Skincare Your Skin Will Love

Face cream, balm and oil for dry, tight skin

Skin feels at ease when its barrier is intact. Wind, sun, dry office air and heating all pull moisture from it, and a tight, flaky or reactive complexion is usually the first sign. Comforting care does not need many steps: a gentle cleanse, a cream that holds water, and a balm or oil where skin needs more.

Start with a cleanser that removes sunscreen and make-up without stripping, such as the balm cleanser from Routinely. Then one of our face creams: Dublin Herbalists’ Regenerating Day Cream by day, its Regenerating Night Cream in the evening. On dry patches, press in a little of SOWE Botanic Lab’s prickly pear and argan oil, or seal everything with a protective balm.

A gua sha stone, used with a little oil, turns the last step into a short massage.
