What is dry skin?
Lack of natural oils or moisture can cause dry skin on the face, which can feel tight, flaking, and unpleasant. It can occasionally result in redness or irritation as well as a dull appearance of the skin.
Using harsh skin care products and other skin conditions can cause dryness. Some people have typical, dry skin, while others experience dry skin as a side effect of specific diseases and injuries. They usually don't last very long and aren't extremely severe.
What are the causes of dry skin?
Dry skin is a common skin type characterized by a lack of adequate moisture in the outer layer of the skin. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this type, but without the proper care it can lead to premature wrinkles, sensitivity, flaking and roughness.

Now, there is a difference between someone who is born with dry skin and someone whose skin is dry at the moment. Various factors can contribute to the second example, including environmental conditions or external factors, such as sun exposure, can also lead to sunburn, sun damage, and dullness. Additionally, using harsh chemical products can cause allergic reactions, further contributing to dryness. Genetics and hormonal changes are also common factors that can make your skin prone to dryness. Understanding these causes can help you manage and alleviate dry skin more effectively.
Characteristics of unattended dry skin:
- Skin feels tight and rough after washing.
- Skin appears dull.
- Redness and itchiness.
- Uncomfortable skin.
- Sensation or stinging when applying products.
How to choose a good moisturizer for Dry Skin
Before adopting any skincare routine for your dry facial skin, consider the following tips:
- Look for Moisturizing Ingredients: When selecting a lotion for dry skin, read the ingredient list carefully. Choose products that contain hydrating elements such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin c, and centella asiatica.
- Check for Hydrating Oils: Opt for lotions enriched with shea butter, jojoba oil, and almond oil, which work to replenish skin moisture.
- Avoid Irritants: Steer clear of lotions that contain alcohol, fragrance, or dyes, as these can exacerbate dryness or cause rashes.
- Choose a thick moisturizer: Ointments and creams are thicker than lotions and are more effective for very dry skin.
- Look for "Non-Comedogenic" Labels: Ensure the lotion is non-comedogenic to avoid breakouts, especially if you have acne-prone skin.
A good way to ensure long lasting hydration is to combine a powerful serum with hyaluronic acid like Shine Bright and an intense moisturizer filled with vitamins such as C bomb.
