FAB Skin Routine for Dry Skin

Dry skin is quite common and usually is not a serious condition. For most people, there are many treatments and skin care routines that will help to increase hydration and improve the appearance of dry skin.

When your skin is dry, it is less able to protect itself from the environment. Tiny cracks in the skin may interfere with its hydration. Though many experience dry skin year round, most find the winter months to be more severe. By following a dry skin care routine, we can help you achieve smooth, hydrated skin from January to December.

Morning Routine for Dry Skin

When beginning the day in the morning, your routine should focus on protecting your skin from the sun and other environmental pollutants. A variety of products will help you to cleanse, moisturize and protect your skin from these harmful external factors.

Choosing a Cleanser

Look for a dry skin cleanser that is gentle and hydrating versus one that might irritate your skin or strip it of its moisture. Pure Skin Face Cleanser is as gentle as it is effective at removing makeup, dirt and grime. This non-stripping, pH-balanced formula helps maintain skin’s natural acidity and reduces flair-ups while thoroughly cleaning your pores.

Exfoliate

To get that deep down clean, the next step your dry skin routine is exfoliation. Exfoliation helps to combat dullness, large pores, uneven skin tones and uneven texture. Facial Radiance Pads are a convenient daily treatment that contains just the right amount of Lactic and Glycolic Acids to safely and effectively exfoliate, tone, and brighten all skin types, including dry and sensitive skin.

Next, you want to add a quality serum. Serums are concentrated ingredients, so their effects are quite powerful. Ultra Repair Hydrating Serum is our universal serum that gives skin its daily dose of moisture resulting in soft, smooth, youthful-looking skin. Dry skin types find that this hydrating gel instantly infuses skin with essential hydration to help plump and seal in moisture.

Day Moisturizer

Prep your skin in the morning for the day ahead with a head-to-toe hydrating moisturizer. Our award winning Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration is the perfect solution. The formulation is made with powerful ingredients, including colloidal oatmeal, shea butter and a blend of natural antioxidant, to give dry skin the hydration it needs and is even suitable for sensitive skin. The beautiful, whipped texture is instantly absorbed with no greasy after-feel.

Sunscreen

Protecting your skin from the sun’s powerful rays is critical to caring for dry skin.

Night routine for dry skin

Night is the optimal time to focus your dry skin routine on repair. While you sleep, your body repairs itself, and this includes your skin cells.

Cleanser for Night

After a full day of work, life and whatever else you have been through, it is important to once again clean your skin. Pure Skin Face Cleanser leaves skin soft and supple before a good night’s sleep. The sumptuous, creamy texture never leaves skin feeling tight or dry.

Toner

For an extra dose of hydration post-cleansing, apply our alcohol free Ultra Repair Wild Oat Hydrating Toner to hydrate and balance your skin.

Dry skin tends to have great results with thicker moisturizers like Ultra Repair Hydra-Firm Sleeping Cream .

This super-charged blend helps visibly combat the appearance of aging during skin’s nightly repair phase.
