Products That Beat Dry Skin

Dry skin can be a huge pain. Not only does your face constantly feel tight and uncomfortable, but it makes it difficult to apply makeup evenly. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to banish dry skin once and for all. Try these techniques and products for dry skin to finally get the smooth and moisturized the skin of your dreams.

Cleanse Wisely

Foaming and gel cleansers can be a great option for those with oily or acne-prone skin. They get deep into the pores and remove all dirt, grime, and debris. However, those with dry skin are too susceptible to moisture loss for these cleansers. Instead, they should be using a gentler option, such as the G. M. Collin Lait Nettoyant Sensiderm Cleansing Milk.

Treat Effectively

After cleansing the skin, you should be applying a serum that will force moisture back into the complexion and reduce dry patches. The best product for this is a concentrated serum that's packed full of skin-friendly ingredients, such as the Dermalogica Overnight Repair Serum.

Hydrate Gently

Choosing a moisturizer for dry skin sounds like it should be simple; after all, the skin is dry, so all that's needed is just a thick cream, right? Well, not quite. Dry skin is also frequently prone to sensitivity and irritation. For this reason, it's crucial that a nighttime moisturizer isn't just hydrating, but also non-irritating. Try a luxurious product like the Avene Skin Recovery Cream, which will moisturize the skin without causing irritation or redness.

Mix Up Your Makeup

A lot of people with dry skin find that traditional liquid foundations can exacerbate their dry patches and make them look more pronounced. Consider switching to a BB cream or tinted moisturizer like the Dermalogica Cover Tint. These ultra-hydrating products won't settle into dry patches and will give you the dewy and moisturized look that you desire.

If you follow these tips, you can reduce dryness and enjoy a more moisturized complexion. When it comes to making a skincare regimen work, it's all about sticking with it. Most regimens need a few months before you can see results.
