Dry, flaky, itchy skin that feels like it belongs on a desert lizard instead of you? We’ve all been there. Let’s fix it. Here’s a step-by-step guide to transforming your skin from rough and patchy to smooth, hydrated, and radiant.

Step 1: Urea 10% for Dry, Flaky Skin

For skin that’s perpetually dry and shedding like a snowstorm, La Roche-Posay Urea 10% is a game-changer. Urea gently exfoliates while deeply hydrating, making flaky skin a thing of the past. It’s perfect for those days when your skin feels tight, itchy, and just plain uncomfortable.

Step 2: Niacinamide for Loose, Pigmented Skin

If your skin isn’t just dry but also loose or uneven in tone, niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is your hero. Niacinamide does triple duty by creating essential skin proteins like filaggrin, keratin, and involucrin, which help your skin bind together and maintain its structure. It also evens out pigmentation, leaving your skin looking smooth and balanced.

• Morning Pick: Use a 5% niacinamide solution for gentle toning.
• Evening Boost: Try a 10% niacinamide solution for maximum skin repair overnight.

Step 3: Add a Splash of Squalane

Dry skin isn’t just flaky; it’s often parched. Squalane delivers deep, long-lasting hydration without feeling greasy. It’s especially great for skin that’s tight or sensitive.

Step 4: Seal it with Dimethicone

Lock in all that goodness with dimethicone, a silicone-based ingredient that forms a protective barrier over your skin. This keeps moisture in and irritants out, making your skin feel velvety smooth.

Bonus: Double Moisture for Heavenly Skin

Top everything off with Double Moisture Face Repair, a lightweight base that hydrates without clogging pores. It’s perfect for your morning routine, leaving your skin ready for makeup or just a fresh-faced glow.

The Results:

• No more flaky skin
• Balanced skin tone
• Hydration that lasts all day
• Smooth, supple texture

Say goodbye to lizard skin and hello to heavenly hydration. Your skin deserves this glow-up!
