Dry skin care: what really helps?
Share
Dry skin often feels tight, can flake, and becomes unbalanced more quickly. Many people try to solve this by using increasingly rich creams, but that doesn't always work. Dry skin doesn't require a heavy-duty approach, but rather the right support.
What really helps with dry skin?
What happens when you have dry skin?
Dry skin has difficulty retaining moisture. This can be caused by:
• showering too hot
• aggressive cleaning
• weather influences (cold, wind, dry air)
• too many products or too little care
The result is often skin that feels tight, especially after washing.

Cleanse without drying out the skin further
One of the most important steps for dry skin is how you cleanse. Many conventional cleansers not only remove dirt but also the natural oils your skin needs.
Black soap with argan oil gently cleanses without leaving skin feeling tight. This soap has been used in traditional skincare routines for generations.

Hydration: less lubrication, better dosing
Hydration is essential for dry skin, but that doesn't mean you need a lot of product. Just a few drops of the right oil can be enough.
Argan oil helps keep the skin supple and is often used for dry or sensitive skin.
Prickly pear seed oil is known for its light texture and is often chosen when the skin needs extra comfort.

Exfoliating for dry skin: careful and with care
Dead skin cells can build up faster on dry skin, but scrubbing too often is counterproductive.
The kessa glove is traditionally used in combination with heat and black soap. This:
• the skin first becomes soft
• minimum pressure is sufficient
• the skin barrier remains intact
Use this a maximum of once a week, or less if your skin is sensitive.
