Dry skin care routine

Finding the proper routine to treat dry skin conditions can make a big difference if your skin feels dull or flaky. Discover our recommended morning and evening routines for dry skin.

Several factors can cause dry skin.

A variety of external and internal factors can trigger dry skin.

Dry skin can be uncomfortable. Itching, scaling, or cracking can be symptoms.

It can also be caused by environmental variables like seasonal changes (symptoms tend to get worse in winter and summer), severe weather conditions (hot and cold air), ultraviolet sunshine, and chlorine.

Skincare may also impact skin hydration. An incorrect routine could lead to dry skin. Too much use of soaps and long hot baths can strip the skin’s natural lipids.

Face routine for dry skin

Dry skin can be treated with a morning and evening routine.

Although the cause of dry skin can vary from one person to another, everyone suffering from dry skin must follow a prescribed treatment plan. Dry skin should be treated twice daily – morning and evening.

No matter your skin type, a complete routine includes cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and wearing sunscreen. It is essential to have a consistent way for dry skin, regardless of the products you use.

This easy-to-follow routine for dry skin on your face is gentle and effective. It also protects the skin’s barrier.

Cleanse (AM and PM)

This is the first step of your routine to clean your skin. Use a cleanser that doesn’t damage the outer layer of your skin.

Tone (AM and PM)

Toners can be used with your cleanser to help remove any oil or dirt that may have been missed. This allows other products to absorb fully and balances your skin tone.

Care (AM and PM)

Moisturizing your skin with a non-comedogenic, nourishing product will help lock in moisture. When doing your dry skin routine, don’t forget about the area around your eyes. This is the most vulnerable area to developing wrinkles and fine lines.

Protect (AM).

Although many moisturizers contain SPF, it is essential to use a sunscreen that locks moisture in every morning. To protect your skin against harmful UV rays, we recommend using an SPF 30 or greater. 

To lock in moisture, start your skincare routine immediately after bathing.

How often should my face be exfoliated?

Exfoliating should be done only once or twice weekly for dry skin. Exfoliating once or twice per week may be the first thing you do if dry skin is a problem.

Before you apply a new exfoliating cream to your entire face, it is a good idea to test it out on a small portion of your skin. Ensure you moisturize after exfoliating.

Dry skin treatment ingredients

Choosing the best moisturizing ingredients is essential when searching for dry skin products.

Urea is just one of many Natural Moisturising Ingredients. These NMFs can bind water, relieve symptoms, and support exfoliation. Eucerin was the first brand to offer Urea-based treatments for dry skin.

Hyaluronic acid holds and attracts moisture. This makes skin feel plumper and more hydrated.
