Resolve your dry skin issues once and for all with replenishing skin care products for dry skin that expertly cleanse, moisturize, and balance.
What is Dry Skin?
Dry skin is mainly an imbalance of sebum, your skin’s natural oil that hydrates your skin. It’s both a skin type and an issue that most people experience at one time or another. Typical signs of dry skin are redness, rough patches, a feeling of tightness, and dull or flaky skin. The key to restoring your skin’s natural elasticity and radiance is choosing the right skin care products for dry skin.

What Causes Dry Skin?
There are a number of factors that cause dry skin, some of which are preventable. Seasonal extremes, indoor heating, windy conditions, and hot/arid climates are the main culprits; but genetics, age, pollution, and insufficient water intake can be blamed for skin imbalances as well. Using the wrong products for dry skin also tends to strip skin of its natural oils.

Tips for Dry Skin
- Always treat dry skin gently. Wash your face with lukewarm water and avoid extreme hot or cold temperatures when cleansing.
- Harsh cleansers, especially if they contain alcohol or strong astringents, are a no-no in a skin care routine for dry skin. Focus on products that contain hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and aloe vera.
- Rubbing and scrubbing can irritate dry skin. Opt for a soft microfiber towel and pat your face dry instead.
- Invest in an air humidifier for your home and try to maintain the moisture level in your home at a skin-friendly 40-50% to avoid drying out your skin.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
What ingredients are good for dry skin? The best skin care products for dry skin contain emollients and humectants that replenish and lock in moisture and prevent water loss. Deeply hydrating ingredients like aloe vera, shea butter, rose water, and hyaluronic acid are excellent solutions that can be found in many Garnier dry skin products such as SkinActive Moisture Rescue gel creams and Micellar Cleansing Water with Hyaluronic Acid and Aloe. Try to include one or more of these moisturizing ingredients in all your face products for dry skin so your skin care routine is fully attuned to your skin’s needs. And never forget to apply an SPF moisturizer before you go outside! -
Can dry skin cause wrinkles? While dry skin is not a direct cause of fine lines and wrinkles, it does tend to make your skin look more crepey, dull, and less supple. In other words, dry skin can accentuate any existing wrinkles because it’s depleted of the oils that make skin soft and plump. Lightweight day creams and more intensive night moisturizers for dry skin work to keep a good balance that blurs fine lines and minimizes the appearance of wrinkles. -
How can you tell if your skin is dehydrated? Thankfully, the outward signs of dehydrated skin are relatively easy to spot. Your skin may feel taut, itchy, and generally uncomfortable. You might see patches of redness or irritation. Certain areas can feel rough to the touch, like around the eyebrows or on the chin and cheeks. In more extreme cases, dry skin can start flaking and become cracked. If you suspect your skin is dehydrated, you can also do a quick test by gently pinching a section of your cheek. If the skin doesn’t bounce back quickly, chances are your skin is craving hydration.
