Dry Skin Daily Routine
Dry skin is quite common and usually is not a serious condition. For most people, there are many treatments and skin care routines that help to increase hydration and improve the appearance of dry skin.
When your skin is dry, it is less able to protect itself from the environment. Though many experience dry skin year-round, most find the winter months to be more severe. By following a hydrating routine, we can help you achieve healthier skin.
A.M. Routine for Dry Skin
In the morning, your routine should focus on protecting skin from the sun and other environmental stressors. A variety of products will help you to cleanse, moisturize and protect your skin from these harmful external factors.
Cleanse
Look for a cleanser that is gentle and hydrating versus one that might irritate your skin or strip it of its moisture. Pure Skin Face Cleanser is as gentle as it is effective at removing makeup, dirt and impurities. This pH-balanced formula helps maintain skin’s natural acidity, without stripping skin.
Exfoliate
To get that deep down clean, the next step in your dry skin routine is exfoliation. Exfoliation helps to combat dullness, uneven skin tones, and uneven texture. Facial Radiance Pads are a convenient daily treatment that contain just the right amount of Lactic and Glycolic Acids to safely and effectively exfoliate, tone, and brighten all skin types, including dry and sensitive skin.
Hydrate
Next, you’ll want to add a quality serum into your routine. Serums are concentrated ingredients, so their effects are quite powerful. Ultra Repair Hydrating Serum is our universal serum that instantly boosts moisture, resulting in soft, youthful-looking skin.
Moisturize
Prep your skin for the day ahead with a head-to-toe hydrating moisturizer. Our award-winning Ultra Repair Cream is the perfect solution. This formulation is made with soothing ingredients like colloidal oatmeal to give dry, sensitive skin the hydration it needs, while strengthening the skin barrier in 7 days. The luxurious, whipped texture is instantly absorbed, with no greasy after-feel.
Sunscreen
Protecting your skin from the sun’s powerful rays is critical to caring for dry skin. Our Weightless Liquid Mineral Sunscreen is luxuriously lightweight with slight tint and is designed to be applied as the last step in your skin care routine, before applying makeup. Looking for an un-tinted option? Our Hydrating Sunscreen Milk is a breathable, liquid SPF 45 sunscreen that feels like a serum and provides all day hydration, while blending seamlessly into skin with no white cast.
P.M. Routine for Dry Skin
Your skin's natural repair process peaks during sleep, making nighttime the perfect opportunity to address dryness and dehydration.
Cleanse
No matter what your day has thrown at you, taking the time to cleanse your skin before bed is essential. Pure Skin Face Cleanser leaves skin soft and supple before a good night’s sleep. The creamy texture effectively removes makeup and impurities and never leaves skin feeling tight or dry.
Tone
For an extra dose of hydration post-cleanse, apply our alcohol-free Hydrating Toner with Squalane + Oats to hydrate and balance your skin. The formula with oat milk, colloidal oatmeal and wild oats are combined with honey and hyaluronic acid to help soothe, relieve redness and hydrate. Skin is left plump and prepped to absorb other skincare products.
Treat
Your skin's nighttime renewal process creates the ideal environment for serums, allowing their powerful active ingredients to be properly absorbed. 0.3% Retinol Complex Serum with Peptides is a great retinol for beginners and for those with dry or sensitive skin. The 0.3% concentration of pure Retinol in the formula is balanced with our proprietary Skin Saver Complex to deliver the benefits of Retinol with minimal irritation. The result? A more youthful and healthy-looking complexion.
Hydrate
Moisturizing at night gives skin time to soak in the benefits and work its hydration magic. Dry skin tends to have great results with thicker moisturizers like Ultra Repair Hydra-Firm Night Cream . This formula visibly combat the appearance of aging during skin’s nightly repair phase. When applied before bedtime, customers wake up to a moisturized complexion with a firmer, smoother appearance.
By cleansing, protecting, and hydrating your skin from day to night, you can enjoy healthier, happier skin overall. Caring for dry skin means protecting it during the day, and then using quality products that help renew and rejuvenate while you sleep.
