Care for dry skin

Dry skin produces less sebum than normal skin – this is genetically determined. The hydrolipid film that protects the skin surface is thinner and less stable. The result: water evaporates faster into the environment (transepidermal water loss), and irritants penetrate more easily from outside.

Hyaluronic acid draws water into the skin layers and binds it there – high molecular weight on the surface, low molecular weight a bit deeper. Glycerin and Aloe Vera complement as natural moisturizing factors. Important: moisture alone is not enough – without a sealing cream, it evaporates quickly again.

Serum first, on slightly damp skin. Then the cream on top – this way moisture is locked in instead of evaporating.

Not every dry skin needs the same care all year round. In summer, lighter but lipid-rich emulsions are often enough. In winter – when cold and heating air put extra stress on the skin – the skin needs richer creams with a higher fat content.

A basic routine for dry skin: gentle cleansing without drying surfactants – hydrating serum on slightly damp skin – rich cream to seal in – optional facial oil as the last step.

Weekly moisturizing masks provide additional support for the skin. Introduce new products gradually so the skin can adjust. The right texture doesn’t feel heavy – it lays on the skin like a pleasant protective film.
