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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
