FACE
Unsurprisingly, our number one piece of advice would be to keep your skin hydrated! There’s a wealth of moisturisers and oils on the market but it’s the ingredients you need to be looking out for to ensure they’ll quench your dry skin’s thirst.
#1 Hyaluronic Acid
Look for Hyaluronic Acid in the ingredients of your skincare products, like The Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cream. Formulated with a 30% Hyaluronic Acid complex, the moisturiser intensely hydrates by attracting and retaining water from moisture in the air, which plumps the appearance of skin to promote a supple, smoother-looking complexion. Use it in the morning on a freshly cleansed face and on an evening before you go to sleep.
#2 Lactic Acid
Another ingredient that works wonders on dry skin is lactic acid. The ingredients used in The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% +HA 2% Superficial Peeling Formulation work to gently exfoliate the skin to transform your complexion. Use this as little and often as necessary to reduce rough and dry skin.
#3 B Oil
The Ordinary B Oil is another product on our list of beauty must-haves. The Ordinary B Oil helps to restore a healthy glow to your complexion, boasting a range of nourishing ingredients including purified Micro-Algae, argan, brazil nut and rosehip oil. The formula acts as a natural barrier to defend against damage caused by unfavourable weather and will leave your skin back in its healthy state.
