What is dry skin type?

Dry skin is characterized by low sebum production, which means the skin produces less of the natural oils that help retain moisture.

When the skin lacks these fats, the skin barrier becomes weaker. Therefore, a dry skin type is often also dehydrated. Moisture evaporates more easily from the skin surface, and the skin can feel dry, tight and sensitive.

How to strengthen the skin barrier in dry skin?

To care for dry skin, it is important to add both moisture and nourishment. Products with moisture-binding ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin and panthenol help increase the skin's moisture level, while emollient ingredients such as plant oils, ceramides and squalane strengthen the skin barrier and help the skin retain moisture.

If you use too thin skin care products that are rich in moisture but do not contain enough oils, the moisture will quickly evaporate from the skin, leaving it feeling dry again.

Here you will find a selection of skin care products for dry skin:

  • Gentle cleansers for dry skin
  • Rich face creams for dry skin
  • Serum that boosts moisture and reduces dry skin
  • Balms for the driest skin that help the skin retain moisture

How to build a skincare routine for dry skin

Step 1: Oil-based cleanser to avoid stripping skin of moisture

Step 2: Serum that boosts moisture and stimulates increased moisture production in the skin. If the skin is very red and sensitive, the serum may be too active. Then strengthen the skin barrier over a few months before adding a serum.

Step 3: Face cream with both enough moisture and oil. Dry skin lacks fats and is therefore unable to retain oil like oily skin. Therefore, you also need enough oil in your products.

Step 4: Balm that creates a protective barrier so that moisture does not disappear from the skin. If you struggle with your skin “leaking” moisture and your skin feeling dry even though you apply it morning and night, this is often the solution to the problem.
