Dry skin can feel tight, rough or uncomfortable when it needs more moisture or when your current products are leaving the skin feeling stripped of hydration. Weather, air conditioning, hot showers, travel and harsh cleansing products can also make dryness feel more noticeable. Choosing gentle cleansers, hydrating serums, moisturisers and masks can help make your routine feel more nourishing and supportive.

FAQs
What does the best skincare routine for dry skin actually look like?
The best skincare routine for dry skin focuses on hydration and barrier repair. Skip foaming cleansers that may leave the skin drier, and start with a mild cleanser such as Pelactiv’s Hydrating Cream Cleanser or Vita C+ Fresh Gel Cleanser. Follow with a toner, then apply a hydrating serum like Hyaluronic Acid Serum Forte. Finish with a moisturiser such as Hydra Daily Defense, Vita C+ Dream Cream, Ultimate Repair Day Cream or Nightly Rejuvenator to help keep skin feeling soft, plump and dewy.
Can dry skin lead to other skin problems?
Dry skin can sometimes make other concerns feel more noticeable, including flakiness, rough texture, dullness and sensitivity. Fine lines may also appear more visible when the skin is feeling dry.
Why does my skin get drier in certain seasons or environments?
Skin gets drier in certain seasons or environments because low humidity, air conditioning, indoor heating, wind and travel can draw moisture away from the skin’s surface. When this happens, the skin may feel flaky or irritated, especially if your routine is not moisturising enough.
How do I know if I’ve found the best skincare products for my dry skin?
You’ll know you’ve found the best skincare products for dry skin when your skin feels comfortable throughout the day without that pulled, uncomfortable feeling, redness or flakiness. The products should absorb nicely and sit well on the skin, without feeling heavy, greasy or sticky. If your moisturiser feels too thick or makes your skin feel congested, it may not be the right fit for your dry skin routine.
What’s the first step to addressing my dry skin?
Start by finding the point where your skin feels the driest. If it feels uncomfortable straight after washing, your cleanser may be the problem. If it feels dry again by midday, your moisturiser may not be doing enough. Once you know where the dryness starts, you can choose products more intentionally instead of layering on whatever feels rich. A gentle cleanser, hydrating serum and moisturiser are the essentials, but the right combination should leave your skin feeling calm and flexible from morning to night.
