1. How to Spot Dry Skin

Dry skin often feels itchy and uncomfortable and may be flaky, rough or cracked.

It often gets worse as you age or when you’re stressed, causing premature lines and wrinkles due to a lack of elasticity and suppleness in your skin. 

2. How to Treat Dry Skin

With the respect! Foaming cleansers that strip your skin are a massive no-no, as are toners containing harsh alcohols or unnecessary parabens and sulphates.

Also be careful with potent active ingredients like glycolic acid and retinol as applying these too often or in high concentrations could compromise your skin’s barrier function, making your dryness so much worse.  So, what about the things you should do? 

Look for moisturisers that are rich in oils like our Imperial Moisturiser and Night Elixir. 
And, because dry skin is lacking in sebum, it’s a good idea to further replace missing oils with Organic Age-Defying Facial Oil.

3. How to Spot Dehydrated Skin

This is skin that’s lacking in water rather than oil.

A certain tightness, skin that looks duller than normal, dark circles around your eyes and fine lines that weren’t there yesterday are all signs that your skin is temporarily lacking in water. 

4. How to Treat Dehydrated Skin

Step one is to loosen dead skin cells with Natural Luminosity Scrub to help your serums and moisturisers penetrate your skin better. 

Then, for rapid hydration for thirsty skin, our 100% natural Organic Hydration Gel is perfect. Designed specifically to boost water in your cells for instantly soothed skin thanks to its organic aloe vera and vegetable glycerin. 

Pre-Eminent Beauty Serum is perfect for this to provide a double, thirst-quenching hit. Better still, use the serum and the gel together – applying the serum first, followed by your hydration gel.
