We all are very familiar with the oily skin products, common problems they face, actives to be included in their regime etc., Dry skin, according to me is a very versatile and subjective topic, especially when sensitive part is added to it. Since I did a lot of research, I mean it, a looot! I used it on my skin as well as my mom, to see if the result varies, tried a lot of products especially the products designed for extremely dry cum sensitive skin.

There are a wide range of products formulated, but coming to the products that really work, there are only few. If you have a question on me, why specially focusing on sensitive? because, these products are so gentle that both sensitive and non-sensitive dry skinned people can use it. Before all of this make sure to learn the do’s and don’ts for sensitive skin.

Cleansing

Yeah, this may sound basic, but I couldn’t find any best face wash so far than the Cetaphil and CeraVe one. May be the third place goes to Minimalist oatmeal cleanser. I love these cleansers, considering how gently and effortlessly they take of our surface dirt and residual makeup left even after using a makeup remover.

Though you need to massage a while, for it to start working, I would say it is worth to do so. All the cleansers works very well when sensitivity comes as a important factor along with dry skin.

Toning

I found a wide variety of calming toners which are formulated really good. But I would suggest you guys to go for thermal water from Avene and Uriage, they are really good.

We can of course level up your dry skin from moisturizer and serum, but if you feel that you really want a hydrating toner for times your skin is not sensitive, I have found 3 best hydrating toners which even works dual, as a calming and hydrating product formulated for sensitive skin types.

Correction

This is the personalized part, a lot of dry skinned people may deal with aging, acne or hyperpigmentation, tanning etc., For pigmentation, you can go for a well formulated Vitamin C serum or a Brightening cream which contains agents like niacinamide, kojic acid, alpha arbutin etc., This also works well for aging skin by tightening it.

If acne is your problem, make sure all the products you use are non-comedogenic and include non-drying anti acne actives like Niacinamide, Tea Tree Oil and salicylic acid in moderation. You can also try cream-based formulas having retinols in your night skin care regime. “It is important to start with one treatment at a time,” says a board-certified dermatologist, Charlotte Birnbaum. So, start with any one.

Trust me when I say this, when dry acne comes on screen, Tea Tree Oil is going to be a game changer! Slow but Strong. In US Brooklyn Botany Tea Tree Essential Oil is a really good option and for India Alps Goodness Tea Tree Essential Oil is a really good budget friendly option.

Moisturizing

When it comes to extremely dry skin, using emulsions help more than a moisturizer. There are great emulsions available in The Face Shop, Etude, It’s Skin Collagen. Coming to pharmacy skincare Emolene is a great great option available if you are on a budget. Emulsions do not make your skin greasy or oily, it just works a level up than a moisturizer and gives a nice bounce to our skin.

If you are a person who loves thick creamy moisturizers, Bioderma has a very good range of moisturizers, especially sebium hydra is such a good creamy moisturizer. You also have Nutriderm moisturizer which is so light weight but thick.

SPF

No matter what, especially when you include actives in your skin care (preferably in night regime), a SPF should be applied the next morning. Go for SPF more than or atleast 50. I personally love the Derma Co 1% Hyaluronic Acid Sunscreen or Cetaphil Sheer Liquid Sunscreen for my face and the Wish Care Sunscreen for my body, all of which do not have any white cast and has a great protection factor.

If you prefer a mousse like sunscreen which just acts like a primer, I suggest you go for Re’Equil, such a brilliant formulation I would say. Unfortunately, this brand is not available in US, a similar alternative I have found for you is Supergoop!, almost similar I would say.

For reapplication, a sunscreen spray from any good brand or sunscreen sticks would go very well. I will not suggest you to go for trending sunscreen powders as they do not give you the required protection.
