Barrier Repair Trio

Barrier-strengthening skincare routine for very dry and sensitive skin that provides intense hydration and leaves the skin softer, smoother, and more resilient. Three complementary products care for the skin barrier, preserve the moisture balance, and help build up the skin's important microbiome.

What causes very dry skin?

Very dry skin often has a greater deficiency in both moisture and lipids, which can make the skin feel very tight, rough, and begin to flake. The skin barrier may also be weakened and have more difficulty retaining moisture. When the skin lacks its natural lipids and moisture-binding substances, it becomes more sensitive and can react more easily.

External factors such as cold, dry air, sun, hot water, and drying cleansers can also affect the skin barrier and make dryness more noticeable. Age and heredity can also influence how dry the skin becomes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

About very dry skin

  • The best thing for very dry skin is to provide plenty of both moisture and lipids while simultaneously strengthening the skin barrier, so that the skin can better retain moisture. Choose nourishing products with moisture-binding ingredients and skin-identical lipids that help the skin become softer, smoother, and more resilient. Avoid drying cleansers and products with unnecessary additives, such as fragrance.

  • For extremely dry skin, the skin needs both moisture and lipids to better retain moisture. Apply moisturizing skincare while the skin is still slightly damp and follow up with a rich cream that helps strengthen the skin barrier. Also try to limit cleansing to what is necessary and use a mild cleanser that does not dry out the skin. Choose products without unnecessary additives to minimize the risk of the skin reacting. If the skin cracks, bleeds, or the problems do not improve, we recommend that you contact a doctor or dermatologist.

  • For very dry and sensitive skin, a minimalist routine with a few, gentle products without unnecessary additives works best. Choose moisturizing products that are fragrance-free and help to retain moisture and strengthen the skin barrier. Use a gentle cleanser that does not dry out the skin and be careful with products containing strong acids if the skin feels irritated or reactive.

  • Moisturize very dry skin morning and evening, and more often if needed when the skin feels extra dry or tight, for example during the colder months of the year. Cleanse the skin in the evening to wash away dirt, sunscreen, and makeup, then apply hydrating skincare while the skin is still slightly damp. In the morning, it is often enough to moisturize the skin without cleansing.
