The Best Tips For Skin Care Routine For Dry Skin

Is There Any Skin Care Routine For Dry And Acne-Prone Skin? 

To begin with, the best skin care for dry skin starts with establishing the cause.  Indeed, various factors can contribute to skin dryness – from dehydration to hormonal imbalances.

Also, remember that some ingredients in conventional skin care products may worsen the problem instead of easing it.  This happened to me when I struggled with severe acne in my 20s.  I almost used gasoline to burn the pimples because I thought of the burn scars as less evil than acne.  Fortunately, I decided against this extreme regimen.

At that time, the only approach I knew of to fight acne was to use skin care products with benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid.  In addition to killing bacteria on my skin, including beneficial bacteria, they caused my skin to dry and peel.  So, I can relate to anyone who has flaky, itchy, tight and reddened skin with deepened wrinkles.

After doing research into skin care ingredients, I was able to solve my skin problem.  Now, both the dryness and pimples are gone!  As it turns out, what my skin needed most was a balanced skin care routine for dry skin.  Actually, it was put to the test by wind, cold, and frost during my winter vacation in the mountains.  So, stay with me to learn about my high altitude-proof best skin care for dry skin.

What Can Help With Very Dry Skin? 

Before we talk about a skin care routine for dry skin, let us discuss the ingredients that, reportedly, work best for dry skin.

According to this study on the role of moisturizers in treating dermatitis, the following groups of ingredients are beneficial for dry skin: emollients, humectants, and occlusives.  See what they do for the skin and what specific ingredients they include.

Group	Function	Individual ingredients
Emollients	Improve skin barrier function, membrane fluidity, and cell signaling.	Ceramides, cocoa butter, jojoba oil, shea butter, fatty acids (e.g., stearic, linoleic, oleic acids)
Humectants	Attract water into the outer layer of the skin (epidermis).	Hyaluronic acid, lactic acid, honey, panthenol, glycerin, gelatin, sorbitol
Occlusives	Block water evaporation from the skin.	Oils, waxes

Given their functions, the best skin care for dry skin seems to use a combination of ingredients from each group.  Remember to apply humectants (hyaluronic acid) and occlusives (oils) onto damp skin to trap moisture.  By the way, one of the acknowledged occlusives is dimethicone.

Some other occlusives are mineral oil and petroleum jelly that are common in conventional dry skin care products.  Personally, I do not use products with these ingredients because, being petroleum-based, they may have petroleum contaminants.

For instance, some of these contaminants may include carcinogenic and endocrine disrupting benzo[a]pyrene, carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and thyroid-disrupting and allergenic resorcinol.

Should I Worry About Acid In My Facial Product?

I believe the main reason for the worry is a misconception that all acids can irritate the skin.  To prevent missing out on the benefits of acids in your skin care routine for dry skin, let’s get to the bottom of it.

To start with, when a substance is acidic, it means it has a low pH (on a scale of 0 to 14 with 7 being neutral).  

For reference, water pH is 7, apple cider vinegar pH is 2, and natural human skin pH is around 4.7.  The latter can be affected, though, by cosmetic products, tap water, and climate.  According to this study, pH below 5.0 is better for the skin than pH above 5.0 because it is beneficial for the resident bacterial flora.

Further, the lactic and hyaluronic acids that I consider highly appropriate for the best skin care for dry skin have pH values of 3.5 and 5.0-8.0, respectively.

As for me, I am not worried about these acids in my facial products and welcome their benefits.

Thus, hyaluronic acid helps skin cells retain moisture if you apply it onto damp skin.  And lactic acid stimulates ceramide synthesis in the epidermis, promoting a superior skin lipid barrier and dry skin resistance.

If there is fatty acid in your product, like stearic acid, it accelerates skin barrier repair and development and improves skin hydration (source).

What Is Best Skin Care Routine For Dry Skin?

For starters, the problem of dry skin is that it does not seem to be able to retain moisture.  Consequently, it feels very tight and thirsty.  Therefore, it is important to adopt a wholesome approach to choosing the best skin care for dry skin to fix the skin’s protective barrier. 

First, consider following some of the American Academy of Dermatology Association’s advice on how to soothe dry skin.  In fact, one of the things they mention is selecting the right laundry detergent.

Second, make sure you hydrate yourself regularly with clean filtered water.

Third, stay consistent with the basic daily skin care routine for dry skin.  In my opinion, the basic steps include:

• cleansing
• exfoliating (not daily, though)
• toning, and
• moisturizing.

Read on to see my recommendations for the best skin care for dry skin that I consider safe and effective.

How To Choose The Right Facial Cleanser 

To begin, there are four types of cleansers: 

• foaming soap-based cleansers,
• foaming soap-free cleansers,
• non-foaming crème cleansers, and
• cleansing oils.

I used to think that foaming soap-based and soap-free cleansers were not the best choices for a skin care routine for dry skin.  The reason for that was the apprehension that they might strip the little oil that dry skin produces naturally.  While it may still be true, we must really look at the whole product’s formulation.  For instance, when I still had dry skin, I started using Crunchi Gentle Facial Bar ($10 off 1^st purchase).  My skin never felt dry with this bar because it contains shea butter and moisturizing oils, including argan oil and jojoba oil, which prevent the skin from drying.

Besides, your choices for the best skin care for dry skin will depend on the level of your skin’s dryness and personal preference.  Thus, I prefer face washes that lather, but you may prefer non-foaming crème cleansers and cleansing oils, which is fine!

Normally, non-foaming crème cleansers are mild and non-drying, but they do not remove makeup that well.  If you need to remove makeup, cleansing oils work better than non-foaming crème cleansers.  They cleanse just as well and replenish the little oil they might be stripped away.  Afterward, your skin will feel clean and soft, not tight at all, which makes cleansing oils great for a skin care routine for dry skin.

Important: Do not wash your face with hot water!

How To Pick The Right Facial Exfoliator 

What is the gentlest way to exfoliate skin as part of a skin care routine for dry skin? 

First off, skin exfoliation is very important because it promotes cell turnover.  It helps your toner and moisturizer work more efficiently and gives your complexion a radiant glow.

The best skin care for dry skin does not involve apricot pits, raspberry seeds or sugar scrubs.  Rather, it involves gentler exfoliators, such as glycolic acid and lactic acid.  Specifically, they effortlessly dissolve the bonds that hold dead skin cells together.  As a result, with dead cells gone, dry patches disappear, and your skin acquires smoothness and radiance.

Another exfoliating ingredient that works gentler on your skin than conventional scrubs is pumice powder (aka volcanic ash).  As you may know, it forms during volcanic eruptions.

Yet another exfoliating ingredient is candelilla wax beads considered even gentler than pumice powder.  Reportedly, they are not abrasive to the skin, and when massaged onto the skin, they gradually dissolve.

Although my first choice would be a product with glycolic and lactic acids, I will give you several options to pick from.  Indeed, we are all different and have different skin and preferences.

For the best skin care for dry skin, follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding the frequency of exfoliation.  Also, it is a good idea to do a patch test first.  Do not use if irritation occurs!

Exfoliator Options For A Skin Care Routine For Dry Skin

Pure Haven Exfoliator with Pre+Probiotics	– creamy  – uses candelilla wax scrubbing beads  – contains lots of botanical extracts and some organic oils  – scented with essential oils  – plastic tube

How To Pick The Right Facial Toner 

On the one hand, including a toner in the best skin care for dry skin is optional. 

To clarify, a toner acts to restore the pH balance of your skin after a cleanser.  Hence, whether your skin pH balance needs to be restored depends on the cleanser you use.  Normally, crème cleansers and cleansing oils do not require a toner to bring the skin back to its normal pH.  Being acidic (vs. alkaline), these types of cleansers should not disturb your skin’s natural acid mantle. 

On the other hand, you might need a toner in your skin care routine for dry skin for several reasons.

First, if you use oil as your main moisturizing product, a toner provides moisture that the oil seals in. 

Second, if there is irritation or blemishes on your skin, a toner with anti-inflammatory herbs can help soothe it.

Third, a toner removes any residue of makeup left after cleansing and helps the skin absorb serum or moisturizer better.  

I used to think that astringent ingredients, such as witch hazel and alcohol, are too drying for dry skin.  Now I believe it is important to look at a product’s entire formulation rather than individual ingredients. 

For instance, Crunchi Clarilight Facial Essence ($10 off 1^st purchase) contains witch hazel.  But it also contains organic aloe vera leaf juice, glycerin, and sodium hyaluronate that, in my opinion, offset its potential astringent effect.  Indeed, I use this toner in my skin care routine for dry skin, and it is not drying at all!

How To Pick The Right Moisturizer For A Skin Care Routine For Dry Skin 

What is a moisturizer?  Simply put, it is a product that helps moisten your skin.

In my opinion, a moisturizer for the best skin care for dry skin should contain hyaluronic acid because it retains water very well.  Make sure to apply the hyaluronic acid on damp skin, though.

According to this study on moisturizers, the following groups of ingredients are used in moisturizers to do the hydrating and moisturizing jobs: emollients, humectants, and occlusives. 

First, emollients consist of lipids and enhance skin hydration, smoothness, softness, and flexibility.  Some examples are ceramides, cocoa butter, jojoba oil, shea butter, fatty acids (e.g., stearic, linoleic, oleic acids).

Second, humectants consist of hygroscopic substances that help the epidermis absorb water from both the dermis and a humid environment.  Some examples are hyaluronic acid, lactic acid, honey, panthenol, glycerin, gelatin, and sorbitol.

Third, occlusives are mostly oil-based and help the skin retain water by creating a hydrophobic barrier over the skin.  Examples are oils and waxes (should be applied on damp skin!). 

In my daily moisturizing skin care routine for dry skin, I use a serum before a moisturizer because it helps the moisturizer work more effectively. 

My current favorites are Crunchi Goldenlight Multi-Peptide Serum and Crunchi Daylight Facial Cream ($10 off 1^st purchase). I have studied every ingredient in all Crunchi products and stand by their quality.  But, of course, I will give you other options to help you create your best skin care for dry skin.

First, cleanse with a mild cleanser that does not disrupt the outer skin layer, such as Blissoma Mild Rice Cleanser, Crunchi Gentle Facial Soap Bar ($10 off on the first order of $50+) or Primally Pure Cleansing Oil (READLABELS10 for 10% off).

What Is The Best Skin Care Routine For Dry Skin? 

Generally speaking, the best skin care for dry skin is the one that works for you.  Everyone is different and what works for one person might not work for another. 

In my case, I have created a certain regimen that has proven effective for me. 

First, I wash my face with Crunchi Gentle Facial Soap Bar that is not drying to me at all ($10 off on the first order of $50+).  Its moisturizing ingredients, such as oatmeal and organic jojoba oil, argan oil, and shea butter, make my skin feel clean and hydrated.

Second, once or twice a week, I exfoliate my skin with Crunchi I AM Polished™ Facial Exfoliator.  It uses glycolic, lactic, and fruit acids as well as volcanic ash powder for gentle exfoliation.

Third, I tone my skin with Crunchi Clarilight Facial Essence that also helps me remove the residue of makeup left after cleansing.  The essence contains sodium hyaluronate, which makes it gentle and hydrating.

Then, I apply Crunchi Goldenlight Multi-Peptide Serum, which is very absorbing and helps my moisturizer to work more effectively.  It has hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid and no essential oils. 

Next, I seal in hydration with Crunchi Daylight Cream.  Both contain sodium hyaluronate.

Finally, I use Crunchi Powerlight™ Eye Cream with hyaluronic acid and tripeptide-38 ($10 off on the first order of $50+).

These steps and products constitute the best skin care for dry skin for me.

How To Use Daily Skin Care Routine For Dry Skin?

Cleanse your face, exfoliate (but not more than twice a week), tone, and moisturize.  Importantly, when you apply your serum, facial oil, or moisturizer, be sure to apply them on damp skin.

What Can Help With Very Dry Skin? 

According to dermatologists, emollients (butters, oils), humectants (some acids), and occlusives (oils, waxes) can help with very dry skin. 

An example of a humectant is hyaluronic acid.  I believe it is one of the best ingredients for dry skin.  It attracts water into the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) and can hold up to 1,000x its molecular weight in water. 

Therefore, for the best skin care for dry skin I would specifically recommend products with hyaluronic acid.  Some examples are NYR Sensitive Comfort + Hydrate Micellar Cleanser, Beauty by Earth Hyaluronic Acid Toner & Facial Mist (IREAD12 for 12% off), Crunchi Clarilight Facial Essence ($10 off on the first order of $50+), Annmarie Citrus Stem Cell Serum, Pure Haven Hyaluronic Acid, Crunchi Daylight Cream ($10 off on the first order of $50+).  For more options for products containing hyaluronic acid, please see the tables in the post above.

Is There Any Skin Care Routine For Dry Skin And Pimples?

Yes!  The key is to use hydrating non-greasy non-comedogenic products.  Choose serums and moisturizers with hyaluronic acid instead of facial oils.

What Is The Best Weekly Skin Care Routine For Dry Skin?

In addition to your daily steps of cleansing, toning, and moisturizing, use an exfoliator once a week.  

It is important that in your best skin care for dry skin you use an exfoliator with gentle ingredients that will not scratch your skin.  In my opinion, the gentlest exfoliator in the market today is Crunchi I AM Polished™ Facial Exfoliator ($10 off on the first order of $50+). 

Indeed, it uses glycolic, lactic, and fruit acids that gently dissolve the bond between the dead cells and the skin.  It also uses pumice powder (aka volcanic ash) for gentle exfoliation.  After I use it, I feel like I have visited an expensive spa.

What’s An Affordable Skin Care Routine For Dry Skin In 40+? 

For 40+, I highly recommend using hydrating skincare with collagen-stimulating peptides, such Crunchi Powerlight™ Eye Cream, and Crunchi Goldenlight Multi-Peptide Serum ($10 off on the first order of $50+).

Normally, toxin-free skincare products with peptides are more expensive because peptides themselves are expensive.  While I completely understand your desire to save money, I believe having beautiful and healthy skin is worth the investment.

To help with the cost, Crunchi has an Insider rewards program where you get 10% back on every purchase.  In addition, you can take advantage of the Crunchi referral program, where you can give $10 off (on purchases of $50+) to your friends and get $10 off your next purchase.  If you have many friends, you can get lots of free products!

What Is The Best Skin Care Routine For Partially Oily And Partially Dry Skin? 

Just as with the best skin care for dry skin, partially oily and partially dry skin routine should include hyaluronic acid.  It is the key ingredient because it works great for both oily and dry skin.  Know that it is possible to have oily skin that lacks hydration.

What Is The Best Skin Care Regimen For Dry, Sensitive Skin? 

For skin care routine for dry skin and sensitive skin, I would go for products without essential oils.  While essential oils have beneficial and healing properties, some people can be sensitive to them.  Please see the tables above where I indicated which products have essential oils, and which ones do not.

What Is The Best Winter Skin Care Routine For Dry And Itchy Skin? 

It is important to understand that itchy skin can be a sign of irritation and allergic reaction to the product you are using.  So be sure to use non-toxic skincare products for dry skin.  

Ideally, the best skin care for dry skin in winter should stay the same as throughout the year: cleansing, toning, and moisturizing.  You can add exfoliation to your skin care routine for dry skin on a weekly basis.

What Should Be The Complete Skin Care Routine For Dry Skin Above The Age Of 35+? What Products Should I Use? 

For any age, including 35+, I recommend using hydrating skincare with collagen-stimulating peptides.  Some examples are Crunchi Powerlight™ Eye Cream, and Crunchi Goldenlight Multi-Peptide Serum ($10 off on the first order of $50+).

The good news is that Crunchi has created an Insider rewards program to help you with the cost.  Specifically, you get 10% back on every purchase.  Plus, you can benefit from Crunchi’s referral program by giving $10 off (on purchases of $50+) to your friends and getting $10 off your next purchase.  The more friends you refer to Crunchi, the more chances you have to get free products!

Personally, I use Crunchi skin care products, and they have proven to be the best skin care for dry skin for me.

What Is The Best Skin Care Routine For Dry Dull Texture Skin That Has Fine Lines And Clogged Pores? 

While in a skin care routine for dry skin it is okay to use facial oils, it is different for dry skin with clogged pores.  Thus, I would suggest staying away from facial oils and using an exfoliator once a week.

My favorite exfoliator is Crunchi I AM Polished™ Facial Exfoliator ($10 off on the first order of $50+).  It uses gentle ingredients, such as glycolic, lactic, and fruit acids, that do not scratch your skin.  They work by gently dissolving the bond between the dead cells and the skin.  Another gentle exfoliating ingredient is pumice powder (aka volcanic ash).  My skin always feels and looks amazing after I use this exfoliator according to the instructions.
