When it comes to caring for your skin, there are three simple commandments – prevent, protect and repair. In order to do this, you need to follow a dedicated skincare routine that includes the products that are specifically designed to suit your skin type for them to work and show results.
Therefore, if you have dry skin and are looking for products to help hydrate and soothe your skin, then you have come to right place. In this article, we have curated seven products that every girl with dry skin needs in her kitty. Go ahead and add these products to your cart ASAP, but don’t forget to thank us later!
01. Cleanser
Removing makeup and washing your face to get rid of impurities is a step that you should never skip. If you have dry skin, you ought to choose your cleanser wisely in order to ensure that your skin doesn’t dry out any further. Therefore, we recommend you to pick a cream-based cleanser such as the Lakme Blush & Glow Strawberry Creme Face Wash. Enriched with strawberry extracts, it is not just high in moisture, but also delivers a burst of antioxidants to keep your skin clean and healthy.
02. Toner
If you have dry skin, then you must always use a toner after washing your face. This because cleansing messes up the pH level of your skin, making it feel dry and tight. Using a toner helps to infuse the lost moisture back into your skin and balances the pH levels to restore and maintain health. The Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner, which is enriched with aloe, cucumber and lavender extract is absolutely perfect for this job. It not only hydrates the skin, but also helps to keep it smooth and nourished.
03. Exfoliator
Exfoliation is a skincare habit you should develop, irrespective of your skin type. People with dry skin tend to have a lot of dead skin build-up, especially if your skin is parched and flaky. Exfoliating your face with a gentle scrub such as the St. Ives Energizing Coconut & Coffee Scrub, helps to not only slough away dead skin and reveal fresh healthy skin, but also ensures a better absorption of the all your skincare products.
04. Moisturiser
If you have dry skin, using a moisturiser is an absolute no-brainer, but the kind of moisturiser you use is really important. Since dry needs that extra bit of moisture, look for a cream-based moisturiser with a thick and rich formula for amazing hydration We recommend you to try the Simple Kind To Skin Replenishing Rich Moisturiser as it is delivers double skin hydration for up to 24 hours without that annoying greasy feel.
05. Face mask
No skincare routine is ever complete without a face mask. For dry skin, we recommend you to use a face mask with moisturising ingredients such as glycerine, aloe vera, vitamin E, etc. to boost skin hydration and keep your skin plump. The Pond’s Skin Brightening Serum Mask With Vitamin E & Niacinamide is the perfect choice for you. It not only intensely moisturises dry skin, but also brightens and conditions it.
07. Sunscreen
Sunscreen is a MUST-HAVE skincare product in every girl’s kit. It not just prevents your skin from UVA and UVB rays, but also protects against skin cancer, dark spots and premature ageing. The Pond’s Sun Protect Non-Oily Sunscreen SPF 50 is the perfect choice for this. Armed with SPF 50 PA+++, this sunscreen provides incredible all-round protection against sun damage.
06. Night cream
Since your skin repairs, rejuvenates and replenishes itself in the night, it is really important to use a moisturising and repairing night cream to aid in this process. We suggest you use the Lakme 9 to 5 Naturale Night Crème. Enriched with pure aloe vera, this cream provides intense moisture to ensure that you wake up to hydrated, soft and supple skin.
