Dry/Dehydrated Skin

Dry Skin

This skin type does not produce enough oil (sebum) to keep your skin moisturized, resulting in dry, tight and sometimes flaky skin. Climate, hormonal changes, damage to the skin barrier, using the wrong cleansers, lifestyle, medications, etc. further dry out skin or contribute to dehydrated skin, which is a skin condition that looks and feels just like dry skin.

Cleanse
For dry and dehydrated skin, its best to only cleanse once a day, with Botanical Cleanser. Rather than cleansing a second time use either the Cranberry Rose Skin Refiner or the Probiotic Polishing Mask for nourishment in the evening. More details regarding exfoliating masks are found at the end of the skincare routine.  If you use one of the above exfoliating masks, you don't need to use any of the other listed.  However, if you would prefer to use one of the other exfoliating masks, it's best to use those 1 - 3 times per week.

Toner
For dry skin, we recommend the Rescue Hydrating Mist as a toner for extra hydration. This can also be used to set your makeup and to hydrate your skin during the day if it feels dry.

Treatment
Treatments are more targeted products for a specific issue or issues that need more attention.. For dry/dehydrated skin, the following products are recommended.

• Angelite Crystal Elixir is infused with Peptides, Tremella Mushrooms, and Angelite Crystal, it noticeably firms, hydrates, and revitalizes dull, dry, and dehydrated, mature skin.
• Treatment Enzyme Gel is crafted as a natural, fruit-based substitute for retinol (vitamin-A) and boasts a potent blend of concentrated whole fruit extracts which work to deeply hydrate, and rejuvenate your skin.

Moisturize
You have many great option to hydrate and moisturize your skin!  If you have dry skin without any skin conditions, such as hyperpigmentation, rosacea or acne, then your two best options would be the Elite Moisturizing Cream during the day and the Riche Liposome Moisturizer at night, particularly in the winter, or the Natural Peptide Mask which can be left on over night as a moisturizer.  Elina's newest moisturizer, that has become very popular with those with dry skin is Amber Collagen Cream, which can be used day and night.  Lastly, if you want to seal in your moisturizer, try the fabulous Baikal Crystal Balm overtop of your moisturizer.  It seals in all the hydration and moisture to leave your skin feeling soft and supple.

If however, you have issues such as rosacea/redness or are prone to breakouts, your day and night time moisturizer should be the Anti Wrinkle Liposome Moisturizer.

As a final step of your skincare routine, be sure to protect your skin by applying Sun Shelter, Probiotic Colour or the Crushed Powder Foundation all of which contain zinc based sunscreen.

Exfoliators & Masks

Exfoliating and masking are a critical part of the skincare routine because exfoliating your skin removes dead skin cells that can make skin look dull and lackluster. Masks generally are focused on a specific treatment, such as addressing dark spots or adding hydration. For Dry/Dehydrated Skin Types, the following masks are all great options. Pick one to try or mix and match! Best part...they are all exfoliating masks, so they do two steps in one and saves you from buying two different products. Say hello to glowing, radiant skin!
