Dry skin is often associated with reduced barrier function. This means there’s an increase in transepidermal water loss, which can impact skin comfort. Targeted dry skin skincare focuses on replenishing and rebuilding the skin barrier while soothing tight, dry, dull and red skin.
Cleansing plays a key role in maintaining balance, with cream, milk and oil cleansers preferred to minimise moisture loss. Following cleansing, hydrating serums and barrier-supporting treatments help reinforce hydration, while richer moisturisers help maintain moisture levels. Once or twice a week, incorporate gentle exfoliation and hydrating masks to manage surface flaking and support overall skin smoothness.
Skincare products for dry skin focus on supporting barrier function while maintaining hydration and comfort. Within the Ella Baché range, the Classic moisture protectives, Sensibeautics, Eternal, and Hydra collections incorporate hydrating, nourishing, and lipid-replenishing actives to help restore moisture balance and reduce visible sensitivity.
Creamy milk cleansers remove makeup and impurities while helping maintain the skin’s natural lipid balance. Ingredients such as pure botanical extracts, pure oils, and lanolin support skin nourishment and help reinforce barrier function, leaving the skin feeling softer and more comfortable after cleansing.
Hyaluronic acid functions as a humectant, helping attract and retain moisture within the skin. These serums with hyaluronic acid support hydration levels, improving the appearance of fine lines associated with dryness, while botanical extracts help provide antioxidant support and maintain skin comfort.
During the day, a hyaluronic day cream with Hyaluronic Osmolytes helps protect the skin with a protective film, not only hydrating and protecting it but also providing a soft, smooth surface. In the evening, hyaluronic night creams with shea butter and rapeseed oil provide a thicker, reparative treatment that deeply nourishes while you sleep.
Hydrating mists deliver a lightweight layer of moisture to re-energise the skin and top up the protective barrier to avoid moisture loss, also soothing that tightness. Formulations containing witch hazel are cooling and calming, while an advanced blend of super hydrators plumps and revitalises moisture content in the skin’s surface.
Dry skin is associated with reduced lipid content and impaired barrier function, which can increase moisture loss. Contributing factors may include environmental exposure, ageing and the use of unsuitable skincare products. Using skincare for dry skin, moisturising regularly, avoiding hot showers and protecting your skin from the elements can all help prevent it.
If your skin feels dry, flaky and rough, it’s likely lacking oil. However, if it tends to feel dry, tired or sensitive, while sometimes being oily, it might just be dehydrated. While dehydration can be addressed with hydrating ingredients, dry skin requires both hydration and lipid replenishment to support barrier function.
Yes, many dry skin skincare products are designed to be gentle enough for sensitive skin. However, it’s always important to check the label and ingredients to ensure the product contains no harsh chemicals.
Someone with dry skin should moisturise at least twice a day, morning and night, to keep their skin consistently hydrated and nourished. You may want to reapply throughout the day if your skin feels extra tight or dry.
