Dry Skin

Dry skin has a low level of oil and can be prone to sensitivity. Dry skin has a parched look caused by its inability to retain moisture. It usually feels "tight" and uncomfortable after washing. Chapping and cracking are signs of extremely dry, dehydrated skin.

Dry skin can be caused by a variety of factors, including: weather, nutrition, harsh cleansers, irritating fabrics, prescription medications, as well as certain medical conditions.

Dry skin treatment routines should consist of a gentle cleanser, gentle toning products, and of course, a highly effective moisturizer. We know men sometimes shy from moisturizing products, but men with dry skin especially should be sure to use a moisturizer to tend to their skin. Dry skin care is similar to most skin care routines you will be familiar with, but it is important to choose gentler products that will not irritate your dry skin.

TIP: Remember to use lukewarm water, not hot water for cleansing. Hot water contributes to dry skin symptoms by robbing skin of hydration.
