Dryness
Skin that feels rough, flaky or tight needs a gentler approach, not a longer shopping list. Moisturiser and a comfortable cleanser are useful starting points. Look for hydration and softening support rather than relying on a single hero ingredient.
What you might notice
- Flaking or rough patches
- Tightness or itch
Where to start
- Wash gently with lukewarm water.
- Apply moisturiser after washing, while skin is still damp.
- Choose fragrance-free products and avoid scrubbing.
Things to keep in mind
- Hot water and harsh washing can make dryness worse.
When to get help
Persistent cracking, bleeding or troublesome itch deserves medical advice.
