Dry Skin

Tightness, flaking, or dullness often means your skin is craving moisture and barrier support.

What’s Really Happening

Dry skin isn’t just about needing “more moisturizer.”
It’s often a sign that your skin’s natural barrier isn’t holding onto water as well as it should.

Cold weather, indoor heating, over-cleansing, and harsh ingredients can all strip the skin — leaving it feeling tight, rough, or uncomfortable.

Common Signs of Dry Skin

• Tight or “stretched” feeling after cleansing

• Flakiness or rough patches

• Dull appearance

• Makeup sitting unevenly

• Skin that feels thirsty no matter what you apply

---

What Actually Helps

• Gentle, non-stripping cleansers

• Hydrating layers (water + oil, not one or the other)

• Barrier-supporting ingredients

• Sealing moisture in while skin is slightly damp

Avoid:

• Foaming or overly clarifying cleansers

• Alcohol-heavy products

• Long, hot showers on the face
