Dry skin can feel like a constant struggle—tightness after washing your face, flakiness around the nose, and that dull, stretched feeling that just doesn’t go away. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. Dry skin needs more than just any moisturiser; it needs a consistent, gentle routine backed by products that soothe, protect, and deeply hydrate.

At MyHinine, we believe that skincare should feel good and do good. That’s why our clean, skin-friendly products are designed to support even the driest skin without harsh ingredients. Let’s take a look at the best skincare for dry skin and how to build a routine that keeps your skin soft, radiant, and happy.

Understanding Dry Skin

Dry skin lacks moisture and natural oils (sebum), making it more prone to sensitivity, rough texture, and premature fine lines. Environmental factors like cold weather, pollution, hot showers, or harsh cleansers can strip away the skin’s barrier, making dryness worse.

Common signs of dry skin include:

• Flaky or peeling patches

• Tightness after washing

• Rough or uneven texture

• Itching or irritation

The solution? A nourishing skincare routine that delivers hydration, locks in moisture, and restores the skin’s protective barrier.

The Best Skincare Routine for Dry Skin

1. Gentle, Hydrating Cleanser

Skip the foaming face washes that strip your skin of natural oils. Instead, opt for a cream or gel-based cleanser that cleanses without drying.

Recommended:
MyHinine Green Tea & Chamomile Face Wash – With soothing chamomile and antioxidant-rich green tea, this cleanser removes dirt while calming dry, irritated skin.

2. Moisturising Toner or Mist

A hydrating toner helps prep your skin to absorb serums and moisturisers more effectively. Look for ingredients like rose water or glycerin to add a boost of hydration.

MyHinine Tip: Use a toner right after cleansing when your skin is slightly damp for better absorption.

3. Nourishing Face Serum

Serums are highly concentrated and sink deeper into the skin. For dry skin, choose one with humectants like hyaluronic acid or niacinamide to hold in moisture and improve the skin barrier.

Look for:

• Hyaluronic Acid (deep hydration)

• Niacinamide (barrier repair + hydration)

• Vitamin E (nourishing and anti-inflammatory)

4. Deep Moisturiser

Moisturiser is a non-negotiable step for dry skin. You need a rich formula that not only hydrates but also seals in moisture. Choose creams with ingredients like shea butter, almond oil, or ceramides.

Recommended:
MyHinine Almond Honey Body Lotion – Although it’s a body product, the blend of almond oil and honey is deeply hydrating and safe for dry patches on the face as well.

5. SPF Protection (Even for Dry Skin!)

Many people with dry skin skip sunscreen thinking it adds to the dryness. In reality, UV exposure makes dry skin worse and speeds up signs of aging. Choose a moisturising sunscreen that protects and nourishes.

Pro Tip: Look for sunscreen with added hydration like aloe vera or glycerin.

6. Weekly Face Mask

Give your skin a little extra care with a hydrating mask once or twice a week. Masks help replenish lost moisture and soothe the skin after a long week of environmental stress.

DIY Option: Mix aloe vera gel with honey and apply for 15 minutes.
