Best Skin Care Practices for Dry Skin

Have you ever seen someone with an almost flawless complexion?  Chances are that person has a dry skin type.  While it may appear very beautiful, characterized by a fine texture and almost invisible pores during youth, dry skin may also show signs of premature aging, with the appearance of fine lines earlier than most skin types.  If your skin type is dry, it usually feels tight and dehydrated over the entire face, especially after cleansing and before you apply your moisturizer. Dry skin has little or no oil in the T-zone, and may look dull and even flaky at times.  Keeping your skin hydrated is of utmost importance, and we suggest looking for products with ingredients like hyaluronic acid to help your skin attract and retain moisture. 

 One of Charisma Skin’s most-raved about products, Hydra gel, is a skincare intensive serum to help deeply hydrates the skin. Moisturizing and protecting dry skin is vital for keeping the skin healthy and looking great.  My personal favorite moisturizer for dry skin is our Botanical Bio-Peptide Creme, a replenishing night treatment.  For dry skin, we recommend following your moisturizer with a silky serum like our Liquid Gold, a dynamic veil for the skin with cucumber, matricaria, ginseng and lavender, oils of carrot and apricot, and Vitamins A & E to help nourish and protect dry skin.  For Daytime, we suggest a hydrating moisturizer with broad-spectrum SPF, like our Hydrating Protection SPF-30.  Drinking enough water and eating a healthy diet, including foods with healthy fats such as salmon, avocado and almonds may also benefit dry skin.
