Dry skin can feel tight, rough or uncomfortable, especially after cleansing or during colder weather. A consistent skin care routine for dry skin can help maintain moisture, support the skin’s natural barrier and leave your complexion feeling softer. The best approach is simple: choose gentle products, apply them in the right order and give your skin time to respond.

Begin with a mild cleanser that removes daily build-up without leaving your face feeling stripped. Use lukewarm water rather than hot water, and pat your skin dry with a soft towel. While your face is still slightly damp, apply a hydrating serum if it suits your needs. Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid help attract water, while glycerin can help keep moisture in the skin.

Follow with a moisturiser to reduce water loss and keep dryness more comfortable throughout the day. Look for a formula that feels nourishing without being heavy. In the morning, finish with broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher, even when the weather is cloudy. At night, cleanse gently and apply moisturiser again.

If your skin feels especially dry, a slightly richer cream may be useful. Introduce new products one at a time, and patch test according to the product instructions, particularly if your skin is sensitive. Avoid frequent exfoliation and strongly fragranced formulas if they cause discomfort.

Notice how your skin responds, adjust with the seasons and avoid switching products too often.
