What skincare ingredients to avoid for dry skin?Updated a year ago
When you have dry skin, you’ll want to avoid ingredients that are liable to make it drier. Here are the kinds of products we suggest you skip:
- Traditional soaps since they usually have a disruptive alkaline pH.
- Detergent-based cleansers since they may strip your skin of oils.
- Masks with clay.
- Products heavy in denatured alcohol.
- Be careful with acne treatments like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. They may be helpful if you break out, but you may need to compensate by moisturizing more.
