Karine's Morning Skin Care Routine For Dry Skin

If you have dry, tight, itchy skin, you’ve probably wondered what the best and quickest way to give your skin a moisture boost is. 

For Karine Amer, dry skin was brought on by her acne medication, but the dry condition of her skin never really went away. 

In this routine, we’ll show you the morning skincare routine Karine uses to nurture her dry, sensitive skin before she starts her day. These product suggestions have come from Karine’s Dermatologist, as well as her own experience of trial and error.

What causes dry skin?

Some people are more prone to dry skin than others, but there are some general factors that can promote or exacerbate dry skin types. Like Karine, dry skin can be brought on by particular medications, but usually the causes are a lot more generalised. 

Factors that can contribute to causing dry skin can include changes in temperature or humidity, certain soaps and chemicals, an unbalanced pH, sun exposure and genetics. This list is not exhaustive, but it does point to some potential solutions when it comes to forming your morning dry skin routine.

The best way to soothe dry skin is with a simple routine using hydrating and emollient ingredients, followed by a healthy amount of SPF! Remember, SPF is only one part of sun protection! Always seek shade, and wear sunnies, a hat and protective clothing. Use sufficient sunscreen for all unprotected areas and reapply sunscreen as directed. Frequent re-application or use in accordance with directions is required for effective sun protection. Always read the label. Prolonged high-risk sun exposure should be avoided.
