If you have dry skin and are longing for well moisturized, soft and luminous skin... Well, you have come to the right place. Welcome to your new guide! Here you will find all our tips and knowledge to fully understand what your skin needs.
Dry skin is characterized by a lack of moisture and natural oils, which can make it feel tight, rough, flaky, and even prone to irritation.
And when the lack of moisture is so intense, it will most likely lead to dryness and rough patches that not only are uncomfortable, but can also ruin a glowing complexion. You may feel tightness around your mouth and eyes, and have dry patches that won't go away. To fix these problems, it's important to incorporate an effective daily skin care routine.

10 tips to transform your dry skin into a crystal-clear fountain of light
There are many things to consider, and the things that work for each person may vary, but speaking from our knowledge and experience, these are the 10 tips that every person with dry skin should follow:
Tip #1: Understand dry skin
First things first, it's important to know your skin type. It's like going to therapy to figure out why certain things trigger you. You need to understand the characteristics to know how to deal with it and get the results you want.
Understanding your skin type will help you predict its behavior and know what your body's largest organ wants.

Tip #2: Gentle Cleansing
Proper cleansing is an essential part of any skin care regimen, and for dry skin, you need a cleanser that cleanses and moisturizes without stripping away oils, like Face Reset Cleanser. This gel cleanser contains hyaluronic acid, coconut-derived ingredients and squalane, a smart formula that balances purification with hydration and protection.
Make sure to avoid cleansers that contain alcohol or sulfates, which can exacerbate dryness.
Tip #3 : Exfoliation
Exfoliating once in a while will help your skin to get rid of dead skin cells and look shinier. But be careful! Choose gentle chemical exfoliants that contain acids like gluconolactone, which help to exfoliate dead cells and not strip away everything else.
While it's great to do this once or twice a week, keep in mind that over-exfoliation can strip natural oils and damage your skin barrier.
Tip #4: Serums before moisturizer!
Applying a hydrating serum after cleansing is probably one of the best-kept secrets for long-lasting hydration.
Shine Bright Serum, a unique serum that not only moisturizes but also restores skin's vitality, contains Niacinamide ( to deeply hydrate) and Tranexamic Acid ( to fight discoloration and uneven skin tone).
Tip #5: Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Like we said, all you need is HYDRATION! It's essential for replenishing moisture in the skin's barrier, promoting collagen, and preventing dryness.
For dry skin, choose a moisturizer with a rich consistency, such as our C-Bomb Vitamin C Moisturizer, enriched with Vitamin C, Avocado Oil and Panthenol.
These ingredients strengthen the skin's natural barrier, resulting in improved hydration and moisture retention. What's more, its antioxidant properties help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals, minimizing their harmful effects. Last but not least, C-Bomb's anti-aging properties improve fine lines and wrinkles and promote a smoother, more youthful complexion by stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Tip #6: Humidify Your Space
Use a humidifier to combat dry indoor environments, especially in dry climates or during the winter. Increasing the amount of moisture in the air can help prevent dry skin and support your skincare regimen.
Tip #7: Sun Protection
One of the most important things you can do is protect your skin from harmful UV rays. These rays can worsen dryness and accelerate the aging process, sun exposure can strip moisture from the skin and cause irritation, itching and a higher risk of developing fine lines and wrinkles.
So how do you do it? Use sunscreen every day, a nourishing formula with at least SPF 30 or higher.
Jess Beauty Sun Drops Sunscreen Oil is an excellent choice for dry skin types because it not only protects, but also hydrates and shields the skin. Sun Drops contains hydrating ingredients like squalane, camellia sinensis and aloe extract that deeply nourish your skin and leave it feeling velvety soft.
Tip #8: Avoid Irritants
Avoid skin care products that contain alcohol, fragrance or harsh chemicals, which can irritate dry skin and make it worse. It's better to choose mild, nourishing, well-formulated products that improve skin health without causing inflammation or dryness. Try the Jess Beauty skincare range according to your skin concerns.
Tip #9: Healthy Lifestyle Habits
For example, eat a balanced diet high in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A, C, and E to support your skin from the inside out. To support general skin health, practice stress management and get enough restful sleep.
Remember to consume up to eight glasses of water daily to get soft, healthy skin and avoid dehydrated skin. You can set reminders to remind you to drink lots of water throughout the day in case you forget or are too busy.
Tip #10: Anti- age with nourishing ingredients
If you want to incorporate anti-aging treatments into your nighttime routine, try our Age Rewind Retinol Serum, enriched with Bakuchiol and Centella asiatica to hydrate and calm your skin while reducing age spots and texture.
Are you an advanced user? Then try Timeless Skin Retinol Cream, a similar formula but more powerful and enriched with hyaluronic acid to help hydrate the skin afterwards.
Incorporating these 10 tips into your skincare routine can make a significant difference in treating dryness and keeping your face soft and supple. Remember, consistency is key, and understanding your skin's unique needs will help you choose the best products and practices. By staying hydrated, using gentle products, and protecting your skin from harsh elements, you'll be well on your way to a healthier, more radiant complexion.
