Feeling like your parched skin could do with a little extra love but not sure where to start? Whether your skin’s need for that boost of nourishment is due to stress, lack of sleep, or perhaps it’s the current cold weather that’s causing havoc with your complexion, we are here to help! Keep reading as we round up the best nourishing skincare products. 8 products that will turn your skin from dehydrated to gorgeously glowy in little to no time.

Firstly though why are you currently dealing with a parched complexion?

Your skin may be feeling particularly dry or dehydrated at the moment due to a combination of environmental, lifestyle, or health factors. Here are the most common causes:

Environmental Factors

1. Seasonal Changes: Cold weather and low humidity levels during winter can suck the life out of our already depleted complexion stripping moisture from our skin, leading to dryness.
2. Indoor Heating: Having the heating pumping 24/7 (I know I’m guilty of this!) can reduce indoor humidity, further dehydrating our skin.
3. Sun Exposure: Even in colder months, UV rays can damage our skin and deplete its moisture levels so make sure you are wearing your sunscreen daily!

Lifestyle Factors

1. Hydration: Let’s face it, many of us get a little lazy when it comes to rehydrating ourselves during the colder months but not drinking enough water can (and will!) lead to dehydrated skin.
2. Diet: A diet lacking in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants can impact our skin's ability to retain moisture so make sure you stock up on your leafy greens, berries and fatty fish.
3. Hot Showers: Who doesn’t love a long hot shower in the morning (and evening!) when its cold outside but believe me when I say by doing so you will strip your skin of its natural oils, causing dryness.
4. Lack of Sleep: Inadequate sleep can lead to a decrease in blood circulation, making the skin look pale and tired. During sleep, the skin repairs and regenerates, so lack of sleep can hinder this process.
5. Stress: Chronic stress can lead to hormonal imbalances that affect the skin, potentially causing issues like acne, dryness, and dullness.

Skincare Routine

1. Harsh Cleansers: Using cleansers that contain alcohol or other harsh ingredients can strip your skin of its natural oils, so be vigilant about what you are putting on your skin!
2. Lack of Moisturiser: Skipping moisturiser or using one that isn’t hydrating enough can leave your skin feeling dry. This is why we are here to help!
3. Over-Exfoliation: Exfoliating too often can damage your skin's protective barrier, leading to moisture loss. Best to stick to exfoliating once or twice a week.

Health Factors

1. Age: Unfortunately as we age our skin not only reduces its production of collagen and elastin, but it also produces less oil too, making it more prone to dryness.
2. Medical Conditions: Conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and hypothyroidism can cause dry skin.
3. Medications: And if you happen to be taking certain medications right now (and that includes diuretics and acne treatments) they too can have drying effects on the skin.

The best products to rejuvenate and nourish your dry and dehydrated skin

Now for the products that can really help!

1. CLEANSER: Pevonia Hydrating Cleanser

Why it’s great: Everyone needs a good daily cleanser in their skincare collection and this cleanser is the one that keeps topping our favourites list year after year. Why?

How to use: Use it every morning and evening by applying a small quantity all over your face and neck and working with wet fingertips. Remove with a washcloth or a sponge wet with warm water and towel dry. Follow with Hydrating Lotion for optimal results!

2. TONER: Pevonia Hydrating Toner

Why it’s great: This nourishing toner beautifully balances skins pH while removing any residual impurities after cleansing.

Why it’s great: I personally absolutely LOVE this soothing, silky, deeply nourishing gel like serum! It cleverly combats dehydration with the exceptional power of polarized weaving algae!

6. OIL: Pevonia Vitaminic Concentrate

Why It’s Great: This iconic overnight treatment oil is formulated with a blend of mandarin essential oil and vitamins A & E to deeply nurture skin while combatting excessive dryness, dehydration and premature ageing! It works while you sleep to restore your skin’s healthy appearance by morning. The results speak for themselves. Gorgeously glowing skin, every time!

7. FACE MASK: Phytomer’s Hydrasea Thirst-Relief Rehydrating Mask

Why it’s great: Fine lines, wrinkles and irritation can all be the contributors of dehydrated skin, and sometimes, you need something a bit more potent than your serum and moisturiser. Cue this mask from Phytomer! It literally feeds the skin with ultimate nourishment so you can feel your complexion tighten and plump in nearly an instant. The end result is youthfully restored skin.

How to use Apply a medium layer over your entire face and neck 1 to 2 times a week and leave on for 5 to 10 minutes. Lightly massage excess product into the skin and rinse. 

8. BODY CREAM: Phytomer Oleocreme Ultra Moisturizing Body Milk

Why it’s great: While our focus is often our faces, it's important to not forget the skin on our body too! If your face is feeling parched, its likely your body is too!

Its creamy and velvety texture is absorbed in a stroke, bringing your skin comfort and suppleness. Enveloped in a satiny veil, it is velvety-smooth to the touch.
