanser, that doesn't strip natural oils
2. a hydrating gel with hyaluronic acid)
3. a rich moisturizer containing ceramides or lipids
4. a daily sunscreen to protect the skin barrier. Always apply products to slightly damp skin to lock in maximum hydration.

Why is my face so dry even when I moisturize?

If your skin remains dry despite moisturizing, there could be other concerns. You may have a compromised skin barrier, a buildup of dead skin cells preventing absorption, or dehydrated skin. It could also be that your moisturizer lacks sufficient occlusives (ingredients that seal moisture in).

Can dry skin cause breakouts?

Yes, dry skin can lead to breakouts. When the skin is stripped of moisture, the barrier can become compromised, which can trigger an overproduction of oil to compensate. Additionally, the accumulation of dead, dry skin cells on the surface can trap sebum and bacteria within the pores, leading to congestion and acne. To help remove this buildup, we suggest gentle exfoliation with the Illuminating Enzymatic Peel.

How do I fix a damaged skin barrier?

Fixing a damaged barrier requires simplifying your routine and temporarily reducing strong active ingredients. Focus on barrier-supporting ingredients like prebiotics, ceramides, and fatty acids. Keep the skin constantly hydrated and protected from the sun until the redness and sensitivity subside.

What is the difference between dry and dehydrated skin?

Dry skin is a skin type that lacks oil (lipids) and needs rich creams to replace those natural oils. Dehydrated skin is a condition caused by a lack of water, which can happen to any skin type (even oily skin), requiring water-based hydration like hyaluronic acid serums to fix.
