The Best Skincare Routine for Dry Skin
16
items My skin gets really dry sometimes, to the point where it can feel itchy and start peeling. I’m always looking for skincare that helps with cleansing, hydration, soothing, and keeping my skin comfortable. I usually rotate my products depending on how ...

Cleanser
Gentle cleansing products I use to remove makeup, sunscreen and daily buildup without leaving my dry skin feeling tight.
Seriously, this is one of the gentlest micellar waters I’ve tried for my dry skin. I’ve tried other brands, but somehow I always end up coming back to this one. It’s lightweight, doesn’t feel sticky, and my skin doesn’t feel dry or tight after wiping...
The Micellar Water I Keep Coming Back To
I didn’t think I’d get this attached to a cleansing balm 😂 It melts my makeup and sunscreen really easily, and I don’t have to rub my skin too hard. My skin feels clean without that tight, squeaky feeling. I also like the oils in it, and the twist-u...
This Cleansing Balm Surprised Me
I reach for this on my normal dry-skin days. It’s one of those cleansers that leaves my skin feeling clean but still comfortable, not tight or dry. I also get tiny bumps and uneven texture, so I really appreciate that it doesn’t make that dryness wor...
CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser
For Days When My Skin Feels Dry
I save this one for the days when my skin is extra dry or feeling sensitive, especially in really hot or cold weather. It feels so gentle and leaves my skin comfortable after washing instead of tight. If your skin gets easily irritated or dried out f...
I Use This When My Skin Feels Extra Dry
Hydration & Treatment
Hydrating and treatment products I reach for when my skin needs extra moisture, smoother texture or a brighter-looking complexion.
I’ve been really liking the Hada Labo Premium Hydrating Lotion before makeup. My foundation just goes on so much smoother with it and doesn’t get as cakey. My favourite part is using it before my brightening sunscreen. The sunscreen on its own can so...
The Hydrating Step That Makes My Makeup Look Better
I use this with The Ordinary Glycolic Acid, and I really like how my skin looks when I’m consistent with them. My skin looks brighter and less dull once the dead skin is gone. This one has niacinamide, alpha-arbutin and vitamin C too, so I like that ...
For When My Skin Looks Dull and Uneven
This is one I have to be a little careful with, but I do like what it does. My skin feels smoother and looks less dull after using it, especially when the texture starts feeling a bit rough. It can sting if my skin isn’t happy that day, so I keep it ...
I Use This When My Skin Looks Dull
This was one of those serums I kept reaching for when my skin was acting up. I liked it for the little bumps, leftover marks and uneven-looking skin. It feels light and comfortable, although I did get a little tingling when I first started using it. ...
This Helped With My Little Bumps
I actually really liked this one before I stopped using it. I was using it for the little bumps, uneven texture and pores, and I noticed my skin felt smoother with it. It can feel a little strong when you’re new to retinal, so I started slowly and di...
I Didn’t Expect This to Work So Well
Moisturizer
Moisturizers that help keep dry skin soft and hydrated.
I’ve been using Dr. Althea 147 Barrier Cream and really like how rich and comforting it feels on my dry skin. It leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth and nicely moisturised, especially when my skin feels rough or dry. The texture is rich but still fee...
The barrier cream with a lightweight feel
I seriously love this one. My skin can get really dry and flaky, and Cicaplast Baume B5+ has worked really well for me. I like applying quite a lot before bed and leaving it overnight. I wake up with softer skin and much less flaking. I also use it b...
The One I Reach for When My Skin Gets Really Dry
Sun Protection
Sunscreens that protect your skin while keeping it comfortable and moisturised
I’ve always been a bit annoyed by sunscreens that feel heavy or make my dry skin look even drier. This one feels so much easier to wear. It’s light, spreads easily and doesn’t leave a white cast, and I actually like the little bit of glow it gives my...
Light, Glowy and No White Cast
This feels more like a moisturiser with SPF than a typical sunscreen. I like how comfortable it feels on my skin, especially on days when I don’t want another heavy layer. It gives me a healthy-looking glow and sits nicely under makeup. Just keep in ...
The SPF I Reach for When I Want Glow
Face Mask
Face masks that give dry skin an extra boost of moisture when it needs it.
I really enjoy using this mask when I want my skin to feel fresh, soft and hydrated. I love keeping it in the fridge and using it on really hot days because the cold gel feels so refreshing. My skin looks plumper and more glowy afterwards. A friend o...
The Mask I Reach for on Hot Days
I didn’t expect an overnight mask to make this much difference. I put a thin layer on before bed, let it dry, then leave it overnight and peel it off in the morning. My skin feels really soft and looks more plump the next day. The only thing is, slee...
Waking Up With Better-Looking Skin
I seriously have to give this one credit for my wedding skin 😂 I used it about 3 times a week for a month leading up to my wedding because I really wanted my skin to look nice on the day. And honestly, I could see the difference. My skin looked smoo...
