Dry skin

What is it?
Dry skin is skin that has lost more moisture than it can hold on to. It feels tight after a shower, it flakes, it itches, and in winter it can crack at the knuckles, heels and shins. Hot water, wind, air conditioning, harsh soaps and age all strip the skin's own oils, and once that barrier thins the water simply evaporates away. The answer is not more water. It is oil, applied while the skin is still damp, so the moisture is held in rather than lost.

Blend intention

Feed, seal and calm. Jojoba golden, a liquid wax that mirrors the skin's own sebum and absorbs without residue. Evening Primrose for its gamma-linolenic acid, the fatty acid dry and irritated skin runs short of. Lavender True to calm, Geranium to balance oil production, Chamomile Roman for redness and irritation. Applied to damp skin morning and night, with Untouched: Intensive Serum on the face where the skin is driest.
