YOUR RESULTS
You have dry skin
Dry skin lacks moisture, which can leave it dull and more prone to wrinkles, skin conditions and allergic reactions. Skin components including lipids and proteins form a barrier to lock in moisture, and if these are damaged, moisture evaporates, and skin becomes dry.
Your skin needs extra moisture to help strengthen and replenish its protective barrier. Look for hydrating, water-based products that gently cleanse and deeply moisturise it while respecting its natural pH balance and helping it to regenerate.
Take special care of your skin in hot, cold or windy weather to prevent it from getting chapped or irritated.

Your routine
First step
As the seasons' change, it's important to update your routine to better suit your environment. Using water-based lotions in the summer and oil-based thicker creams in the winter will help combat dry skin.
Second step
Drink 8 glasses of water a day. This will help to naturally hydrate your skin while flushing out toxins, keeping it supple, maintaining pH balance, and evening out your skin tone.
Third step
Use gentle soap-free products and avoid long hot showers. Try microbiome friendly products that don't strip your skin of its natural protective barrier. This will boost your skin's defences and lock in natural moisture making it feel more resilient and hydrated. It may also help to wear clothing made from natural fibres such as cotton and silk, and avoid polyester, nylon and other synthetic materials. This will help to avoid chafing and itchiness and allow your skin to breathe.
