My Everyday Routine for Saving Dry, Flaky Skin 💧✨

Bishakha Acharya

If you have genuinely dry skin, you already know that most products just sit on top of flaky patches without actually fixing the problem. When your skin barrier is dry or irritated, your makeup clings to texture and your face feels tight by lunchtime...

Cleansers that won't leave your face feeling tight

The hydrating layers my skin completely drinks up

Thick, comforting moisturizers to lock it all in

Cleansers that won't leave your face feeling tight

My absolute holy grail for winter or whenever my skin barrier is completely compromised. I massage it in and wipe it off with a damp cotton pad. It completely calms down redness and leaves a moisturized base.

Gentle Milk Cleanser, No-Rinse for Dry Skin

The texture of this is beautiful. It easily removes waterproof mascara and SPF without having to scrub at your skin. You can wash it off completely clean with warm water, and does not even feel greasy

Melting Cleansing Balm

I bought this on a whim because my face gets so dry and flaky during seasonal changes that every other cleanser was literally making my skin sting. I use it with a warm washcloth, and my skin feels like a baby's. It honestly feels like a mini spa tre...

Radiant Cleansing Balm

I really missed the feeling of a traditional liquid cleanser, but every gel I tried turned my face into sandpaper. This is the only one I've found that gives you that fresh, water-splashed clean feeling without triggering that horrible, stripped dryn...

Ultra Facial Cleanser - Kiehl's

I'm usually terrified of gel cleansers, but this became my go-to for summer mornings. When it gets warm out, my skin gets a bit congested, but scrubs are way too harsh for my dry patches. This handles all that texture around my nose perfectly without...

Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser

The hydrating layers my skin completely drinks up

Lightweight, watery serums that sink deep into the skin to plump things up and delete flakiness before you even put on cream.

I had this awful flakiness right around my mouth that made every single foundation look patchy and cakey, no matter how much moisturizer I used. After patting this milky serum into my skin for about a week, those flakes started vanishing. My skin fin...

Rice Ceramide 7 Hydrating Barrier Serum

I love putting this on right before a long flight or a long day out because it keeps my skin from feeling parched later in the day.

Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Serum with Peptides | LANEIGE

This is my favorite thing to use when my skin looks incredibly dull from lack of sleep. It gives a cooling rush of hydration that wakes your face right up and flattens out those tight dehydration lines across the forehead.

Botanic Pretti5 - Advanced Hyaluronic Serum

Thick, comforting moisturizers to lock it all in

The heavy hitters. These are the rich, buttery creams that seal in your serums and keep your skin glowing and plump all day.

I recommend this to everyone. It has tiny beads in it that melt away as you rub it in. I used to wake up every morning with dry, tight skin, but since using this at night, I wake up with normal skin. It completely cured my chronic winter flakiness.

AESTURA - Ato Barrier 365 Cream

My favorite daytime moisturizer. Every other heavy cream I tried made my foundation slip and slide or pill into little balls by midday. This one moisturizes perfectly but dries down to a normal finish that works well right under makeup.

Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer - La Roche-Posay

This is the emergency tub I pull out whenever the weather gets freezing and windy. It has a thick consistency that instantly stops that raw, wind-burned feeling on my cheeks. It basically acts like a protective blanket until the skin heals.

Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration - First Aid Beauty
