Nobody wants dry and flaky skin. I know first hand that it is hands down one of the most annoying things. Makeup can’t be applied right and throughout the day it always seems that dry patches appear more and more. With the colder months coming, this problem may become worse and worse.
There are also steps you can take that will help from the inside out. Having a diet that consists of healthy fats will help to combat your dry and flaky skin. Things like avocados and walnuts are a good source of those healthy fats. Also cutting out caffeine and alcohol and increasing your water intake will also make a difference. Caffeine and alcohol are dehydrating to the body and skin so removing them from your diet will help get rid of dry patches. This won’t replace your skin care routine, but it will be helpful when trying to avoid dry skin.
Fear no more because there are moisturizers out there that will actually help combat dry skin. Some are higher end but the drugstore has some that are just as good. So get ready to say goodbye to dry skin and hello to a new face.
This moisturizer is $23 and can be purchased at any drugstore or Ulta Beauty. Its a water-based gel that is lightweight and will quench your skins thirst. It absorbs quick and is fragrance free for those with sensitive skin. The Hydro Boost also contains hyaluronic acid that is naturally found in skin that will provide it with hydration. Even if you don’t suffer from dry skin, this moisturizer is still great for those with normal to combination skin.
Almost everybody knows Tatcha because Kim Kardashian was known to use their setting spray. You can purchase this at Sephora for $68. It’s made from Japanese purple rice, which is why the brands color is lavender. It helps hydrate the skin while plumping it from the hyaluronic acid. It’s made for dry skin but can be used by any skin type. And honestly, the bottle is so pretty so it won’t ruin your vanity appearance. Another plus about this product, its cruelty free, gluten free and comes in recycled packaging. Go Tatcha!
The main thing about this moisturizer is it’s high SPF. It will provide intense hydration while also protecting from UV rays and blue light. They changed the sunscreen game. It’s not sticky, oily and won’t leave your face feeling greasy. The lightweight moisturizer can be purchased from Sephora for $38. It’s a mixture between a hydrating cream and a sunscreen so the price speaks for itself.
This is a Vitamin C and antioxidant moisturizer that can be used by all skin types. But it’s main focus is dry skin and fine lines and aging. It won’t leave a greasy feel but hydrates the skin to give a younger and smoother appearance. It will enhance the overall look and texture of the skin. It can be purchased at Sephora for $22.
Another drugstore favorite! This lightweight moisturizer provides instant hydration and gives the skin a boost of water. It contains hyaluronic acid and aloe water that gives a cooling effect to the skin. Perfect for days with a slight sunburn. The Hydra Genius is for normal to dry skin and can be purchased at Ulta Beauty for $18.
