THE 5 BEST INGREDIENTS TO GET YOUR DRY SKIN, SORTED

The changing weather brings along with it inevitable changes in your skin. Drastic temperature shifts can lead to dry, irritated and cracked skin. But, it’s not just the cold weather that can leave your skin feeling dry. Warm weather increases water loss through sweating, so keeping your skin topped up on hydration is key to avoiding any unwanted irritation.

External changes can disrupt the layer of good bacteria living on the skin. This layer is called the microbiome, and acts as the skin’s first line of defence. Finding the right ingredients to hydrate your skin and feed the microbiome is the first step in helping to repair your dry, damaged skin. So, let’s get to know the wonder ingredients that will help keep your skin in tip top shape.

UREA

Naturally-occuring in the skin, Urea helps to draw moisture in and leaves skin feeling nourished and hydrated. Used to treat dry and rough skin conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis, Urea increases moisture by softening and eliminating dead skin build-up to allow for easier absorption.

SWEET ALMOND OIL

Packed with highly nutritious fatty acids like Omega 9 and 6, along with Vitamins E and B, Sweet Almond Oil has great antioxidant properties. It is also great at smoothing, softening and moisturising the skin, making it a key ingredient to use for the treatment of dry skin conditions.

CHICORY ROOT EXTRACT

Feed your microbiome with Chicory Root Extract (also known as Inulin), to help overpower bad bacteria and restore balance to your stressed skin. The microbiome is the skin’s first line of defence and plays an essential role in its natural barrier function, so maintaining the protective microbiota barrier is key in preserving your skin health.

OAT EXTRACT

Suffering with never-ending itching? Oat Extract has anti-irritant and anti-itch properties, and significantly reduces redness along with any accompanying itchiness. This oat-derived ingredient also acts as a natural antihistamine, so it can provide long-term itch relief benefits.

PENTAVITIN

Pentavitin is derived from 100% natural corn kernel, and works to trap water in the outer layer of the skin like a magnet. Unlike hyaluronic acid, Pentavitin cannot be washed away and provides the skin with calming, nourishing hydration for up to 72 hours.
