The key to tackling stubborn dry skin is consistency!
For when you’ve been going a littttle too heavy on the tretinoin!
Cicaplast Balm B5 for Dry Skin Irritations
Sister brand to La Roche Posay. Similar to the Cicaplast B5 line of products. I like to use these interchangeable, whatever I have on hand!
Avene Cicalfate + Restorative Protective Skin Barrier Face Cream for Sensitive Skin - 1.3 fl oz
When that extra glow is needed! Great base for makeup
Multi-Quench Polyglutamic Acid Serum
I know the price point is high for Tatcha, but it is truly a luxurious feel and keeps my face GLOWING!
If I am down BAD, I will slug my face every night with aquaphor!
Aquaphor Healing Ointment Skin Protectant and Moisturizer for Dry and Cracked Skin Unscented - 1.75oz
You can use this on face AND body! I always keep a moisturizing CREAM on hand!
CeraVe Moisturizing Face & Body Cream with Pump for Normal to Dry Skin - 16 fl oz
It's important to make sure your face wash isn't letting your skin feel too stripped! This is a very gently wash.
CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Face Wash with Hyaluronic Acid for Normal to Dry Skin - 16 fl oz
One recommendation that I just learned while rotating at a dermatologists office was to use an Ultrasonic Humidifier at night time. Especially during the winter!
Remember: Creams will be thicker and heavier than lotions! It's can't stress how important it is to moisturize directly after the shower!
Fun Fact: In every single product, there is thermal spring water sourced directly from a small town in France!
Lipikar Face and Body Care for Dry Skin
This product is meant to be used in tandem with the Lipikar body lotion! Per the clinical trials, it has shown faster and better results when used together.
La Roche Posay Lipikar AP+ Gentle Foaming Cleansing Oil - Unscented - 13.52 fl oz
Seems counterintuitive to recommend an exfoliant for dry skin right? This is one of the most recommended products in the derm office for rough and dry skin! It gently exfoliates the dead skin and allows your skin to renew its barrier quicker!
AmLactin Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion Bottle with Pump - 14.1oz
Sol de Janeiro is always a hit for me! Their body butters apply so smoothly to the skin. It helps that this new scent is AMAZING
Delícia Drench™ Deeply Moisturizing Body Butter for Dry Skin - Sol de Janeiro | Sephora
Necessaire brand is always a hit for me. I like to apply body oil AFTER lotion to ensure that the moisture stays locked in
