Dry skin is a skin type, meaning it is part of your genetic makeup. It lacks essential lipids that keep the skin barrier strong, leading to flakiness, irritation, and a rough texture. Cold air and indoor heating can worsen dryness, making rich, nourishing care essential. To combat dry skin, focus on lipid-rich ingredients like botanical oils and ceramides.
How To Manage It
1. Gentle Cleansing
Keep it simple and gentle and avoid harsh foaming cleansers that strip natural oils. Use warm water and a soft muslin cloth or try a gentle oil cleanse – jojoba oil is very rich in ceramides which is great for dry skin.
2. Layer Hydration
Apply a serum first that boosts hydration, then seal it in with a rich cream or oil.
Try our two-step Hydrate + Nourish Duo. The Hyaluronic Face Serum penetrates deeply and binds water within the skin which helps to layer your hydration. The Nourishing Face Oil is thick without being greasy or comedogenic and helps to lock in the hydration while further nourishing the skin with antioxidants.
3. Protect the Skin Barrier
Use balms, creams and oils infused with fatty acids to shield against the elements. The Nourishing Face Oil is clinically proven to nourish and protect the skin barrier which is laregly thanks to its essential fatty acid profile that contains Omega-3, -6, -7 and the rare Omega-9.
The All-Over Balm is a good idea to keep with you on the go to re-apply a protective layer on your cheeks, around your eyes and moisturise dry lips.
Don't forget about your body – use the Hydrating Hand and Body Lotion, rich in ceramides and botanical oils to moisturise, re-balance and strengthen the skin barrier.
