Collection: Dry + Dull

Regardless of skin tone, dry skin is a problem we all face influenced by climate conditions, hormonal changes, or skin conditions.

Melanin-rich skin tends to be more susceptible to dry skin as it has a lower level of ceramides, lipids (fats) that forms a protective layer limiting the loss of moisture and protects against visible damage from environmental stressors.  Lower ceramide content causes a defective skin barrier function, resulting in the capacity to retain water.

Problem: Dry, itchy, flaky, irritated skin.  Your skin may also look dull or ashy.

Solution: Treat by moisturizing the skin to keep water from escaping such as plant oils and butters.  Avoid things that dry the skin such as hot, long showers, soaps and detergents.
