The Best Cleansers to Soothe and Hydrate Dry Skin
Dry skin can be uncomfortable and irritating; causing itchiness and flaking all over the complexion. To help combat this, we have put together our top picks of the Best Cleansers for Dry Skin that help soothe, calm and rehydrate._
What Causes Dry Skin?
Dry Skin is caused when the skin's natural barrier lacks oils or lipids, and unlike dehydrated skin, is an actual skin type rather than a concern, which can make it harder to treat. Switching to products tailored for dry skin will help to ease symptoms and treat the underlying cause, rather than simply mask it.
