The difference between dry and dehydrated skin is that dry skin has less oils, mostly due to genetics, while dehydrated skin is lacking water. When your skin is tight and flaky, that could be signs of both dehydrated or dry skin. Although there is a difference between these two skin states, the cure is similar:
Step 1. Cleanse
Cleansing is an integral part of our recommended beauty routine, but don't feel you have to cleanse twice a day. In the evening, a proper cleansing routine to remove makeup, sunscreen, and any dirt is all you need. In the morning, a splash of water is enough.
Most gel or cream cleansers don't remove makeup well because makeup is often oil-based, while gel and cream cleansers are water-based. And we know that water and oil don't work well together. We recommend using our Fruit Enzyme Gentle Exfoliating Cleansing Oil first to melt makeup and oil.
Our cleansing oil contains a plant-based emulsifier that turns the oil into lotion for easy wash-off. Follow with our Radiance Boost Cleansing Powder to remove the cleansing oil and any residue. Double cleansing ensures that your skin is clean and looks amazing. On top of that, our cleansing oil contains fruit enzymes (pineapple and papaya) that helps to break down the dead skin while being extra gentle so as not to damage the skin barrier.
If you don't wear makeup, our Radiance Boost Cleansing Powder is all you need.
Step 2. Moisturize
Our Nourishing Facial Oil deeply nourishes and moisturizes the skin, prevents water loss, improves the skin's texture, and reduces the appearance of fine lines. It's also:
We highly recommend this for dry skin for deep hydration and supporting the skin barrier.
Step 3. Sunscreen
Choose a sunscreen that works for you in terms of texture and how it feels. Make sure that it has a high sun protection index and re-apply throughout the day before sun exposure.
Step 4. Bonus step: Mask
Experience the luxury of the spa in your own home with our deeply detoxifying and hydrating Pure Marine Glacier Detoxifying mask featuring Canadian glacial clay. It removes oils, secretions, and contaminants from the skin with antibacterial properties. The best part, it detoxifies without drying so it's perfect for your skin. Use weekly.
Remember, you are beautiful. Your skin is there to protect you and is doing a great job. Skin is not meant to be flawless like photoshopped models and filter-heavy Instagram influencers.
