dry skin SOS: a step-by-step guide to rejuvenation

Hey skincare fam! Is your skin feeling a little less than radiant lately? Like it's lost its healthy glow and traded it in for a dull, flaky texture? If so, you might be dealing with dehydration – a common concern for both those with naturally dry skin and those facing the wrath of seasonal dryness.

But fear not, fellow parched peeps! We're here to spill the tea (or should we say, hyaluronic acid?) on how to craft a dry, dehydrated skincare routine that will have your skin feeling plump, healthy, and happy again.

First things first: Understanding Dehydration vs. Dryness

There's a bit of a difference between dehydrated and dry skin, even though they can sometimes feel similar. Dry skin is a specific skin type meaning it lacks oil production. Dehydrated skin, however, lacks water. Both can cause flakiness, tightness, and dullness, but we have the solutions you’re looking for!

Naturally Dry Skin SOS

If you were born with dry skin, you know the drill. Constant tightness, flakiness, and irritation are all too familiar. But don't despair! Here are some tips to keep your dry skin feeling its best:

• Cleanse Gently: Harsh cleansers can strip away precious moisture, so opt for a gentle, oil-based cleanser like our Reset Cleansing Oil. This oil cleanser melts away makeup and impurities without leaving your skin feeling tight.
• Hyaluronic Acid is Your BFF: Hyaluronic acid is a humectant, which means it attracts and holds onto moisture. Look for a lightweight Hyaluronic Acid Serum like ours to give your skin a major hydration boost. Pro Tip: Apply to damp skin!
• Layer Up with Moisture: Don't underestimate the power of a good moisturizer! For dry skin, a thicker cream is ideal. Our Milk & Honey Moisturizer is a fantastic option, packed with nourishing ingredients to keep your skin feeling soft and supple all day long.

Seasonal Dryness Blues? We Got You!

Even oily or combination skin can experience dehydration during the colder, drier months. Here's how to adjust your routine for seasonal dryness:

• Swap Out Harsh Cleansers: Ditch the foaming cleansers for a gentler option like Our Milk & Honey Cleanser. This milky cleanser removes dirt and makeup without disrupting your skin's natural moisture barrier and pairs great with our above mentioned Milk and Honey Moisturizer.
• Sheet Mask Magic: Treat yourself to a weekly sheet mask session. Sheet masks are a fantastic way to deliver a concentrated dose of hydration to your skin.
• Up the Hyaluronic Acid: Apply a few extra drops of your hyaluronic acid serum to give your skin an extra moisture boost.

Bonus Tip: Don't Forget the H2O!

Drinking plenty of water is essential for overall skin health, including hydration. Aim for eight glasses of water a day to keep your skin glowing from the inside out.
