If you live with dry skin I’m sure you understand how important it is to hydrate and moisturise from head to toe. Sometimes no matter how well you take care of your diet and body the dryness persists, from split ends to dry lips and the feet. In this case, your beauty routine needs ultra-hydrating products to parch that thirsty skin. While nobody likes a dull and lacklustre surface, when the moisture barrier becomes fragile it can have even worse consequences. If not taken care of in time it can lead to aches, pains or even to the complete opposite of producing way too much oil to compensate, which creates another hurdle of issues.
The point of the story is to keep your skin on track and pay attention to every part of your body including the knees and elbows. We understand it can be super frustrating to find products that suit you with a myriad of choices available. But never fear, we’ve got you, girl! Look no further than our round-up tried and tested moisture-rich products to drench every inch of your body in.
Keeping scrolling to check some of the best thirst-quenching products that will keep your dry skin hydrated:
1. Briogeo, Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Hair Mask
If you’re looking for an award-winning hair mask that lives up to its hype look no further. This lightweight, ultra-nourishing mask moisturises, smooths and detangles dry damaged hair. It packs a powerful punch with ingredients like rosehip, sweet almond, avocado oils, biotin, and algae extract. They all work to moisturize and repair weak or damaged hair, giving it some much needed TLC.
2. Moroccan Oil, Treatment Original
This is one product or brand you must have encountered at some point in your life, in a magazine or hair salon. The immense popularity of this blue labelled bottle is well earned and for good reason. The oil is a rich conditioning treatment that’s great for frizz-prone and damaged hair. It’s fast-absorbing, non-greasy and adds shine while strengthening the hair at the same time. While most commonly used as a styling and finishing tool you can even use as a deeply hydrating treatment before shampooing your hair.
3. Kiehl’s, Creamy Eye Treatment
Who knew avocado was so good for your skin as well, especially around the eyes! This thick creamy formula has avocado oil and shea butter as its primary ingredients to hydrate under eyes. But due to its moisture thick formula, a little goes a long way to brighten any dullness over time. Best part? It’s Ophthalmologist and Dermatologist-tested and has zero irritation for the sensitive eye area
4. Origins, Drink Up Intensive Overnight Hydrating Mask
If you haven’t heard of overnight masks before let us introduce you. They are super easy and effective to use. All you really need to do is simply substitute your regular bedtime cream and apply on cleansed face. Tissue off any excess, and go off to bed. This mask is super hydrating and the creamy formulation is loaded with skin-loving natural ingredients like avocado and mineral-rich swiss glacial water to nourish the skin while you sleep. Even better is that it’s formulated without any parabens or SLS.
5. Clinique, Moisture Surge
The moisture surge range from Clinique has literally been featured everywhere, slowly gaining cult status over time. This gel-based moisturiser’s auto-replenishing technology keeps the skin continuously rehydrating itself throughout the day. Recently been reformulated, the new version delivers twice as much hydration from its previous formula with ingredients such as aloe and hyaluronic acid. Moreover, it’ll keep your skin moisturised without clogging your pores.
6. Laneige, Lip Sleeping Mask
Another product that’s won several beauty awards, you can’t go wrong with the Laneige lip mask. Even though it is designed to use overnight you can use a thin layer to get you through the day too! Infused with ingredients high in antioxidants and vitamin C it also contains a proprietary technology known as moisture wrap. All together they work to hydrate and repair dry, cracked lips. While not cheap, a little goes a long way and you’ll notice a visible difference after just one use.
7. Jergens, Ultra Healing Lotion
We all love a good body butter but sometimes your skin is screaming for more than it can give. Jergens has an extensive range of moisturisers that are amazing with the Daily Moisturising Lotion being a big favourite for dry skin. But if you need something a little extra, the Ultra Healing Lotion it’s a great pick. It gets absorbed deep into the skin’s layers and keeps it nourished for almost 24 hours. Moreover, it’s works wonders for your heels, elbows and knees as well.
8. L’Occitane, Shea Butter Hand Cream
Infused with shea butter, honey and sweet almond extract this rich formula feels as luxurious as the packaging. Another product where a little goes a long way but is absorbed quickly into the skin, so you’re not roaming around with sticky hands. It’s one cream product that’s become more necessary than ever with the constant hand washing and sanitising that’s drying our hands out.
9. Palmers, Cocoa Butter Formula With Vitamin E Foot Magic
Enriched with Vitamin E and other natural emollients the Palmer’s Foot Magic provides a deep penetrating treatment for rough dry feet. Dry or calloused feet are not pretty especially when you’re wearing some gorgeous sandals and your feet need to look A-plus. This product has more of a balmy texture unlike a lotion or body butter and intensively soothes the tired skin, getting rid of rough dry patches instantly. Apply this on your feet and pop on a pair of socks overnight for best results.
