What causes dry skin?

Dry skin can occur for numerous reasons, including environmental factors like cold weather and central heating, natural ageing, genetics, and lifestyle habits. When your skin lacks adequate moisture, it can feel tight, rough, and appear flaky or dull. Our environment constantly draws moisture from our skin, and factors like hot showers, harsh soaps, and certain medications can exacerbate dryness. The Body Shop's moisturising products for dry skin helps replenish skin with hydrating skincare formulations specifically developed for thirsty complexions.

Which ingredients are best for dry skin?

For truly effective skincare for dry skin, look for hydrating heroes like hyaluronic acid, which attracts and holds moisture, and glycerin, a natural humectant. Plant-based oils such as coconut, almond milk, and shea butter deliver essential fatty acids that strengthen the skin's moisture barrier. These natural moisturisers help restore comfort to dry, tight skin whilst supporting ethical and sustainable sourcing practices.

How should I build a skincare routine for dry skin?

A consistent skincare regimen is vital when addressing dry skin concerns. Begin with a gentle, cream-based cleanser that cleans without stripping natural oils. Follow with an alcohol-free toner to balance the skin. Next, apply a hydrating face serum containing hyaluronic acid for deep moisture. Then, seal in hydration with a rich moisturiser for dry skin. For extra nourishment, incorporate a weekly hydrating facial mask and facial oil. In the morning, always finish with SPF protection, as sun exposure can worsen dryness. The Body Shop's range of dry skin products offers everything needed for this comprehensive approach.

How often should I moisturise dry skin?

For optimal hydration, apply moisturiser for dry skin at least twice daily—morning and evening. However, extremely dry skin may benefit from additional applications throughout the day, especially after washing your hands or face. Keep a travel-sized moisturiser in your bag for touch-ups when your skin feels tight or uncomfortable. Consistency is key; regular application helps maintain your skin's moisture levels and prevents the return of dryness and flakiness.
