Serums
I have found over time that a serum is almost necessary for my dry skin. The ones I have recommended seep right into my pores and keep my skin hydrated for hours.
Makes my skin feel firm and so deeply hydrated. I use this as my first step in the morning before I put on any other skin care or makeup
Smart Response 4-in-1 Face Serum
This is another serum I like and if the dermalogica one isn’t available or affordable, this is a fantastic alternative. It is high performing, multitasking and tightens the skin really effectively
The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum
This serum continues to keep my skin hydrated throughout the day. I also notice my skin looks brighter after using this.
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 with Ceramides
Moisturisers
There is nothing like a good moisturiser and when you find one that works for you, it is transformative for your skin!
I find, for my dry skin this moisturiser is perfect. It absorbs quickly and is lightweight
Minimalist Marula Oil 5% Face Moisturizer
While I use the Minimalist moisturiser in the morning, this is what I use at night before bed. With dry skin the only way I feel hydrated is with an overnight cream like this one from La Roche.
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+ Repair Moisturizer ...
This is a good alternative to the Minimalist moisturiser I recommended earlier. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave me feeling greasy.
Barrier Plus Peptide Ceramide Moisturizer
I use this when I’m travelling because it functions as a moisturiser, primer and face mask. This makes being on-the-go easier.

Sunscreens
Sunscreen is, without a doubt, critical to healthy skin. Not only does UV exposure make your skin dull, it also increases the risk of cancer. No. 1 advice, be religious with your sunscreen.
Spf is the absolute most important step in skincare. This one is perfect for sensitive dry skin.
Fixderma Shadow SPF 50+ Moisturizing Sunscreen Cream
Another great sunscreen for dry skin, this one is lightweight with absolutely no stickiness.

Post-Makeup
Getting any and all makeup and residue off your face ensures your skin is clean and can breathe.
I still find that Micellar water is the most effective at removing makeup without leaving residue on the skin or causing irritation.
Micellar Water for Makeup Removal & Gentle Cleansing
I use this as step 1 in my double cleansing routine to get rid of any stubborn makeup.
Marula Oil 05% Cleansing Oil
This is a soothing cleanser that cause almost no friction to the skin and is effective at removing residue from the skin.
B12 + Oat Extract 6.5% Gentle Cleanser
Gua Sha
Gua sha in the morning reduces puffiness and increases circulation to the face. I use my Gua Sha after my serum but before my moisturiser
If you struggle with puffiness in the morning, a guasha can be helpful to de-puff.
The Jade Gua Sha Facial Lifting Tool
A slip oil will always make using a guasha more effective. This one is effective for all skin types.
Best Facial Oils for All Skin Types
Provides good slip under the gua sha and absorbs quickly. It’s also lightweight and the tools glides very smoothly
100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil
Face Masks
I use a face mask thrice a week for additional hydration and increased akin barrier protection. Face masks like these are also very soothing to the skin.
Instead of clay masks that can pull oil from the skin, I prefer gel or cream based masks that can hydrate the skin. This is the best of both worlds as it is a cream and gel hybrid.
Bouncy & Firm Sleeping Mask Visibly Plump & Firm - Laneige
This is very soothing and perfect for sensitive skin. Leave it overnight and by morning it will turn clear, then it can be peeled off.
Hydro Cera-nol Real Deep Mask
This one is very quick. Apply it, leave it on for 15 mins and wash it off.

Lip Care
Taking care of your lips is as important as taking care of your skin. That’s why I have also added two of my favourite lip care products in this list!
I have hyperpigmentation on my upper lip so I use this once in the morning before using any other products on my lips.
L-Ascorbic Acid 8% Lip Treatment Balm
Taking care of your lips is an important aspect of skincare and Vaseline is a classic choice. Its hydrating and keeps the lips looking plump.
Vaseline® Lip Therapy® Original Mini
This is a popular product for a reason. Put it on at night and in the morning you will have the softest, most plump lips
Lip Sleeping Mask Nourish & Hydrate
Using spf on the lips is as important as using spf anywhere else on the body. This is a small lip balm stick so it’s easy to carry with you and reapply throughout the day.
