Dryness

Dry skin needs water and the lipids that help hold it in. The Exosome Facial Facelift, Supernova Facial and Glass Skin Dermafacial leave skin looking replenished, and the Daily Hydrating Cream, Eden Moisturizer and Daily Serum keep it comfortable at home.

What causes it

Dryness comes from a weakened skin barrier: cold weather, indoor heating, hot showers, over-exfoliating and age all strip the lipids that hold water in the skin. When the barrier is compromised, moisture evaporates faster than you can replace it.

Common questions

What is the best facial for dry skin?

The Exosome Facial Facelift is Joanna's pick for skin that looks depleted. The Supernova Facial and Glass Skin Dermafacial are also great choices for a plumper, dewier look.

Why is my skin still dry after moisturizing?

Moisturizer seals in water, but if the skin underneath is dehydrated there is little to seal in. Apply a hydrating serum on damp skin first, then your cream on top.

How often should I exfoliate dry skin?

Once or twice a week with a gentle enzyme or lactic acid exfoliant. Over-exfoliating removes the barrier lipids that keep moisture in and makes dryness worse.

Can a professional treatment fix chronic dryness?

A series of hydrating facials can support the skin barrier, especially when paired with a consistent home routine.
