The experts from ISDIN are here to share their latest skin care advice.

When it comes to combating dry skin, the main mantra is simple yet crucial: hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Crafting a skin care routine tailored to address dryness involves selecting products that work to both replenish lost moisture and lock in moisture. Follow these steps from the skin science experts at Barcelona-based ISDIN for a nourishing and hydrating skin care routine:

• Gentle and nourishing oil cleanser

• Revitalizing eye cream

• Hydrating serum

• Targeted moisturizer

• Broad-spectrum sunscreen

Step 1: Gentle and nourishing oil cleanser

Selecting the right cleanser is pivotal for parched skin. Harsh cleansers can strip away skin’s natural oils, further impairing its natural defenses and making any irritations worse. What can help? Opt for a gentle cleanser that respects your skin's moisture barrier, such as an oil cleanser. This type of formula is an excellent choice for a deep cleanse without stripping the skin.

Oil attracts oil, making it effective for removing greasy residues, waterproof makeup or sunscreen. Look for oil-cleansing formulas with emollient properties to ensure they maintain the skin's comfort while cleansing. Plus, those featuring ingredients with antioxidant benefits can help to protect your skin from daily stressors.

Step 2: Revitalizing eye cream

The delicate under-eye area is particularly susceptible to environmental stressors, such as UV radiation, temperature fluctuations, stress and pollution. These factors can also compromise the skin barrier. Choose a moisturizing and refreshing eye cream for your routine to hydrate and help defend this sensitive area. Moreover, the eye contour area is prone to fine lines and wrinkles, making targeted hydration and nourishment even more essential.

Step 3: Hydrating serum

Integrate a hydrating serum into both your morning and evening skin care routines to replenish moisture levels and soothe dryness. Serums containing humectants like hyaluronic acid and glycerin are highly effective in attracting and retaining moisture. Hyaluronic acid also helps add plumpness to the skin, counteracting loss of elasticity and promoting a youthful look.

Step 4: Targeted moisturizer

Seal in the moisture with a nourishing moisturizer. This step helps to maximize hydration and fortify the skin's natural moisture barrier. Which formula is the best choice? Reach for a lightweight yet potent formula designed to deeply hydrate and support overall skin health. A moisturizer enriched with hyaluronic acid can help provide long-lasting hydration.

Step 5: Broad-spectrum sunscreen

Regardless of skin type, daily sunscreen application is a must. Sunscreen not only protects the skin from harmful UV rays, but also helps prevent further dehydration and dryness caused by sun exposure. Mineral sunscreens are ideal for dry, sensitive skin as they offer broad-spectrum protection while being gentle on the skin. Look for formulas infused with moisturizing ingredients like vitamin E to enhance skin protection and fortify its natural defenses against environmental aggressors.

Incorporating these steps into your skin care routine can help alleviate dryness, restore moisture balance and promote a healthier, more radiant complexion. Consistency is key, so make sure to follow this regimen daily for optimal results. Remember, hydrated skin is healthy skin—and healthy skin is beautiful!
