What Causes Dry Skin

  • Genetics: Some people are naturally predisposed to having dry skin.
  • Cold Weather: Cold, dry air in winter and indoor heating can strip skin of its natural moisture.
  • Hot Showers and Baths: High temperatures can break down the skin's lipid barrier, leading to moisture loss.
  • Harsh Cleansers and Skincare Products: Products that contain harsh chemicals or fragrances can dry out the skin.
  • Age: As you age, sebum production decreases, which may contribute to drier skin and changes in your skin type.
  • Dehydration: Not drinking enough water can affect your skin's hydration levels.
  • Medical Conditions: Eczema, psoriasis, and hypothyroidism can lead to dry skin and sensitive skin.

The Skin Barrier: Your Personal Moisture Guard

The skin barrier is essentially your skin's protective layer. It's what stands between you and the outside world, working tirelessly to keep moisture in and harmful free radicals out. Maintaining a strong skin barrier is crucial for avoiding the tight, flaky feel of dry skin and ensuring your complexion stays supple and moisturized.

Should I Double Cleanse My Skin?

Yes, you can double cleanse even if you have dry skin, but it's crucial to choose the right products. Start with a gentle, hydrating oil-based cleanser to dissolve makeup and sunscreen, followed by a mild, hydrating second cleanser to remove any remaining impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils. This method can help ensure your skin is thoroughly clean while maintaining essential moisture.

How Often Should I Exfoliate My Skin?

Start with a gentle approach, exfoliating once a week. If your skin responds well without signs of irritation, you can up the frequency to twice a week.

What is the difference between skin that’s dry and skin that’s dehydrated?

Dry skin is deficient in moisture, such as oils and fats, whereas dehydrated skin lacks water. It's crucial to address both issues at once because healthy skin naturally maintains a balance of both moisture and hydration. Typically, your skin requires not just a boost in water content but also measures to prevent that water from evaporating.

How do you improve dry skin?

To improve dry skin, apply moisturizer to damp skin right after showering or washing your face. The dampness helps lock in hydration, creating a "moisture sandwich" that keeps your skin smooth and hydrated all day.
