Dry, itchy, flaky skin ruining your glow? You're not alone—and you’re definitely not powerless. At Haute & Chic, we believe in skincare that blends science and luxury, giving your skin what it needs to feel soothed, hydrated, and protected.

In this blog, we’ll cover:

• What causes dry skin

• How to identify it

• Our dermatologist-tested routine to calm and treat it

• Key Haute & Chic products to support dry skin

💡 What Really Causes Dry Skin?

There’s no single reason. Genetics, weather, hot water, harsh products, or low humidity can all play a role.

Here’s the key difference:

• Dry skin lacks oil (a chronic condition)

• Dehydrated skin lacks water (a temporary state)

Dry skin needs regular care with oil-restoring, barrier-protecting products. That’s where our Haute & Chic line comes in—gentle, nourishing, and effective.

🔍 Signs You Might Have Dry Skin

Dry skin doesn’t always look dry. Watch out for:

• Tightness after washing

• Visible flaking or redness

• Rough or dull appearance

• Increased sensitivity

Try this: Gently rub your skin—if flakes appear or it turns red easily, dryness might be the culprit.

💧 Your Step-by-Step Routine to Soothe Dry Skin

Step 1: Hydrate Gently

Start your routine with a non-stripping cleanser. Try our:

🧴 Gentle Hydrating Cleanser

• Cleanses without over-drying

• Maintains the skin’s natural moisture

• Perfect for daily use, even on sensitive skin

Follow with a toner (avoid alcohol-based ones) and hydrate with water-rich serums.

Step 2: Moisturise & Lock It In

Layer your products properly to trap moisture.

🌤️ Everyday UV Clear Sunscreen SPF 55+

Step 3: Add Antioxidants & Brighteners

Even dry skin deserves brightness!

🧼 Vitamin C + B3 Brightening Facewash

• Gently exfoliates without drying

• Evens skin tone and supports cell renewal

• Brightens dull, flaky skin

Use this 2–3 times a week for smooth, radiant results.

🚿 Smart Skincare Habits for Dry Skin

• Avoid hot water: Use lukewarm water, and limit showers to 10 minutes

• Drink plenty of water: Hydration starts inside

• Skip harsh foaming products: Say no to SLS, alcohol, and synthetic fragrance

• Use sulfate-free, alcohol-free formulas: All Haute & Chic products are designed with this in mind

🥗 Diet Support for Skin Hydration

Boost your skin from the inside out:

• Add Omega-3, 6 & 9 fatty acids (via fish, nuts, seeds, or supplements)

• Cut back on processed sugar and caffeine

• Stay hydrated all day

Your skin is a mirror of what you eat—treat it with care.

🧽 Don’t Forget to Exfoliate

Dry skin often flakes in clusters, blocking absorption of other products. Exfoliate 2–3 times a week with a gentle exfoliant or soft cloth to:

• Remove dead skin cells

• Smooth rough patches

• Allow serums and moisturisers to work better
