Why Does Skin Get Dry?
Dry skin affects millions worldwide, regardless of climate or season. Whether you're dealing with harsh winter weather, air conditioning, or naturally dry skin, the solution lies in understanding what your skin truly needs—and choosing the right natural remedies.
Dermatologists agree that the key to fixing dry skin isn't just about adding moisture; it's about restoring your skin's natural barrier and locking in hydration with the right ingredients.
7 Natural Remedies Dermatologists Recommend for Dry Skin
1. Use Organic Body Oils Daily
Body oils are one of the most effective natural treatments for dry skin. Unlike lotions that contain water and evaporate quickly, pure oils create a protective barrier that seals in moisture for hours.
Dermatologists recommend applying oil to slightly damp skin after showering to lock in maximum hydration. Look for organic, vegan formulations with natural fragrances that won't irritate sensitive skin. Our BODY AND MASSAGE OIL comes in 11 organic fragrances and provides deep, lasting moisture without synthetic additives.
2. Layer Vitamin C Serum for Face Hydration
For facial dryness, vitamin C serums do double duty—they hydrate while brightening and protecting skin from environmental damage. The key is choosing a serum with hyaluronic acid, which holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water.
Apply a few drops of 20% Vitamin C Face Serum with Hyaluronic Acid before your moisturizer. This creates a hydration sandwich that keeps skin plump and dewy all day.
3. Choose the Right Face Cream for Your Skin Type
Not all moisturizers are created equal. For dry skin, dermatologists recommend rich, collagen-boosting formulas that provide both immediate and long-term hydration.
Day and night creams like our Platinum Collagen Face Cream work to firm, hydrate, and smooth skin while you sleep and throughout the day. For extra brightening benefits, try the 15% Vitamin C Brightening Face Cream to tackle dry patches and dark spots simultaneously.
4. Exfoliate Gently to Remove Dead Skin
Dry, flaky skin can't absorb moisture properly. Gentle exfoliation 2-3 times per week removes dead skin cells and allows your serums and oils to penetrate deeper.
Choose a gentle facial scrub with aloe vera and hyaluronic acid that exfoliates without stripping your skin's natural oils. For body exfoliation, an organic exfoliating body scrub brightens and hydrates while buffing away dryness.
5. Apply Nourishing Body Lotion After Every Shower
The golden rule: never let your skin air-dry after bathing. Pat skin slightly damp and immediately apply a rich body lotion to trap moisture.
Our Nourishing Organic Body Lotion is formulated with vegan ingredients and comes in 11 natural fragrances, making post-shower hydration a spa-like ritual.
6. Use Weekly Hydrating Face Masks
Weekly masking treatments give your skin an intensive hydration boost. Dermatologists recommend alternating between brightening masks and detoxifying clay masks to balance moisture and clarity.
Try the Deep Glow Brightening Face Mask for radiance-boosting hydration, or the Platinum Lux Phantom Mud Mask for anti-aging benefits while you relax.
7. Create a Spa Ritual with Mineral-Rich Bath Soaks
Bathing in mineral-rich salts doesn't just relax your mind—it replenishes your skin with essential minerals that support hydration and healing.
Add Detox Bath Salt with Lemongrass & Lavender to your weekly routine, or explore our Luxury Dead Sea Spa Gift Set for a complete at-home spa experience that deeply nourishes dry skin.
