Skincare Tips For Dry Skin That Really Work

To begin with, skin dryness is a condition which is called dehydration. But dry skin is a particularly delicate skin type to handle. We’re talking dry, flaky, rough, tight, scaly or in extreme cases, cracked skin. But the good part? Finding the right skincare products and following skin-loving practices can make all the difference and take your skin from being super-uncomfortable to dewy and glowy. Keep scrolling to know about everything that can heal, nourish and protect your dry skin.

What is dry skin exactly?

Dry skin basically means that your skin cannot retain moisture. The skin’s outer layer develops tiny cracks, which comprises the barrier’s health and opens the gates for water to escape. So, achieving skin that is healthy and bouncy will take a little more effort than simply loading up on moisturizer.

8 best tips on how to treat dry skin

1. Watch the water temperature

As comforting as hot water showers are, they are bad news for dry skin. Washing your face with very hot water can strip it of natural essential oils that maintain your skin’s elasticity. Stick to lukewarm or room temperature water while washing your face. This will avoid moisture loss and keep your skin supple and soft.

2. Exfoliate smartly

Exfoliating might sound like a nightmare if your skin is overly dry and sensitive. But, not if you have the right product by your side. Our Mesmerice Ultra Nourishing Cream Mask is a god-sent for dry skin that gently exfoliates without stripping the skin. Thanks to its luxuriously creamy formulation, your dry skin will end up feeling much softer than before. It contains a blend of rice powder + kaolin clay that exfoliate and nourish your skin in one go. Use it twice every week and we’re sure the results will leave you amazed!

3. Load up on hydrating serums

There is no such thing as too much hydration for dry skin. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin will take your skin from parched to plump in no time! The best way to bank up on them is by using a hydrating serum. Our Birch Please Skin Soothing Clarifying Serum has a good amount of hyaluronic acid as well as birch juice – a plant sap that soothes and calms skin. It also has niacinamide that helps fade pigmentation and dark spots. Another serum super-star is our Mesmerice Intense Repair Serum. It is a part of our dry skin range and has intensely hydrating ingredients like glycerin, vitamin E, rice water and olives that revives dull skin and adds glow.

4. Layer moisturizer with facial oil

Both these products are game-changers for dry skin. Firstly, make it a habit to apply your moisturizer on damp skin, which allows the ingredients to better penetrate skin. Pick a rich moisturizer that loves your dry skin back, our Bravocado Ultra Light Nourishing Face & Body Cream is loaded with natural oils like avocado, apricot, lavender, sea buckthorn along with pomegranate extracts and rice water. This creamy moisturizer brings a perfect medley of natural ingredients and skincare actives like vitamin C and E that boost skin’s radiance. Once it is massaged well, add a layer of a nourishing facial oil like rosehip oil or jojoba oil to give your skin some extra moisture and a sheer glow.

5. Steer clear of foaming face cleansers

Choosing the right facial cleanser for dry skin is the first step towards keeping it healthy. While all cleansers are meant to sweep away dirt and impurities, foaming cleansers might end up tad bit too much for dry skin to handle. Instead, opt for a cream-based face wash that will deep cleanse your face without disrupting your skin the way foaming cleansers do. Pick our Mesmerice Gentle Exfoliation Cream Face Wash that unclogs pores and eliminates dead and dull skin, while making your skin bouncy soft.

6. Add oils to your bath water

This is a genius skincare tip for dry skin. Boost your skin’s hydration level by adding a body oil to your bath water. Whether you simply want to dip your tired body in some warm water or take a bath, adding 1-2 tablespoons of oils like coconut oil or olive oil will add a ton of nourishment to your skin. You may also add some bath salts for a calming experience.

7. Mist away!

Keeping a mist handy is a good idea when you have dry skin. It’s a quick way to top up on some hydration and transform your skin into its dewy, bouncy self. You will love our Birch Please Moisturizing Face Mist that has a blend of glow-boosting and hydrating ingredients like sodium hyaluronate, sea buckthorn and passionflower along with aloe juice and calendula that leave a non-greasy glow.

8. Sleeping masks are the best

There is no doubt that skincare products like serums and moisturizers will add dollops of moisture to your skin. But then there is also the nighttime. Full 8-9 hours of it! Replenish your skin while you sleep with a hydrating overnight sleeping mask. Your skin works extra hard at night, so it only makes sense to give it a helping-hand with our Birch Please Intense Hydration Water Sleeping Mask.
