Dry Skin Type

Dry Skin

Dry skin happens when the skin is unable to retain enough moisture. Common causes include frequent washing, harsh soaps, aging, or certain medical conditions. Living in a colder climate can also contribute, as cold, dry winter air tends to dehydrate the skin.

During the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere, also in Latvia, it’s common for skin to feel red, rough, irritated, and itchy — especially on the hands.

How to help to your dry skin:

• Apply a moisturizer right after washing your skin.
• Opt for a cream or ointment instead of a lighter lotion.
• Stick to gentle, mild skincare products.
• Wear non-irritating fabrics and use a gentle laundry detergent.
• Increase humidity in your environment, for example, with a humidifier.
• Stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water.

For individuals with fair or light skin, dry skin can often appear red or irritated more easily and may increase the likelihood of conditions such as rosacea. In people with melanin-rich skin, dryness is often seen as a dull, greyish, or “ashy” tone, typically caused by transepidermal water loss (TEWL).

When caring for dry, melanin-rich skin, it’s important to focus on ingredients that protect the skin barrier, provide hydration, and lock in moisture, such as Urea, Jojoba oil, Sunflower oil, Olive oil, Coconut oil, Glycerin, Hyaluronic acid, or Shea butter.

Regular, gentle exfoliation can also help by removing the outer layer of dead, dry skin cells to reveal smoother, more radiant skin. Avoid harsh scrubs that may cause micro-tears or irritation.

For both light and dark skin tones, it’s best to avoid alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and retinoids. These ingredients can interfere with the skin’s ability to restore its natural oils, which is crucial for managing dryness.
