Mistakes that worsen dryness without you knowing it

Before building the routine, let's review what you're probably doing wrong.

Use foaming or gel cleaners

The foam cleans, yes, but it also strips your skin of its natural oils. If your face feels tight after washing, your cleanser is too harsh.

Take a shower with very hot water.

Hot water feels good, but it strips the skin of its natural oils. Use lukewarm water, especially for your face.

Exfoliating too much

Dry skin tends to accumulate dead cells on the surface, which can give it a dull appearance. But exfoliating more than once a week only makes things worse.

Skipping moisturizing because "you already put on lotion in the morning"

Your dry skin needs hydration twice a day. It's non-negotiable.

Use products "for all skin types"

Those products are formulated for the lowest common denominator. Your skin needs something more specific.
