ZIAJA SKINCARE ADVICE

Dry skin – which skincare routine is right for you?

Dry skin can feel rough, tight or flaky. Gentle cleansing and skincare that provides moisture and supports the skin barrier are important. This guide helps you distinguish dry skin from temporary dehydration and put together a simple ZIAJA routine.

Typical signs

  • Skin often feels dry or tight.
  • The surface may look rough or flaky.
  • Dry skin may feel irritated or uncomfortable more easily.
  • Richer cream textures are often more comfortable than very lightweight skincare.

Dry or dehydrated skin?

These terms are often confused. Dry skin is a skin type with lower levels of sebum and lipids. Dehydration, by contrast, is a skin condition that can also occur with oily or combination skin.

Dry skin

  • A basic skin type or longer-term skin tendency
  • Lower sebum and lipid levels may weaken the skin barrier
  • Skin often feels rough, tight or flaky
  • Needs hydration and suitable lipid-replenishing or lipid-supporting care

Dehydrated skin

  • A temporary or additional skin condition
  • The skin primarily lacks water or moisture
  • Can also occur with oily and combination skin
  • Choose lightweight or richer moisturising care according to your underlying skin type

What does dry skin need in a daily routine?

Less is often more: cleanse gently, avoid unnecessarily harsh cleansers and follow with a suitable cream. A serum can be added if extra hydration is needed, but it is not an essential step. Suitable sun protection is also part of your morning skincare routine.

Morning

  1. Cleanse gently
  2. Optional: apply a hydrating serum
  3. Apply day care
  4. Use suitable sun protection

Evening

  1. Gently remove makeup and residue
  2. Optional: apply a serum
  3. Finish with suitable night care or face cream

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between dry and dehydrated skin?

Dry skin is a basic skin type that tends to produce less sebum and lipids. Dehydrated skin describes a condition in which the skin lacks moisture, which can also occur with oily or combination skin.

Does dry skin always need a serum?

No. Gentle cleansing and a suitable cream can already form a good basic routine. A serum is an additional step if you want to give your skin more hydration or targeted care.

Can dry skin also be sensitive?

Yes, dryness and sensitivity can occur together. If your skin often reacts to products or tends to sting, become red or irritated, your product choices should also take its sensitivity into account.
