Skin Type: Dry Skin
What is Dry Skin ?
When your skin does not produce enough oil, it is considered dry. And you may find your skin does not maintain its moisture throughout the day.
- Many, but not all, mature or aging individuals fall into this category of dry skin because as we age, our skin has a tendency to produce less oil.
- The pores are usually small or barely noticeable. However, some dry skin types may experience a rough, flaky texture.
- This type of skin usually feels dry after cleansing and needs to use a moisturizer right away.
- Dry skin is prone to fine lines, wrinkles, skin sensitivities as well as water loss or dehydration.
- In warm and humid climates, dry skin types often feel great. The moisture helps this skin type retain its oil.
- In cool and dry climates, water loss can occur and the skin will often feel much drier and can feel tight and dry.

Skin Care Tips
- The goal of the dry skin type is to make sure it is properly moisturized and hydrated. That means not using products that rob your skin of its natural oils and water.
- Dry skin is also subject to becoming sensitive and dehydrated as well. If your skin is extremely tight and dry, it may be dehydrated and dry meaning it lacks oil and water. See Dry Dehydrated Sensitive Skin
- Dry skin types should cleanse with cleansers that don't strip it of its natural oils. Milk based cleansers nourish and cleanse the skin while protecting its moisture balance.
- Eating foods high in essential fatty acids like those found in fatty fish like salmon and tuna will help alleviate dryness from the inside out.
- Dry skin types should avoid harsh foaming and gel type cleansers and any cleanser that makes the skin feel dry immediately after cleansing.
- Natural ingredients like blue green algae, kiwi, goats milk, rose, honey, cranberries, tamanu oil, neem oil and rosehip oil along with aloe will nourish and protect this delicate skin type.
- An exfoliating mask will clear any impurities and exfoliate dead skin cells revealing a beautiful glowing complexion underneath.
- Daily use of a sunscreen will even out your skin tone.
