Skincare Routine for Dry Skin

Dry skin can feel like ongoing challenge - tightness, flaking, dry, peeling spots and irritation are constant reminders that your skin craves moisture. It's important to understand that restoring dry skin goes beyond a single product - it requires a well-rounded routine designed to nourish and rebuild your skin's natural moisture barrier. Dry skin is often a sign of an underlying imbalance in the skin's natural abilities to retain moisture, meaning that a quick fix or heavy cream alone won't solve the problem. While a cream can provide temporary relief, true restoration involves step-by-step approach that addresses each layer of care for a long-term hydration and balance.

Cleansing Gently: Harsh cleansers strip the skin of its natural oils, stimulating dryness. A gentle, non-stripping cleanser is essential to maintain your skin's natural moisture.

Layering Hydration: Hydrating mists and serums with humectants like glycerin or Tremella Mushroom draw moisture into the skin, while Squalane, lightweight emollient, locks in that hydration by reinforcing the skin's natural barrier. 

Seiling in Moisture: Oils and creams with nourishing ingredients like chamomile, shea butter, and plant oils lock in hydration and strengthen the skin's barrier, preventing loss of moisture.

Myth vs Truth: Dry Skin 

Myth: Dry skin just needs more water.

Truth: Although hydration is essential to maintain healthy skin, dry skin often struggles due to compromised moisture barrier, meaning it can't retain water effectively. Thats why applying hydrating products and following a routine where each product complement to each other is crucial.

Myth: Oily products worsen dry skin.

Truth: High quality, non-comedogenic, well formulated oil products that are focused on easy penetration can be a game-changers. They lock in hydration, balance your skin, and reduce the chances of trans-epidermal water loss without clogging pores.

Myth: Dry skin only happens in winter.

Truth: While dry skin tends to worsen in colder months, environmental factors like indoor heating, air conditioning and cleansing with harsh cleansers can strip your skin year-round. It is also truth, that with age our skin can get drier due hormonal changes especially with women. A consistent skin hydrating routine is key, regardless of the season.

Holistic Approach to Dry Skin

Hydrate Internally: Staying hydrated supports your skin's ability to detoxify and is essential to maintaining healthy skin. Drinking plenty of water, herbal teas, supplementing with electrolytes drinks (pay attention to the labels and choose brands without sugar and without added sugar) you can try my favorite electrolyte brand that is clean with Zero-Sugar Link Here ** Implementing fruits and veggies that are rich in water into your daily diet is also beneficial to keep your hydration levels up.

Prioritize Healthy Fats: Include omega 3-rich foods like avocados, nuts and fish to support your skin's lipid barrier. Avoid processed foods and sugar.

Simplify your Routine: Focus on using products that are FREE of alcohol and synthetic fragrances, which can worsen dryness.
