Dry Skin

Dry skin occurs when your skin loses moisture or the skin barrier is compromised. Factors include cold weather, low humidity, harsh cleansers, ageing, and certain medical conditions. Genetics and lifestyle also play a role.

Signs of dry skin include tightness, flakiness, rough texture, redness, and dullness. You may also notice fine lines appearing more prominently, as dry skin is less plump and hydrated.

The best approach combines gentle cleansing, regular hydration with moisturisers containing humectants like hyaluronic acid, and strengthening the skin barrier with ceramides. Avoid hot water and harsh products that strip moisture.

Yes. Staying hydrated, eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins A, C, and E can support skin hydration and barrier health from the inside out.

Not always. Dry skin refers to lack of moisture, while sensitive skin reacts easily to products or environmental triggers. Dry skin can be sensitive, but sensitive skin can also be oily or normal.

Look for hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramides, squalane, and niacinamide. These hydrate, repair, and protect the skin barrier, keeping skin soft, smooth, and resilient.
