Frequently Asked Questions

What is dry skin?

Dry skin is a skin type characterised by a natural lack of moisture and oils. Due to this, it typically tends to display signs of dehydration, appears to have smaller pores, and is more prone to fine lines and wrinkles.

Why is my skin type dry?

You are born with your skin type! However, as you age your skin type can change to become more dry, as the hormonal changes cause a lack of oils and moisture. 

What type of cleanser is best for dry skin type?

To prevent loss of moisture, we recommend opting for an oil cleanser to balance and replenish natural oils, following an extra-gentle, low-pH water cleanser. The low pH ensures the skin is not stripped of moisture or beneficial bacteria that live on the skin.

What type of moisturiser is best for dry skin type?

As dry skin lacks hydration and struggles to keep moisture in, it is best to opt for a thicker, richer cream with emollients and humectants that will trap moisture, as well as Ceramides that strengthen the skin barrier and lock in natural moisture.
