Surface-dryness

The skin feels dry and tight while also feeling congested and oily. The tightness persists despite using products specifically formulated for dry skin. If you have superficial dryness, you may also experience slight redness, itching, and flaking skin, affecting makeup application.

How to treat surface-dryness

Surface dryness can affect most skin types and is a symptom of a lack of hydration. By using products rich in hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid (preferably in multiple layers) that attract and bind moisture to the skin, symptoms are minimised, resulting in plumper, more elastic skin and a more resilient skin barrier.
