Dry skin produces less sebum than normal skin and sometimes can look tight, a bit dull, and prone to fine lines. As a result of the lack of natural oil, dry skin lacks the lipids that it needs to keep in moisture and build a buffer against external influences such as cold weather, dry air, exposure to harsh chemicals in soaps or other products due to excessive washing. The first skincare step, the cleansing with a gentle face wash containing ingredients that attract moisture, such as hyaluronic acid can prepare your skin to work with other products in your skincare regime to keep your skin looking healthy and bring back the glow. For the daytime try moisturizers packed with ceramides, one of the best moisturizer ingredients to help restore this natural component of the skin’s barrier and for the night time, use deep penetrating moisturizers (heavier, creamier) to further lock in the hydration. You could also incorporate serums and hydrating masks into your weekly skincare routine.
