WHAT SKINCARE INGREDIENTS ARE BAD FOR DRY SKIN?

Be careful of which big-name brands you trust to take care of your complexion; they may claim to offer makeup for sensitive skin, but if you peek the ingredient label, you’ll probably spot a number of harsh chemicals that can do more harm than good. 


Popular ingredients like retinoids and benzoyl peroxide can help clear acne, but for some, it can lead to peeling, itching, and redness. Drying agents like isopropyl alcohol, sodium, ethanol, or ammonium lauryl sulfate also dry out skin. Artificial colors, fragrances, and preservatives trigger irritation that can leave your skin dry, cracked, or flakey. Avoid worsening your skin condition and only shop sunscreen without oxybenzone and octinoxate. Choosing the right skincare products—starting with a good primer for dry skin—can make the difference between a complexion that’s healthy and vibrant versus dull and patchy.

WHAT MOISTURIZER SHOULD I CHOOSE FOR DRY SKIN?

Keep your skin hydrated day and night with a nourishing moisturizer. A water-based moisturizer high in emollients lubricates the skin and locks-in moisture. Other ingredients, like glycerin and hyaluronic acid, also help replenish skin. These ingredients are key to maintaining a silky, glowing complexion. Choose a moisturizer with skin-friendly sunscreen to avoid sun damage and slow signs of aging, then apply your specially formulated primer for dry skin before completing your makeup application. We offer makeup with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide so you can perfect your appearance while defending against the sun.

CAN I WEAR MAKEUP IF I HAVE DRY SKIN?
