Mild cleaning products
Use mild, moisturizing cleansing products that don't dry out the skin. Avoid products that are heavily scented or contain alcohol, as they can further irritate the skin.
Use good moisturizers
Immediately after cleansing, apply a rich moisturizer to lock in moisture. Choose a cream with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, beta-glucan, glycerin or ceramides that bind moisture and strengthen the skin barrier.
Use lukewarm water
Avoid using water that is too hot when washing your face or showering, as it can strip the skin's natural oils. Instead, use lukewarm water and limit shower time.
scrubs
Exfoliate your skin regularly to remove dead skin cells and improve moisture absorption. However, use gentle scrubs to avoid irritating the skin.
Avoid alcohol in skincare
Avoid overusing toner products that contain alcohol, as they can dry out the skin. Instead, you can rely on alcohol-free, moisturizing tonics or facial sprays. The K-Beauty world offers you a lot of that!
Stay hydrated!
Drink enough water to hydrate the skin from the inside out. A balanced diet with lots of fruit and vegetables can also help to provide the skin with important nutrients.
Use face masks and oils
Use a rich facial mask or facial oil regularly to add extra moisture to the skin. Make sure to look for ingredients like jojoba oil, shea butter, or avocado oil that are extra moisturizing.
Be gentle on the skin
Avoid excessive rubbing or scratching of the skin as this can further irritate it. Be gentle when grooming and use soft towels or gently pat skin dry, do not rub!
air humidification
If you have the means, use a humidifier in your home to increase humidity and relieve dry skin.
