Dry skin can often feel tight, appear flaky, and look dull. It needs a routine that supports both the skin’s moisture (water) and its lipids (fats). The beauty of it: effective care doesn’t have to be complicated with MERME. With just a few targeted steps, you can strengthen your skin barrier and create a comfortable, supple skin feel.
Here is a simple guide to help your skin feel regenerated again.
- Start with a gentle, hydrating cleanse
Cleansing should remove impurities without drying out the skin. A moisturizing cleanse creates a soft base and reduces the tightness that dry skin often experiences after washing.
Delicate Dissolve Face Cleanser: Our gentle, glycerin-based cleansing gel cleanses while 2% Panthenol and Allantoin protect the skin barrier. It preserves the skin's natural oils and ensures it feels elastic and soft after cleansing. - Use multi-layer hydration to provide the skin with moisture
Dry or dehydrated skin benefits from moisture being delivered to different layers of the skin's surface. Preparing the skin with hydration helps to instantly relieve tension.
More Moisture Face Serum: This serum combines seven molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid that work together to hydrate the skin on multiple levels. It plumps up dry lines and improves suppleness. 1% Ectoin provides additional protection against moisture loss caused by external stressors. - Seal in moisture with protective care
Moisturizers help keep the skin's surface smooth. Dry skin often requires more than just hydration in the form of water; it needs lipids (fats) to actively support the skin barrier.
Gentle Barrier Face Cream: Our most nourishing cream is rich in nourishing Avocado Oil. It delivers the essential lipids that dry skin lacks and forms a protective cushion on the skin's surface and upper layers. This rich care strengthens the skin barrier and ensures that moisture stays exactly where it belongs all day (and all night).
Extra Support when needed: The Finish
If your skin feels particularly dry or rough on certain days, an additional protective layer can be beneficial.
Glowing Guard Face Oil: The Rosehip Seed Oil in this product acts as an exceptional shield. Apply it after your moisturizer or add 2–3 drops to your cream before applying it to your skin to "lock in" moisture. With the powerful antioxidant Astaxanthin, our face oil also helps to repair cell damage and gives dull skin a healthy glow.
FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between dry and dehydrated skin?
Dry skin lacks fats (lipids), while dehydrated skin lacks water. You can experience both at the same time—MERME products like the More Moisture Serum (water) and the Gentle Barrier Cream (lipids) cover both needs.
Do I really need to apply moisturizer twice a day?
Consistency is key. Dry skin especially benefits from a morning and evening routine to keep moisture levels stable.
Why does my skin feel drier in winter?
Low temperatures and dry heating air strip moisture from the skin. Supplementing your routine with the Glowing Guard Face Oil helps to stop evaporation.
Tip: Always apply your serum to slightly damp skin. This helps the Hyaluronic Acid pull moisture into the pores like a magnet.
