How to get rid of Dry Skin
I get it: Dry skin sucks, and it can be hard to find a solution. But you're in luck! This guide will help you find out what's going on with your skin, why it's dry, and how to fix it.
Beauty sleep
A good night's sleep is important for your skin. Don't forget to moisturize before you go to bed and cleanse your face before you go to bed. Also, don't forget to remove your makeup before going to bed!
Exfoliate
Exfoliating is a great way to get rid of dry skin.
There are lots of ways to exfoliate your skin, including:
-
Using a body scrub, loofah or sponge
-
Using a washcloth with warm water and soap
If you're not sure which method is best for you, talk to your doctor about what kind of exfoliation would work best for your skin type.
Moisturize
Moisturizing is one of the most important things you can do for your skin. It will keep it hydrated, reduce inflammation, and help to smooth out fine lines.
Moisturizers can be used as often as necessary—every day if dryness is an issue for you. If you have sensitive skin, make sure to choose a moisturizer with ingredients like aloe vera or shea butter that are soothing on irritated skin.
You can apply moisturizer all over your body (not just your face!) as well as directly onto specific areas like hands and feet where dryness tends to be more pronounced.
Pat on a hyaluronic-acid serum
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the skin. We’re talking about the same stuff that holds up to 1000 times its weight in water, keeping our skin looking plump and hydrated. It works by attracting moisture from the air and locking it into place, which can help prevent dryness and flaking on its own. But if you want to see results even faster, try slapping on a hyaluronic-acid serum—these products are your best bet for getting rid of dryness fast.
The best part? You can use these serums on both your face and body (yay!). If you're experiencing flaky patches anywhere besides your face, though, don't be afraid to give those areas some extra attention with this magical potion too! Try our Intense Hydrating Serum here
Cleanse and moisturize twice a day
-
Cleansing and moisturizing is the most important step in any skincare routine, but it's especially important for people with dry skin. You should cleanse and moisturize twice a day. If you only cleanse your face once a day, you're missing out on an opportunity to keep your skin hydrated and looking younger.
- In order to ensure that you're using the right products, choose products that will hydrate your skin while still cleaning away dirt and impurities. Look for products that contain hyaluronic acid or other essential oils; these ingredients are especially good at retaining moisture in the epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin).
Use a humidifier
The idea of humidifiers is, of course, to make your room a little more moist. The moisture can help keep your skin hydrated and can even help with congestion. For those who suffer from seasonal allergies or colds during the winter months, a humidifier is especially helpful for clearing up congestion and making it easier to breathe. If you want to treat your dry skin in particular, using a humidifier at night could also be helpful in keeping your skin moisturized while you sleep!

You can hydrate by using the right products.
You can hydrate by using the right products, which is the first step to healthy skin. As a general rule of thumb, you want to avoid products that are too greasy or heavy. If your skin feels tight after applying it and then gets even drier within minutes, that’s a sign you might be using too much oil or butter. You should also be looking for lotions made with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin—they will help draw moisture into your skin without making it feel oily or slippery.
The best products will use natural ingredients like vitamin-C as well as peptides that communicate with other parts of your body to signal new cell growth (this will also make your wrinkles less noticeable). Try mixing this approach with one we mentioned earlier: an antioxidant-rich serum combined with SPF 30 sunscreen on top!
Conclusion
There you have it! If you want to banish dry skin for good, these steps will get you there. Beauty sleep and exfoliation are both important to keep your complexion smooth and moisturized—and they’re easy enough to fit into any routine. And while hydration is key, don’t forget that cleansing and moisturizing twice a day will also help keep your skin hydrated so you look radiant all year round.
