Hey, Glow-Getters! 🌟 Today, we’re tackling the driest subject: dry skin. It’s like that clingy ex who just won’t go away—ugh. But don’t worry, we’ve got the tools to break up with dull, flaky skin for good!

DO: Hydrate Like It’s Your Job

Drink up! Water keeps your skin soft and plump. Eating hydrating foods like cucumbers and watermelon can help, too.

DON'T: Use Harsh Soaps

If your soap makes you feel like you’ve just scrubbed your face with sandpaper, ditch it! Harsh soaps strip away moisture. Opt for natural alternatives, like our Black Soap bar —it’s gentle but effective.

DO: Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!

Skipping moisturizer? Sis, that’s a crime against your skin. Your skin needs a barrier to lock in moisture. Look for natural, hydrating ingredients like shea butter, aloe vera, or jojoba oil. I love to slather on a rich, non-comedogenic moisturizer right after showering—yes, you need to apply it when your skin’s still damp. Our lightweight Renew Serum is a fan favorite for keeping skin glowing without feeling greasy.

DON'T: Wash with Scalding Water

Look, I get it—there’s nothing quite like a steaming hot shower. But for the love of your skin, turn the temp down a notch. Super hot water dries out your skin like crazy but lukewarm water is the sweet spot that cleanses without stripping away natural oils. Trust me, your skin will thank you. 

DO: Choose Gentle Ingredients

Avoid products with harsh chemicals, alcohol, or artificial fragrances that strip your skin of moisture. Stick to soothing ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, and hyaluronic acid to keep your skin soft and balanced.

DON'T: Over-Exfoliate

Exfoliating is great for getting rid of dead skin, but don’t go overboard! Exfoliate just 1-2 times a week with gentle scrubs—your skin will be smoother without feeling raw.

Step-by-Step Routine for Dry Skin

1. Cleanser: Begin with natural alternatives like aloe vera or honey for hydration. Opt for the pure Black Soap Bar for a mild cleanse or the Exfoliating Sea Moss Black Soap Bar for gentle exfoliation—both effectively eliminate impurities while preserving moisture.
2. Toner: After cleansing, apply a toner infused with rose water or chamomile for calming hydration. Our Balance Toner, crafted with diluted apple cider vinegar and enriching oils, aids in restoring pH levels.
3. Exfoliation (1-2 times a week): Incorporate natural exfoliants like oatmeal or ground almonds to softly slough off dead skin cells, enhancing smoothness and optimizing product absorption.
4. Moisturizer: Seek out nourishing ingredients like shea butter or avocado oil for intense hydration. Our Renew Serum acts as a dual-purpose moisturizer and treatment, featuring jojoba oil for swift absorption and vitamin E for enriching nourishment.
5. Spot Treatment (Optional): Consider tea tree oil or calendula extract for addressing dry patches. Our Dissolve Spot Treatment, with tea tree oil and witch hazel, effectively targets dryness while ensuring a clear, luminous complexion.

Your skin deserves all the love, care, and hydration it can get. These do’s and don’ts will have you glowing in no time. So now that you’ve got the know-how, what are you gonna do with it? Treat your skin, love yourself, and glow on, queen! ✨
