Simple Skincare Routine For Dry & Dehydrated Skin

Dry and dehydrated skin requires products that hydrate and help the skin retain moisture.

As we discussed in our "Say Goodbye to Dry Skin" article, dehydrated skin is often mistaken for dry skin. Dry skin lacks sebum on the skin's surface, while dehydrated skin is caused by Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL).

Here is a simple skincare routine with recommended products to make the skin soft, smooth, hydrated, and supple. Both dry and dehydrated skin will benefit from using these products.

Ultra Gentle Cleanser is a sulfate-free gel cleanser that provides antioxidant support. This gentle cleanser is appropriate for all skin types, including sensitive skin, dry skin, or mature skin.

Radiant Glow Facial Cleanser is a natural face wash that is gentle and effective. It has a smooth and luxurious lather that rinses clean, taking dirt and makeup with it, leaving your skin feeling soft and supple with the glow of healthy radiant skin.
