Dryness
Dry skin needs water and the lipids that help hold it in. Hydrating facials and gentle exfoliation can improve comfort and brightness, while a hyaluronic acid serum under a rich cream supports the skin between visits.

What causes it
Dryness comes from a weakened skin barrier: cold weather, indoor heating, hot showers, over-exfoliating and age all strip the lipids that hold water in the skin. When the barrier is compromised, moisture evaporates faster than you can replace it.

Common questions
What is the best facial for dry skin?
A deep-hydration facial that pairs gentle exfoliation with concentrated hydrating serums, such as the Supernova Facial or an oxygen treatment, gives the fastest visible relief for dry skin.
Why is my skin still dry after moisturizing?
Moisturizer seals in water, but if the skin underneath is dehydrated there is little to seal in. Apply a hydrating serum on damp skin first, then your cream on top.
How often should I exfoliate dry skin?
Once or twice a week with a gentle enzyme or lactic acid exfoliant. Over-exfoliating removes the barrier lipids that keep moisture in and makes dryness worse.
Can a professional treatment fix chronic dryness?
A series of hydrating facials can support the skin barrier, especially when paired with a consistent home routine.
