HOW TO TREAT
Learn what causes dry skin, and find the right skincare
WHAT IS DRY SKIN?
Your skin is your body’s first defence against the elements, such as weather and water. Dry skin is a very common skin condition that can be marked by scaling, itching, and cracking, and can develop on any part of the body. Skin can begin to feel rough and tight, and even start to redden and become more sensitive.
Some people are born with dry skin, while external triggers, ageing and hormonal changes can also be a factor. Since the face is more exposed to the elements and the environment, it’s important to find the right skincare routine to care for dry skin, with gentle formulas that won’t strip away its natural barrier.
WHAT CAUSES DRY SKIN?
Dry skin is caused by many factors, such as weather conditions or water hardness. Perhaps you have naturally dry skin, or are exposed to extreme cold and wind or medications that contribute to a loss of moisture. Additionally, harsh soaps, certain fabrics, extended hot showers, and lack of hydration can contribute to dry skin.
TOP 5 CAUSES OF DRY SKIN
• Environmental triggers like harsh weather conditions and UV rays
• Diet and not drinking enough water
• Ageing and hormonal changes
• Certain medications
• Harsh soaps, over-washing and the wrong skincare

THE BENEFITS OF HYALURONIC ACID
A wonderful ingredient from nature, hyaluronic acid is the star ingredient in our iconic Vitamin E Moisture Cream and new Vitamin E Gel Moisture Cream formulas. It generates a film on top of the natural skin barrier, creating a kind of reservoir on top and within the skin’s surface to improve natural moisture levels for up to 48 hours. We salvage leftover wheat stalks from French wheat grain harvests. These are then included in the biofermentation process to help deliver 100% natural origin hyaluronic acid.
