Why Natural Skincare Products are Better for Dry Skin
Dry skin is a skin type that lacks oil in the skin and although you cannot change your skin type, you can use the right all-natural moisturisers that benefit your complexion and soothe the inflammation of dry, itchy and painfully tight complexion. When it comes to caring for your dry skin type the golden rule is being committed and diligent with daily moisturising
Natural and organic products work in a multitude of ways, they address your skin function while providing benefits that can help address your other skin concerns.
Select products that are free of ingredients that offer no nourishing and soothing benefits. Common mainstream products that are occlusive and marketed for dry skin often contain mineral oil, palm oil, lanolin, formaldehyde, parabens, and fragrances that commonly irritate dry skin. Switching to a natural moisturiser that optimises botanical butters and oils in place of petro-chemical derivatives (used simply for filler due to their cheap cost), work to build healthy skin function while providing a protective shield from further damage.
When it comes to selecting the best moisturiser for dry skin, texture and weight matter. An occlusive moisturiser that contains Omega-rich fatty acids and vitamins (from botanical oils and butters) will soothe inflammation, improve the texture, and quench even the most parched and flakiest skin. Botanical oil-based balms formulated with a base of skin replenishing butters have powerful hydrating properties and the ability to prevent trans-epidermal water loss.
Light emulsions are not going to cut it when it comes to treating dry skin. Look for a rich occlusive cream that helps to reinforce the skin’s barrier that helps to retain moisture. Select ingredients like soothing niacinamide, water-attracting glycerin, hydrating ceramides and fatty acids — that are naturally depleted in the skin over time. Adding these lipids topically to your daily skincare regime are vital for repair and prevention of further inflammation.

Plant butters such as Shea butter, Cocoa butter and Cupuacu butter are an ideal base for dry skin moisturisers as they seal in moisture and protect the skin from further environmental stressors. These occlusive butters are rich in ceramides – omega-rich fatty acids that work in harmony with botanical oils. Antioxidant properties to fight further damage, while vitamins work to repair and strengthen a fragile skin barrier. The rich protective layer also helps to relieve itchiness and inflammation that occurs in dry skin types.
If you are new to using a natural balm, they can be somewhat of a surprise as they can initially feel greasy to the touch. Don’t be deterred by this. Apply a spritz of your natural mist and while your skin is moist directly apply the balm to the face, neck and décolletage.
TNC Tip: a light spritz of your botanical mist over the balm will increase the rate of absorbency. Perfect for the morning when you are wanting to apply a light foundation.

Plant based face oils are both an emollient and an occlusive, which help to strengthen the skin barrier while working to soften the feel of the skin and prevent trans-epidermal water loss. When carefully selected a natural face oil offers multiple benefits.
Fatty acid molecule size matters here, they penetrate to the deeper layers of the skin and strengthen the barrier. Marula, Jojoba and Argan Oil are ideal choices.

A hyaluronic serum can be one of the most beneficial treatments for dry skin types and dehydrated skin. It’s also greatly beneficial in calming redness in the cheeks and cross-hatching around the delicate eye area. Hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant that can hold up to a thousand times its weight in water. It is found naturally in the skin and works to retain moisture in the cells of the skin keeping the skin looking dewy and radiant.
As we age just like our collagen, Hyaluronic acid present in our body begins to deplete. Daily topical application works to replenish water in the skin, while delivering anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties helping to further protect and defend from environmental aggressors causing free radical damage.
Not all Hyaluronic acid is created equal so pick a low molecule form of Hyaluronic acid that can properly penetrate the deeper layers of the skin. Best applied after cleansing to clean skin and always follow with an occlusive moisturiser to lock in the treatment.
