While the condition of having “dry skin” is straight-forward enough to identify, it is common to misconstrue dehydrated skin as being dry. Therefore, while it is essential for dry skin types to adopt adequate moisturizing measures, providing sufficient hydration to the skin is just as important, and properly moisturizing the skin from inside and out can alleviate symptoms of sensitivity.

Emollients such as refined plant-based oils are great moisturizing options, preventing the loss of moisture in the skin to the surrounding environment. For skin hydration, ingredients such as humectants can help bind water, keeping the skin well-hydrated and supple. For individuals with sensitive-prone skin, select moisturizers that are free of irritants such as alcohol and fragrances. Patch test products upon first use to make sure the product does not trigger sensitivity.

Q&A

With 40% oil-soluble ingredients, will the texture of this product be extremely oily?

No, as the oil-based ingredients used in this formula is lightweight and non-comedogenic, it provides adequate nourishment to dry skin without weighing it down. Furthermore, the ingredients are suspended in a plant cellulose thickening system, buffering ingredients to gradually deliver effective moisturization.

How do I choose a moisturizer that is best suited for my skin?

Choose primarily based on your skin type behavior - namely the oil-to-water ratio of your skin - by choosing formulas that complement your natural condition. For example, if you have oil-prone skin, choose a moisturizer higher in water-based ingredients and lesser in oil-based ingredients to comfortably restore hydrated skin.

If you have dry skin (usually associated with lack of sebum), select a formula with a good amount of emollients to strengthen your barrier protection to prevent moisture loss. Secondarily, consider the skin concerns you have and seek out those with ingredients that address them, and lastly research about non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic formulas that are best free of fragrances, alcohol, and other irritation-prone ingredients.
