Dry skin can occur from a variety of things including environmental stressors (hello, Colorado's dry climate!), barrier damage, or reduced oil production. Dry skin feels tight, rough, flaking, and may look dull. Hydration and barrier repair are critical first steps to improving dry skin.

Dry skin can happen for a variety of reasons, including: genetics, age, harsh cleansers, hot water, cold weather, medications, and even some medical conditions.

Dry skin treatments vary based on your goals and budget. One treatment option is to focus on barrier-repairing skincare, such as ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and gentle cleansers. There are also professional treatments like mask, gentle chemical peels, and medical-grade dermaplaning.
