Ingredients that work on dry skin (and which ones to avoid)

Seeks:

• Hyaluronic acid (attracts and retains water)
• Ceramides (repair the lipid barrier)
• Squalane (moisturizes without making the skin greasy)
• Vegetable oils (rosehip, jojoba, argan)
• Butters (shea, cocoa)
• Glycerin (classic and effective humectant)

Avoid:

• Alcohol denat (dry)
• Sulfates in cleaners (too aggressive)
• Synthetic fragrances (may cause irritation)
• Retinol in high concentrations without supervision (can cause further drying)
• Excessive AHAs and BHAs
