Dry skin on the face can be a real pain, especially in the winter months when skin reacts to the low humidity from cold air outside and artificial heating indoors. It can cause skin to become flaky, itchy, and feel tight.
Choose a gentle cleanser or face wash with no harsh ingredients like acids, retinoids and alcohol, as they can dry out skin even further.
Essential oils can be beneficial for dry skin too – not necessarily to use every day, but as a special treat. Some of the best facial oils include Argan oil, rosehip oil, jojoba oil, vitamin E oil and almond oil, and can provide dry skin with some serious moisture.
Some of the best moisturisers for dry skin:
- Hemp oil face cream
- Coconut oil face cream
- Collagen-enriched face cream
- Shea butter face cream
- Turmeric face cream
And don’t forget, drinking lots of water can help keep dry skin hydrated too.
