dry skin

Dry skin lacks oil and dehydrated skin lacks water, and most people have some of both. Korean routines address them separately: humectant layers such as an essence to add water, then an occlusive face cream with ceramides or shea to keep it there.

Apply every layer to skin that is still damp, and avoid hot water and high-pH foaming cleansers. If flaking persists despite rich creams, the barrier needs repair rather than more product. Orders ship quickly from Italy across Europe.
