These are my must have, dry skin essentials. 🧴I use all of these products every single week, most of them every single day! Dry skin is no joke. Just because something is labeled "for dry skin" does NOT mean it's a one size fits all product. Trust me, I've spent so much money over the years on products that did absolutely nothing for me. But these items... they must travel with everywhere I go! -Some of the links in this list are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you purchase through them — at no extra cost to you.
