Recommendations For Dry skin

Re: Recommendations For Dry skin

@UrFavGurl  Looking at your skincare routine below, I’ll recommend you stop using the Glow Recipe exfoliating toner twice a day. Ease up to just 1-3 times a week, never twice in one day, and see if that helps your skin feel less dry. PHA is a gentle exfoliant, but your particular skin might not be able to handle it daily, let alone twice daily. 

Also, what do you use to wash your face? Does it leave your skin feeling “squeaky clean“? If yes, then it’s stripping too much oil from your skin and leaving it dry. You might need a different cleanser. 

Lala Retro’s a good moisturizer. Do you apply it while your skin’s damp? That’ll help seal in hydration instead of dryness. If your skin’s excessively dry, you might need a moisturizer that contains petrolatum (the most water loss preventing ingredient on the market) and ceramides for skin barrier repair. Good ol’ CeraVe Moisturizing Cream is a good option.

@UrFavGurl the dermatologist rule for great skin is vitamin C in the  morning and retinol at night.  And always a sunscreen everyday   without  knowing your budget here are some suggestions 

 

The INKEY List Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Hydrating Face Serum  

Tatcha Violet-C Brightening Serum 20% Vitamin C + 10% AHA 1 oz/ 30 mL  

Sunday Riley Luna Retinol Sleeping Night Oil  

Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 

First Aid Beauty Face Moisturizer with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 1.7 oz / 50 ml 

 

If minis are available try them before you make a big commitment .

Re: Recommendations For Dry skin

Can I ask what are you using for your dry skin right now? @UrFavGurl  What's you day and night routine look like?

Re: Recommendations For Dry skin

@UrFavGurl I have combo skin more on the dry side and found the DE moisturizer, GR toner, and Tower28 mist did not help my skin. 

Re: Recommendations For Dry skin

Thank you for sharing that, and you find your skin is still dry? Is it all over, or in certain areas? Are you using that Glow Recipie toner twice a day, everyday? Can I ask how old you are, is your skin very young or older, somewhere inbetween? and do you have any skin concerns your current routine isn't helping with? @UrFavGurl
