π§΄ Skincare Routine for Dry Skin: Hydrate, Nourish, Glow
π§ What Is Dry Skin?
Dry skin produces less natural oil (sebum) than other skin types. This can leave your skin feeling tight, rough, or flaky β especially during colder seasons or after cleansing.
Common signs of dry skin:
- Tightness after washing
- Dull, rough, or flaky texture
- Fine lines more visible
- Redness or sensitivity in dry patches
But with the right routine and ingredients, you can restore your skinβs moisture barrier and bring back softness and glow. π§
