Dry Skin - Your Skin is Thirsty for Moisture

Miss Angola 2011
Dr. Baumann does it again with skin care tips for those that suffer with dry skin like my self.

Through no fault of your own, your skin’s barrier has a problem keeping moisture in—hence your “Dry” skin. You’re certainly no stranger to giving your skin hefty doses of hydration morning and night, but you can treat yourself—and your skin—to a moisture mask, which goes a long way for keeping skin soft, supple and comfortable.




Moisture masks do more than simply infuse your skin with moisture—and they can actually help repair your skin’s barrier so it works better. These masks are rich in the fats your skin needs to keep moisture in and irritants out, and help improve the overall condition of your skin. When selecting a mask, you can also look for ingredients that will help with other skin conditions such as inflammation and even pigment, so read labels carefully—or choose one of our top picks.


Vivite Replenish Hydrating Cream: OK, this isn’t technically a mask, but a nice thick layer at bedtime will leave you with soft, comfortable skin come morning.


First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream: Another heavy-duty moisturizer that can double as a mask, this thick, emollient-rich cream penetrates deep down to hydrate dry skin at the source.


MD Formulations Moisture Defense Antioxidant Treatment Masque: With green tea to shield your skin from free radicals and glycolic acid to smooth rough texture, this masks protects and perfects.


Alchimie Forever Kantic Mask: In addition to much-needed moisture, this treatment contains botanically based brightening ingredients to help fade discoloration.


Kate Somerville Quench Hydrating Mask: This mask contains soothing willow herb and cucumber to quell irritation and inflammation.


Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Cream Mask: A true multitasker, this mask contains antioxidant grapeseed oil, super-hydrating squalane and skin-brightening citric acid.
