Dry skin can plague even the best of us, and not just during the winter. It may be your environment, certain medications, skin conditions or dehydration causing your frequent dry, itchy or flaky flare-ups. Some basic lifestyle modifications may help ease your symptoms, such as taking shorter and more lukewarm showers, drinking more water and using a humidifier. Your search for a solution may also lie in your skin care routine.
Let’s get into our top product swaps and overall skin care tips to help relieve dry skin:
Choose products suited to your skin type
A basic rule of thumb for dry skin types is to skip harsh products and go for nourishment. If a product doesn’t explicitly say it’s formulated for dry skin, look for hydrating ingredients like jojoba oil, hyaluronic acid, shea butter and ceramides. Ingredients you’ll want to steer clear of include alcohol, retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids, sulfates and fragrances as they can cause irritation to already moisture-deprived skin. If you’re in need of some guidance, our team of experts will happily work with you to design a customized regimen of clinical skin care products that fits your needs and goals.
Wash your face once daily with a gentle cleanser
While washing your face morning and night can be beneficial for those with oily or acne-prone skin, if you’re strictly dealing with dryness, once at night is all you need to clear away dirt and debris accumulated throughout the day. Opt for a gentle cleanser that improves the skin’s barrier function without stripping its natural oils. It’s also important to not over-exfoliate and instead use exfoliants once a week at most.
Apply an oil-based moisturizer to lock in moisture
Using a moisturizer right after you shower can help your skin retain moisture. Choose a heavy, oil-based moisturizing product that’s designed for the face and noncomedogenic, meaning it won’t clog your pores. A moisturizer that contains SPF is another great option to protect your skin from harmful sun exposure while helping to relieve dry skin.
Try a hydrating skin care treatment
What if we told you there was a convenient 30-minute treatment that’s gentle enough to help relieve dryness but can also address other skin concerns? A Hydrafacial® is just that: a quick, no-downtime treatment that deeply cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates the skin. Via patented vortex suction and infusion of nourishing active ingredients, Hydrafacial provides immediate benefits, including firmer skin, softened fine lines and wrinkles, minimized dark spots, reduced redness and of course, restored hydration. To prolong your glowing, hydrated skin, we recommend incorporating monthly Hydrafacials into your regular skin care regimen.
