SKINCARE FOR DRY SKIN

Dry skin is a skin type characterised by a lack of moisture, resulting in dryness, flaking and tight sensations. Unlike normal or oily skin types, individuals with dry skin produce less sebum, leading to a deficiency in natural oils. To address this, skincare for dry skin focuses on providing hydration and nourishment to promote a balanced and comfortable complexion.

Various factors can contribute to dry skin, including weather conditions, ageing, environmental pollution, skin conditions like eczema, and exposure to UV rays. These elements may lead to tight-feeling, dull, or tired-looking skin. Utilising skincare products specifically formulated for dry skin can help reduce these experiences and provide the necessary nourishment for healthier-looking skin.

Typically, dry skin appears dull or tired and has a rough texture with flaking, scaling, and rough-textured areas. Dry lines and visible redness may also be present. If these symptoms resonate with you, you likely have dry skin. Develop a skincare routine tailored for dry skin, using specially formulated products to nourish and hydrate for a visibly revitalised complexion.

The best way to care for dry skin is to use skincare products specifically designed for it. These products replenish the skin's moisture balance, resulting in soft and hydrated skin. In addition to a dedicated skincare routine for dry skin, adopting healthy lifestyle habits like eating nutritious foods, getting enough sleep and protecting the skin from external aggressors such as UV rays can contribute to a hydrated and healthy-looking appearance.
