Dry skin produces less oil than it needs, so its protective barrier struggles to hold on to moisture. It can feel tight after cleansing, look dull or flaky, and react to wind, central heating and hot showers. Dehydrated skin is slightly different: it lacks water rather than oil, and any skin type can have it.
Cleanse gently with lukewarm water, apply a hydrating serum to damp skin, then seal it in with a richer moisturiser. A few drops of facial oil at night can help in colder months. Environ's Moisture+ Vita-Complex Super Moisturiser and Skin EssentiA AVST range are popular here.
If your skin is cracked, bleeding or very itchy, or simply doesn't improve, see a pharmacist or GP, as it may need more than skincare.
