Best Routine For Dry Skin: Within Beauty Edition

Does your skin feel drier than the desert, with a tight, stretchy, itchy feeling? Does your skin look flaky & require a moisturiser every hour of the day? Then (if you haven’t already taken the hint) you’ve got dry, dehydrated skin.

Many products in the skincare industry claim to be ‘suitable for dry skin’, but finding the right one that meets your skin’s unique needs can be a task. Tackling dry skin is not the trickiest task, but with the wrong approach, it can do more damage than good.

Think problems like inflammation, skin irritation, and most importantly, could damage the skin barrier. While there are multiple reasons why your skin could be dry, there’s nothing a good skincare routine can’t solve.

Yes, rich moisturisers & creamy lotions are your dry skin’s best friends. But no, just slathering those on is not enough! You need products that sink deep into your skin to treat, nourish & lock in moisture to quench your dry skin.

Within Beauty’s range of ceramide-infused products are designed to sink deep into your skin to make it look & feel hydrated & plump from the inside out. To simplify your search for the right products, here’s your effective & simple skincare routine for dry skin with all things Within Beauty.

Step 1: Cleanse - For both AM & PM routines.

Start with a clean slate — pick a hydrating cleanser to kickstart your skincare routine for dry skin. Avoid using harsh soaps or cleansers with alcohol as that may irritate & further dry out your skin.

The Within Beauty Barrier Boost Cream Cleanser is packed with squalane & the barrier-boosting goodness of ceramide complex that helps wash out dirt, sunscreen, impurities & makeup without overdrying your skin. The dreamy creamy texture of this cleanser feels oh-so-smooth on the skin. Use a dime-sized amount of this cleanser twice a day.

P.S. - This cleanser is effective enough to replace your double cleansing routine.

Step 2: Treat- For both AM & PM routines.

Having a hydrating serum in your skincare routine for dry skin not only helps tackle dryness & dehydrated skin but also works on fine lines, and helps even out your skin tone & texture.

The ceramide-rich Within Beauty Calming Drops Barrier Restore Soothing Serum has a unique texture that makes it perfect for dry skin. This serum is power-packed with hydrating ingredients like ceramides, niacinamide, aloe vera, and cucumber.

All of these combined not only help keep skin hydrated but also soothe skin irritation or itchiness caused by dryness. What’s more? The Calming Drops Serum works on a skin-deep level to restore your skin’s natural barrier. Just twist, pump & soothe your dry skin with just 2-3 drops of this on your face & neck area twice a day.

Step 4: Moisturise - For both AM & PM routines.

The most important step in your skincare routine for dry skin — a moisturiser! A rich moisturiser that is heavy on hydrating ingredients, and helps keep the moisture locked in is the one to pick to treat dry, dehydrated skin.

The Within Beauty Hello Hydration Barrier Boost Cream Moisturiser is made with skin-loving ingredients like ceramide complex, hyaluronic acid, and shea butter that help deeply moisturise skin & lock it in for 72 hours.

This rich, creamy moisturiser blends into the skin like a dream, and leaves the skin feeling soft & looking plump! And no, it does not leave your skin looking greasy & sticky, as most moisturisers may have led you to believe. Use 2-3 pumps of this moisturiser in your AM & PM routine.

Switch things up with a lightweight, yet supremely hydrating alternative, the Within Beauty Barrier Boost Hydrating Night Gel. This night gel is packed with the barrier-boosting benefits of ceramide complex & peptides. Together, these offer deep hydration overnight, while strengthening the skin’s natural barrier function.

The peptides also help boost collagen production which helps give skin a firmer appearance. Wake up to plump, hydrated (not oily) skin every morning! Use a generous amount of this night gel on your face & neck area every in your PM routine only.

Step 5: Protect - For AM routine only.

Rain or shine, summer or winter, you need an SPF 50 sunscreen all the time. Irrespective of seasons, applying (and re-applying sunscreen) is non-negotiable.

The Within Beauty Sunny Side Up Barrier Protect Hydrating Sunscreen is ideal for dry skin, thanks to its hydrating benefits. Rich in ceramides and vitamin E, this sunscreen does more than just sun-protect. It locks in moisture, tackles pigmentation, and protects the skin barrier from sun damage without leaving any white cast. Use 3 full fingers of this sunscreen at the end of your AM routine on your face & neck area. Re-apply every 2-3 hours.

On days when you’re in the mood to unwind & want to give your dry skin an extra treat, slap on the Within Beauty Barrier Build Hydrating Sheet Mask. It offers an added dose of deep hydration to help revitalise your skin in just 15 minutes.

Made with hyaluronic acid and ceramide complex, this sheet mask also helps improve skin elasticity & reduces the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles. Don’t waste the excess serum in the pack, apply it on your neck and arms.

Now that you’ve got the whole skincare routine for dry skin down to the T, all you need to do is build your routine and hydrate & nourish dry skin from Within.
