GO EASY ON CLEANING

Wash your face at least once daily.  If you find your skin dry and tight after washing 
don't wash multiple times a day.

TRY A THICKER MOISTURIZER

If that doesn't help also try changing your serums to cream versions.  You may also want to keep something like vaseline or Aquaphor to use throughout the day.

USE SUNSCREEN DAILY

This should be part of your daily routine.  I have a moisturizing sunscreen that I use daily. I love it because it does not leave a chalky film 

SCALE BACK ON RETINOL AND EXFOLIATION

If you have extremely dry skin exfoliation will irritate your skin more.

COMBAT DRY INDOOR AIR WITH A HUMIDIFIER

Your heater will dry out the air.  This is not ideal for dry skin.  I suggest a humidifier in your bedroom it will keep your skin happier. 


LIMIT TIME IN THE SHOWER

Long hot showers will dry your skin out.  Make your shower short using lukewarm water.

KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR  HIDDEN IRRITANTS

If your skin is dry and sensitive, please switch to fragrance-free detergent, dyer sheet, and body care products.

BE PATIENT WITH IRRITATED SKIN

Your skin barrier may be broken if you have dry sensitive skin.  It takes 3-4 weeks for this barrier to heal.

Hyperpigmentation is common, especially in melanin-rich skin, but it isn't permanent. As a skincare consultant who works with women just like you, I want you to know this: you can reclaim your GLOW, and I’m going to show you how. 🧠 First, What Is Hyperpigmentation? Hyperpigmentation happens when certain areas of your skin produce too much melanin, the pigment that gives your skin its beautiful color. The result? Dark patches, uneven tone, or leftover marks from breakouts that feel like they’ll never go away. There are a few types: 1. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (like acne scars or bug bites) 2. Melasma (often triggered by hormones or pregnancy) 3. Sunspots (caused by UV exposure over time) When yo...
