The Best Products for Dry Skin: Your Ultimate Hydration Guide
Dry skin can be extremely frustrating to deal with. Not only do you need to find a way to counter the associated roughness and flakiness but dehydration becomes more prevalent too. The sebum that your skin produces plays a crucial role in moisture retention but, if your skin is dry, this means that it’s lacking sebum. As a result, transepidermal water loss, which is the rate at which moisture evaporates out of your skin, increases.
If you’re looking for a way to finally overcome that dryness, the key is to look for products that provide hydration while also locking that moisture in. Not sure where to begin? Keep reading as Vine Vera shares the best products for dry skin!
The Resveratrol Cabernet High Potency Night Cream
While dry skin would benefit from a moisture boost 24/7, this becomes even more essential overnight. Why? Because once nighttime rolls around, skin barrier function slows down. Your skin barrier is responsible for trapping moisture in the skin, meaning that moisture loss drastically increases at this time, especially if your skin is already dry.
This is why a good night cream is absolutely vital, which is where the Vine Vera Resveratrol Cabernet High Potency Night Cream comes in. This moisturizer is filled with ingredients that dry skin absolutely loves. Shea butter is one, with this ingredient known for having humectant, occlusive, and emollient properties. This means that not only will it bind moisture to your skin but it will then seal that in while also filling in those tiny cracks and gaps on your skin’s surface.
You’ll also notice that this cream is packed with antioxidants – something else that your skin benefits from in the evenings. Between resveratrol, aloe vera, chrysanthemum, mint, and more, you’ll be able to tackle the appearance of aging and free radical damage.
The Resveratrol Cabernet Replenishing Moisture Cream SPF 30
Ensuring that your skin remains moisturized is one of the best ways to deal with dry skin and all of the issues that come with it. However, in the daytime, you need to consider sun protection too. UV rays make both dryness and dehydration worse – shielding your skin from the sun will go a long way in keeping your skin feeling healthy.
While that may be the case, many tend to falter when it comes to sun protection. Not only do many sunscreens feel overly greasy and heavy but having to regularly moisturize your skin plus apply SPF on top can be inconvenient.
This is why we created the Vine Vera Resveratrol Cabernet Replenishing Moisture Cream SPF 30. It’s an incredible moisturizer that’s filled with vitamins and antioxidants. It contains aloe vera too, which not only hydrates the skin but also soothes the feeling of inflammation – something that the sun usually exacerbates. The best part? It also boasts SPF 30 – the recommended amount of sun protection for dry skin. Slather it over your skin in the morning and then again every few hours and you’ll keep your skin feeling soft, supple, and protected.
The Resveratrol Vitamin C Serum
You’re probably aware of how vitamin C is a superstar at dealing with a number of different visible skin concerns. It minimizes the appearance of aging, lightens the look of dark spots, gives the skin a more elastic feel, plus so much more!
However, many don’t realize that vitamin C can be a game-changer for dry skin too. Research shows that this antioxidant leaves the skin barrier feeling thicker and stronger. This then has a knock-on effect on moisture retention. After all, the healthier your skin barrier feels, the more efficiently it will be able to function.
You’ll find vitamin C in several Vine Vera products. However, if you’d like to really maximize the effects provided by the ingredient, turn your attention to the Vine Vera Resveratrol Vitamin C Serum. Thanks to how this serum contains two forms of vitamin C, you’ll be able to double up on its benefits. At the same time, this formula is also brimming with hydrating and moisturizing plant oils. From jojoba seed oil to olive oil to coconut oil, they’ll leave your skin feeling wonderfully smooth and soft.
The Resveratrol Chianti Revival Serum
While the serum above will provide plenty of hydration, dry skin can really benefit from multiple layers of hydration. Each new layer will help to lock the previous one in, which slows transepidermal water loss right down!
While there are plenty of serums out there to choose from, you need a formula that’s loaded with humectants. The moisture-binding properties of this ingredient group will immediately give your skin a fuller, plumper, and dewier finish.
Some of the most effective humectants out there are sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, seaweed extract, soluble collagen, and peptides, all of which can be found in the Vine Vera Resveratrol Chianti Revival Serum. Each one hydrates the skin in its own way, meaning that combining them all will give your skin an intense moisture boost.
This serum will also appeal to those of you who are trying to lighten the look of discoloration. With kojic acid, vitamin C, and green tea extract, it contains quite a few ingredients that have been proven to help with the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
The String Lift Sculpting System
As we’ve just discussed, sodium hyaluronate is, without a doubt, one of the best hydrating ingredients around. It comes from hyaluronic acid, with the main difference being molecular size. Sodium hyaluronate features smaller molecules, enabling it to dive deeper down.
With that said, there’s no reason why you can’t use both. Doing so ensures that your skin feels hydrated on multiple levels, which is exactly what dry skin needs.
While there are several products out there that contain both ingredients, the String Lift Sculpting System takes things to the next level with six forms of hyaluronic acid. These are joined by oat extract, vitamin E, and peptides, all of which will soothe your complexion while also leaving your skin barrier feeling more resilient.
Even better, this product is so much fun to use! Start by spritzing the serum onto your skin before laying the threads over the top, focusing on your areas of concern. Then, spray the serum onto your skin once again to dissolve the threads, before massaging everything into your skin.
The Resveratrol Cabernet Mousse Cleanser
Finding a good cleanser can be tricky when you have dry skin. Go for a formula that’s too harsh and you’ll exacerbate your dryness in a big way. After all, cleansing removes sebum from your skin…but this is something that dry skin desperately needs!
The solution is to use a gentle cleanser – a formula that won’t strip your skin of its precious sebum but will still clear away dirt and other impurities. This is a task that the Vine Vera Resveratrol Cabernet Mousse Cleanser excels at.
This cleanser features a sulfate-free formula. Sulfates are powerful surfactants that are notorious for drying out the skin. Instead, it makes use of coconut-derived surfactants that not only do a fantastic job of cleansing the skin but also provide moisturizing and conditioning properties.
Thanks to an infusion of aloe vera leaf extract, chamomile extract, and moringa seed oil, it will also lower the feeling of inflammation and irritation while providing a boost of hydration.
The Resveratrol Pinot Noir Phyto-Silk Mask
We’ve already talked about how important it is to use a good night cream when you have dry skin. However, if your skin could do with even more help in the evenings, an overnight mask could be just what you need.
Unlike most face masks, overnight masks don’t need to be rinsed off the skin. Instead, they’re simply applied as part of your evening skincare routine and then left to soak into the skin all night long. This gives your skin more of an opportunity to absorb the ingredients in the mask. If those ingredients are hydrating and moisturizing, you’ll wake up with a gorgeous glow!
If you don’t yet have an overnight mask that can do just that, check out the Vine Vera Resveratrol Pinot Noir Phyto-Silk Mask. It contains some incredible hydrating ingredients, including sodium hyaluronate, squalane, and aloe vera. It’s also packed with antioxidant-rich plant extracts. Noni, acai berry, mangosteen, pomegranate, maqui…all of these fruits are revered for their antioxidant content, hence their superfood status. Apply them directly to your skin and you’ll be giving your skin all that it needs to look healthy and happy.
The Intensive Shea Body Butter
If you have dry skin on your face, then there’s a good chance that you’ll have dry skin on your body too. Sure, you can hide your body under clothing so that the flaking and roughness isn’t visible to the world but, alternatively, you could also invest in a rich body moisturizer that’s able to diminish the look of dryness and rebalance the feel of your skin.
For this, we would recommend turning to the Vine Vera Intensive Shea Body Butter. We’ve already discussed how beneficial shea butter is for dry skin, and this body butter is full of it! However, it’s richer than our shea butter-infused facial skincare products, which is important because the skin on the body is much thicker than the skin on the face.
This body butter has also been formulated with vitamin E, sweet almond oil, jojoba seed oil, and rose fruit extract. Not only do they all boast antioxidant qualities but they’ll also back up the hydrating effects of shea butter. Use this body butter daily and you’ll soon be so proud of just how smooth and silky the skin on your body feels!
