Gentle Skin Care for Dry Skin: Repair, Soothe, Protect

Dry skin is often caused by a lack of the skin’s natural oils, which makes it harder for the skin to retain moisture. Dry skin on face may feel tight and rough and can appear flaky, especially on the cheeks, nose, and forehead. Effective skin care for dry skin focuses on gentle cleansing and combining both water-based and oil-based hydration. Read more!

Gentle Skin Care for Dry Skin: Repair, Soothe, Protect

Dry Skin on Face

Dry skin, also known as a dry skin type, is typically caused by a deficiency of sebum, the skin’s natural oils, as well as slight structural differences in the skin. Dry skin on the face can feel tight, rough, and appear flaky. Compared to normal skin, dry skin does not retain moisture as effectively. The goal of skin care for dry skin is to provide both hydration and nourishing lipids to support the skin.

Dehydrated Skin

Dry, flaky skin on the face is a common sign of dry or dehydrated skin. Skin dryness on face causes can include a lack of natural oils, weather conditions, or overly harsh cleansing products. When the skin loses moisture, it may feel tight and begin to flake, particularly around the cheeks, nose, and forehead.

Skin Care Routine for Dry Skin

An effective skin care routine for dry skin should be built around products that support the skin barrier, bind moisture, and nourish the skin to keep it soft and balanced. Start with cleansing. Once the skin is gently cleansed, the foundation of skin care for dry skin is in place.

Cleansing

Laponie Nourishing Oil Cleanser – for dry skin and sensitive skin, suitable for makeup removal and facial cleansing.

Laponie Mild Milk Cleanser – for dry, sensitive, dehydrated skin, combination skin, and gentle facial cleansing.

Moisturising

After cleansing, skin care for dry skin continues with moisturising. Choose a toner, serum, cream, and/or facial oil. A proper skin care routine for dry skin requires both water-based hydration and lipid-rich ingredients to soften and protect the skin. A richer cream such as Rich Face Cream provides hydration and protection in one product.

Laponie Customer Story

Anu: Dry, congested & reactive skin

My skin felt softer already after the first few days, but after two weeks the flakiness and roughness on my forehead had disappeared. My skin is more even, smoother and softer, and my pores and lines aren’t as visible (the biggest change is on my forehead).
