Are you tired of constantly tight, rough skin and uncomfortable itching? Dry skin can be a real challenge, but it also comes with special needs that can be met with the right care. When your skin doesn't produce enough sebum, it often leads to a dry complexion, flaky patches, and an increased risk of irritation and redness. With the right skincare routine, you can deeply hydrate your skin, strengthen its barrier, and restore a soft, supple skin feel.
Dry skin
Your skin often feels rough and tight, tends to flake, and can be easily irritated.
Complexion
The complexion can appear dull and pale. Dry skin often shows redness and an uneven skin texture.
Pores
The pores are usually small and fine, but the skin may appear flaky.
Unique characteristic
Rich creams and serums are necessary to protect the skin barrier and lock in moisture.
Dry skin, also known as xerosis, is characterized by insufficient sebum production, which results in a lack of natural oils needed to retain moisture and maintain the skin's barrier. This often leads to a rough, tight, and flaky texture, with an increased risk of cracks, irritation, and itching, especially in cold or dry conditions.
Caring for dry skin involves strengthening the moisture barrier and providing adequate hydration. Rich moisturizers containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, Glycoin®, and ceramides are essential, along with gentle cleansers and toners that do not dry out the skin. Regular care helps keep the skin soft, supple, and healthy without causing irritation or dryness.
Dry skin often feels rough and tight and can be flaky or cracked. It tends to produce less oil, leading to a lack of natural fats. This skin type can frequently cause itching and may show visible dryness lines, especially after washing or showering. Redness and increased sensitivity are also common features.
Dry skin requires intensive moisture care to prevent moisture loss and strengthen the skin barrier. This includes:
For the care of dry skin, the following ingredients are particularly beneficial:
These ingredients help to intensely care for dry skin, maintain moisture, and strengthen the skin barrier.
Yes, a serum can be very beneficial as it penetrates deeply into the skin and provides intense hydration. Serums with ingredients such as Desamido Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E, or Peptides can help hydrate, nourish, and protect the skin from environmental damage.
Choose rich, hydrating products specifically formulated for dry skin. Make sure they are formulated without alcohol and strong fragrances, as these can further dry out the skin. Look for compositions containing natural oils, moisturizing ingredients, and barrier-supporting components to keep the skin soft, smooth, and supple.

Tips for Radiant and Beautiful Skin
1. Gentle double cleansing
Use a gentle double cleansing routine to thoroughly clean your skin without drying it out. Start with Foam Sensitive, a mild cleansing foam that gently removes dirt and impurities. Follow with Tonic Sensitive to clarify and soothe the skin. These products help maintain the skin's natural moisture barrier and prepare it optimally for subsequent care.
2. Moisturizing care
Use rich moisturizers and serums to deeply nourish your skin and maintain optimal hydration levels. Especially effective are the Collagen Serum, which strengthens the skin and improves elasticity, and the Booster Serum, which penetrates deeply and delivers intense hydration. The Collagen Night Cream provides rich overnight care and supports the skin’s natural regeneration process.
3. Regular exfoliation
A gentle exfoliation once a week removes dead skin cells and enhances the absorption of moisturizing ingredients. Be sure to choose a mild exfoliant with fine enzymes like lipase and subtilisin to avoid irritating the skin. Regular exfoliation improves skin texture and provides a smooth, radiant complexion.
4. Protection from environmental factors
Protect your skin from cold wind and dry air by applying a particularly rich moisturizer. During the winter months, using a humidifier indoors can help increase humidity and keep your skin from drying out. Always wear a scarf or hat in winter to shield your face from the biting cold.
5. Don’t forget sun protection
Even dry skin needs protection from UV rays. Use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily to protect your skin from sun damage and prevent premature aging. Choose a day cream that also contains moisturizing ingredients to simultaneously nourish the skin.
6. Drink enough
Make sure to drink enough water to hydrate your skin from the inside. Adequate hydration is crucial for maintaining skin moisture and improving skin appearance. Aim to drink at least 2 to 3 liters of water daily.
7. Use moisturizing masks
Apply a moisturizing face mask once or twice a week to give your skin an extra boost of hydration. Masks with ingredients like betaine, hyaluronic acid, and panthenol are especially effective. These masks help to soothe and deeply nourish the skin, which is particularly beneficial during the winter months.
8. Use lukewarm water
Avoid hot water when showering or washing your face, as it can dry out the skin. Lukewarm water is gentler on the skin and helps to retain moisture. After showering, gently pat your skin dry rather than rubbing it vigorously to maintain moisture in the skin.
9. Wear appropriate clothing
Choose clothing made from natural materials like cotton, which is gentle on the skin and allows it to breathe. Avoid synthetic fabrics that can irritate the skin and lead to additional dryness. In winter, layering soft, natural fabrics helps protect the skin and retain warmth without drying it out.
Genetic predisposition is a significant factor in dry skin. If dry skin is common in the family, there is a higher likelihood of being affected oneself. Genetic factors influence sebum production and the skin's ability to retain moisture.
As we age, the skin tends to produce less sebum and loses moisture. The natural moisture barrier of the skin becomes weaker, which can lead to dry and flaky skin. Age-related changes such as thinning skin and slower cell renewal also contribute to dryness.
Cold temperatures, low humidity, and dry heating air in winter can dry out the skin. Wind and intense sunlight can also strip moisture and damage the skin barrier. Such extreme weather conditions often contribute to the development of dry skin.
Using harsh cleansing products, hot water, or excessive exfoliation can dry out the skin. Products containing alcohol or other potentially harmful ingredients can further dehydrate the skin and weaken its protective barrier. Additionally, insufficient use of moisturizers can contribute to dryness.
Certain health conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, or hypothyroidism, can cause dry skin. Additionally, the use of certain medications, such as diuretics, antihistamines, or retinoids, can also lead to skin dryness.
An unbalanced diet and insufficient fluid intake can worsen skin dryness. A lack of essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals can affect skin health. In particular, deficiencies in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E can make the skin drier.
Air pollution and pollutants can weaken the skin barrier and make the skin more susceptible to dryness. These environmental factors can also irritate the skin further and disrupt its moisture balance.
Interesting Facts About Dry Skin
The skin changes throughout the year, influenced by seasonal fluctuations such as temperature, humidity, and UV radiation. In winter, the skin often becomes dry and tight due to cold temperatures and dry indoor air. Sebum production decreases, leading to a weaker skin barrier. Regular moisturizing and gentle cleansing are particularly important during this time to protect the skin from dehydration.
