What is dry skin ?

First and foremost, it’s essential to understand your skin type in order to treat it effectively with skincare products containing the right active ingredients.

Dry skin is one of the most sensitive skin types. If your skin is naturally dry, that feeling of discomfort isn’t temporary. Dryness is often a long-lasting condition, usually caused by an imbalance in the skin. It lacks both lipids and water, which weakens the skin barrier.

Lipids play a key role in retaining moisture—the water naturally present in the skin. Without them, the skin becomes sensitive, which explains the tightness, redness, extremely dry patches, and irritation that often appear on the face.

Where does the lack of lipids come from ?

Often genetic, dry skin is caused by a lack of lipids—specifically, the skin’s sebaceous glands do not produce enough sebum. Yet this natural oil is essential for keeping the skin healthy, supple, and resilient.

Dry or dehydrated skin ?

Dry skin should not be confused with dehydrated skin. Dry skin lacks lipids, whereas dehydrated skin lacks water. Dehydrated skin is usually the result of insufficient internal hydration.

If you don’t drink enough water throughout the day, your skin will quickly become dehydrated. That’s why we recommend drinking at least 1.5 litres of water daily and replenishing your skin’s moisture with Source hydrating products. These treatments help prevent dehydration and maintain hydration for up to 72 hours, regardless of climate or environmental conditions.

Our moisturizing treatments

How can you make dry skin softer ?

Without suitable care, dry skin becomes rough, loses its radiance, and ages faster. To quickly and sustainably restore comfort and suppleness, it’s essential to adopt a nourishing and protective skincare routine.

We recommend creams rich in nourishing ingredients such as shea butter, hydrating agents like hyaluronic acid, and plant oils that repair and protect the skin. For very dry skin, the Nutrica range is ideal. Specially formulated to repair and protect ultra-dry skin, Nutrica products soothe tightness and intensely nourish the epidermis.

Our top recommendation is the Baume Confort Généreux—a repairing treatment enriched with sweet almond oil, raspberry seed oil, and meadowfoam seed oil. These oils provide essential nutrients for healthy skin function and help strengthen and protect the skin barrier over time.

Used daily, this dry skin treatment soothes feelings of tightness and discomfort, offering relief even for the driest skin.

For dry and redness-prone skin, we recommend the Soothing Petals Serum-Oleo. Enriched with macadamia, cotton, and sweet almond oil, it provides excellent nourishment and strengthens the skin's barrier. Combine it with the Soothing Cloud Cream to help maintain the skin's natural flora. Morning and evening, it moisturizes and acts as a true anti-stress skin treatment by calming feelings of discomfort and reducing irritation and redness.

When it comes to removing makeup and cleansing the skin, it's important to use gentle, soap-free cleansers to avoid damaging the skin and making it red. Choose cleansing milks or oils that respect the skin's balance, such as the Youth Cleansing Cream.
