What is dry skin?
Dry skin occurs when your skin loses too much oil. Dry skin is common and can affect anyone at any age. There are many courses for dry skin such as, taking hot showers, using harsh skincare products, having food and drinks that suck out the natural oils/moisture from your skin.

- Apply skincare to damp skin: When your skin is damp it’s both hydrated and is more permeable than dry skin. This allows the products you apply penetrate deeper into your skin and will be more effective. Think of your skin like a sponge, when the sponge is damp it adsorbs much more than if it was dry.
