Maybe you’ve been there before: you wake up one morning and find your skin in an all-out revolt. It is so dried out that it hurts; it’s red and flaking; it feels rough instead of smooth.
When it comes to dry skin, we all need a little help to know better its needs and to get that ever-elusive glow. Below, we serve up our expert tips to keep your skin in tip-top shape.
How to tell if your skin is dry
Usually, you can tell that your skin is dry if it feels taut at two crucial times—after waking and cleansing.
The best way to double check this fact is to try Rouleau's tape test to confirm you have dry skin. Apply a piece of clear tape to the forehead, rub gently, and remove. If the tape is embedded with tiny pieces of flakes, your skin is dry.
How to repair dry skin
Since dry skin sometimes appears dull and flaking, it's not just about making it 'feel' moist but actually repairing the skin so it is truly moist with long-term hydration and radiant glow.
There’s one simple rule to achieve this: the greater the oil content, the better absorption through the skin barriers to hydrate the tissue.
Best ingredients for dry skin
Before you start reading the ingredients list on the packaging, make sure that you're not confusing dehydrated with dry.
Dehydration is caused when water is stripped from skin and dryness defines skin that produces little to no oil naturally.
While dehydrated skin needs products that replenish water levels, truly dry skin needs non–pore clogging ingredients like essential oils including Lemon, Carrot seeds, Cinnamon bark and green Oregano which have exceptional purity.
Be sure to read labels and avoid isopropyl myristate and isopropyl palmitate used in moisturizers to temporarily soothe skin. They can cause the cycle of dryness to worsen in the long run.
