Understanding Dryness
Dry skin occurs when the skin barrier lacks sufficient lipids and moisture to stay hydrated. This weakened barrier allows water loss, making the skin more sensitive and prone to irritation, rough texture, and early signs of aging.

The Symptoms
Skin may feel tight or uncomfortable, especially after cleansing. Common signs include flaking, rough patches, dullness, redness, and fine lines caused by dehydration.
The Solution
Focus on repairing and strengthening the skin barrier. Look for nourishing ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and rich emollients that deeply hydrate, soothe, and lock in moisture.
