Understanding Dry Skin (Xerosis)

Dry skin, or xerosis, occurs when the skin’s protective barrier lacks sufficient water and lipids. This can present as tightness, rough texture, flakes, or small cracks. While occasional dryness is common, persistent xerosis suggests the barrier needs support.

Common Causes:

• Climate: Low humidity, cold weather, or intense sun exposure.
• Harsh products: Sulfate-heavy cleansers or alcohol-based toners.
• Aging: Natural decline in sebum and hyaluronic acid.
• Lifestyle: Long, hot showers, dehydration, or over-exfoliation.
• Health factors: Eczema, psoriasis, or thyroid-related issues.
  

Xerosis vs. Eczema

Xerosis is generalized dryness from inadequate moisture. Eczema is an inflammatory condition that includes redness, itching, and patchy flares. Both benefit from barrier-first care—gentle cleansing, rich moisturization, and daily sun protection.

Symptoms & Risk Factors

Symptoms: Tightness, flaking, rough texture, and itchiness.

Risk factors: Age over 40, cold/arid climates, frequent bathing, and personal or family history of eczema or dermatitis.

When to See a Dermatologist

If you notice painful fissures, signs of infection, or persistent itching that doesn’t improve with gentle skincare and lifestyle shifts, consult a dermatologist for evaluation and tailored treatment.

Build a Dry & Sensitive Skin Routine

1) Gentle Cleanse

Choose a low-foam, sulfate-free cleanser to avoid stripping the skin’s natural oils. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.

2) Hydrate with a Serum

Layer water-binding ingredients first to draw in moisture. Our Organic Apple Stem Cell Serum replenishes hydration and supports a plumper, smoother appearance.

3) Seal with a Rich Cream

Reinforce the barrier and lock in moisture with a nourishing moisturizer. The Organic Vitamin C Face Cream SPF 30 delivers antioxidants and essential protection for dry, sensitive skin.

4) Exfoliate 1–3x per Week

Gentle exfoliation removes dull buildup, allowing moisturizers to absorb better. Avoid harsh scrubs or strong acids on reactive skin. The Organic Whipped Sugar Fondant Body Scrub offers a soft, hydrating polish for smoother, more supple skin.

5) Protect Daily

UV exposure worsens dryness and barrier damage. Use SPF every morning and reapply as needed.

Sensitive Skin Care Focus

Sensitive skin requires formulas that are pure, simple, and soothing. Every Glimmer Goddess® product is free from parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances — common irritants that trigger redness or stinging. Our gentle blends of aloe vera, rosehip oil, and squalane hydrate while reinforcing your skin’s natural barrier, making them ideal for anyone with easily irritated or allergy-prone skin.

Lifestyle Support

• Use a humidifier during dry months.
  
• Keep showers warm (not hot) and brief.
  
• Apply moisturizer within 2–3 minutes after bathing.
  
• Stay hydrated throughout the day.
  

Nutritional Considerations

• Essential fatty acids (Omega-3): Flax, chia, walnuts.
• Vitamin E: Supports barrier lipids and elasticity.
• Vitamin C: Aids collagen and overall skin resilience.
• Zinc: Assists in skin repair and renewal.
  

Glimmer Goddess Approach

We formulate without sulfates, parabens, or harsh additives—choosing organic botanicals, plant oils, and antioxidant-rich extracts. Our goal is to hydrate deeply, soothe irritation, and support a resilient skin barrier for long-term comfort.

Soothe and replenish with our hydrating face cream for dry and sensitive skin, crafted with aloe vera, shea butter, and squalane for all-day comfort. For best results, use our exfoliating sugar scrub two to three times per week to gently polish away dullness and restore a soft, radiant glow.
