We all desire glowing skin, reflecting our inner beauty and health, enabling us to radiate confidence and make favourable impressions. However, the harsh climatic conditions coupled with dust and pollution can make the most luminous skin textures dry and dull. I too have had my share of struggles to keep my dry skin look healthy. Nevertheless, with time I have put together a regime that makes my skin feel supple and dewy. So with no further adieu, let me share my daily skincare routine for dry skin.
For dry skin select products that will deeply hydrate your skin, making it feel soft, smooth and beautifully balanced. Let us take a look at a simple yet effective morning skincare routine that will help you combat dryness.
Step 1: Cleansing: Choose a mild natural face cleanser that will remove impurities without drying out your skin. Avoid products with strong fragrances or harsh chemicals.
Step 2: Toner: Evenly apply toner on your face and neck area. Choose hydrating face toners with ingredients such as aloe vera or rose water.
Step 3: Serum: Use a pump or dropper to apply serum on your face, followed by gently pressing it with your fingertips. Avoid messaging or rubbing it. Choose serums with ingredients such as ceramides, glycerine, Vitamin C and E as they provide intense hydration.
Step 4: Moisturize: Apply an even layer of moisturizer to your face and neck area. Choose products that are rich in moringa seed oil, jojoba oil or shea butter.
Step 5: Sunscreen: Applying a layer of sunscreen is the final step of any robust morning dry skincare routine, no matter if you are indoors or outdoors. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen of 30 SPF or above.
Step 6: Lip balm: Apply a thin layer of lip balm, to lock in the moisture and avoid dryness or scaling of lips.
Well, there you have it, this is my best skincare for dry skin. The next step is to apply light and subtle makeup and I am ready to conquer the day with confidence.
By the time it is night, my skin has gone through a lot and deserves some TLC (Tender loving care). So, let me share my night skincare routine that focuses on restoring and replenishing my skin’s moisture. So, let us dive right in:
Step 1: Cleansing: Choose a gentle oil-based makeup remover to remove all impurities, followed by thoroughly cleansing your face with a water-based ayurvedic face cleanser.
Step 2: Toner: Gently pat and dampen your skin with a hydrating ayurvedic toner, which helps add moisture to your skin.
Step 3: Serum: Apply a few drops of rosehip hyaluronic serum on your face and gently press it, allowing it to deeply penetrate and moisturize your skin.
Step 4: Eye Cream: Choose a hydrating eye gel and gently apply it to combat dryness, fine lines or dark circles.
Step 5: Moisturize: Now apply a thin layer of rich creamy natural night face cream to seal the moisture, and allow the skin to restore itself overnight for a glowing texture the following morning.
Step 6: Lip balm: Remember to hydrate your lips, apply a thin layer of moisturising lip balm.
There you have it, this is my daily night skincare routine for dry skin. I also exfoliate my skin twice a week and use a hydrating mask once a week. This helps to repair and deeply nourish my dry skin.
Over time I have come to realise the mistakes that I have made, which have left my skin irritable, flaky and dry. Let me list a few of them:
After extensively experimenting with a wide range of skincare brands, I have grown to rely on Sadhev’s products. They are Ayurvedic, made of natural ingredients and have done wonders to restore my dry skin’s lustre and glow. Listing a few of my top picks for you:
Sadhev Natural Lip Balm: made of natural ingredients (beetroot and coconut oil) it deeply moisturises the lips giving it a lovely red tint.
Sadhev Under Eye Gel: Applying this gel regularly has not only helped combat my longstanding dark circles issue but has also been a therapeutic experience. The mild fragrance of rose combined with aloe vera, cucumber Liquorice and safflower have deeply moisturized the skin and reduced puffiness.
The popular 7- Skin method is a Korean technique, which involves applying multiple layers of toner or essential oil to the skin to achieve that dewy look.
Using skin hydrating products, following a consistent skincare routine and adequately hydrating your body will help manage dry skin.
Using Sahdev’s Ayurvedic Hydrating moisturizer, with ingredients such as pumpkin seed oil, grape seed oil, carrot seed oil and other revitalizing natural ingredients will help bring back radiance to dry skin. Moreover, it is equally important to eat a balanced diet and follow a wholesome lifestyle to maintain your skin’s health.
