How to take care of my dry skin?

Because it lacks lipids, dry skin is thinner and more prone to dehydration than other types of skin. On both face and body, it dries out, loses its suppleness, becomes rough and can start to peel. Discover all our secrets for caring for dry skin.

Naturally produced by the skin, sebum creates an invisible protective barrier. Dry skin is in desperate need of sebum: discomfort sets in, and areas of desquamation (accumulation of dead skin) appear. External factors such as temperature changes, hot showers, frequent use of unsuitable soaps and cleansers, and exposure to wind and sun can also increase water loss and reinforce these signs. Dry skin tends to be tight and even itchy. On the face, dry skin needs nourishing yet comforting formulas, as it is more fragile than its normal to oily counterparts.

Your skin type can change with the seasons, and it's common for areas of dry skin to appear occasionally. Skin also dries out with age, as the sebaceous glands that secrete sebum become less active. Stay in tune with your skin and adapt your beauty ritual to your current needs.
