Extremely dry skin and step by step treatment

Suffering from very dry skin? You can quickly recognize this by symptoms such as itching, flaking, a tight feeling, and red patches.

Let us help you! We will tell you what the best treatment is for dry facial skin . Choose the best natural facial care for lasting results!

If you have extremely dry skin, you have probably wondered at some point: do I have eczema on my face ? The major difference between dry skin and eczema is the presence of inflammation. With eczema, the skin barrier does not function properly, resulting in moisture loss from the skin and disruptions in the upper layer of the skin. If your skin is red, itchy, and scaly, it is likely more than just dry skin, and you probably have eczema. Although eczema is not contagious , this skin condition may require medical consultation.

The treatment that helps with extremely dry skin

Want to get rid of extremely dry skin for good ? Below is the ideal skincare routine for (very) dry skin, explained step by step.

For a good start, start with a gentle natural cleanser. A cleansing product with mild ingredients is the most important part of a dry skin treatment.
Before applying a care product, use a moisturizing facial spray.
While the spray is on your face, apply one right away cream for dry skin or Hyaluron & Probiotics serum.
Finally, apply a facial oil. This locks the valuable substances of your products into the skin, so don't skip this step.
In addition, use a mild once a week face mask like Lingonberry Bright.
Last, but certainly not least: use natural makeup that does not dry out the skin.

Naturally, for this treatment we use only the best natural products for dry skin.

Mild & natural cleanser; the most important step in a dry skin treatment

Always use a natural cleanser that is gentle on the skin. Why is that? Because the outer layer and sebum production do not function optimally, your skin becomes dry. Cleansers that work too 'well' can damage your natural protective layer even further. However, this layer is indispensable in preventing moisture loss from the skin. In addition, good sebum production provides natural oils that prevent your skin from becoming less dry. Consequently, aggressive synthetic cleansers will only dry out your skin more in the long run, despite the nice promises they make.

Dry skin benefits from cleansing products based on milk or oil. It is, of course, not for nothing that our Balm to Milk cleanser is a best-seller! If you are a fan of soap, you can opt for our Honey Milk facial soap. This luxurious facial cleanser is the best soap for dry skin.

Morning cleansing tip: rose water toner instead of a cleanser. You don't need to cleanse dry skin in the morning. Here's why: overnight, a valuable acid mantle is naturally formed on the skin's surface. As we described earlier, this is a natural protector for your skin that works against dehydration. When you wash this away, you also wash away your own protection. That's a shame, because it only dries out your skin even more! When you wake up, it is better to use a refreshing face spray. Organic Rose Water Face Spray is the perfect way to start the day ♥

Nourishing and moisturizing facial spray

Naturally nourishing and hydrating face spray with floral water is a perfect way to improve skin condition. Some view a face spray merely as a refreshing way to cleanse. But actually, it is much more than that! A good face spray is the best foundation for your hydration. Additionally, a face spray helps restore your pH balance and allows other skincare products to be absorbed better.

This is how you use a facial spray in your morning routine:

As explained earlier, it is better not to wash your face with a cleanser in the morning. Instead, spray two coats of rose water spray on your face. Gently pat your face so that the nourishing substances absorb even better. Then immediately apply a dry skin cream or serum.

Facial spray against dry skin in the evening routine:

Your facial spray will also come in handy at night. Only here you use the spray immediately after cleaning your face. Then apply a dry skin cream or serum again.

Serum & cream good for dry skin

The essence of a dry skin treatment is to help retain moisture. Along with improving its ability to create and maintain an ideal moisture balance. For this, your skin needs help from ingredients that bring moisture into the skin, such as hyaluronic acid or honey.

A good cream for dry skin, for example, is one with hyaluronic acid serum and probiotics. These ingredients balance the skin, make it noticeably smoother, and improve skin texture. It also strengthens the skin barrier—while providing intensive hydration. Combine this with key fatty acids, such as those found in rosehip oil . The result: a healthy skin barrier and sebum production, providing perfect protection against dry skin. You get the most out of this when you apply it after a hydrating facial mist.

You can also use the Arctic Beauty Cream or Propolis Ointment Rescue Cream. Nourishing plant oils, intensely caring extracts, and moisture-regulating bamboo water make these moisturizers perfect for extremely dry facial skin.

Does facial oil help with dry skin?

The best natural face oil for dry skin is Arctic Beauty Oil, containing rosehip oil among other ingredients. Face oil is not moisturizing in itself; its effect lies in locking the beneficial substances into the skin. Face oil can retain the moisture from a face serum or cream in the skin. In doing so, it ensures that the valuable ingredients are absorbed optimally.

The most effective way to use a facial oil on dry skin is to gently massage it into the skin. Then finish with light pressing movements. As a result, all the valuable ingredients of the care products you have used for this will penetrate deeper into the skin.
