How to Care for Dry Skin

Dry skin woman

Dry skin occurs when your skin fails to produce sufficient natural oils (sebum), resulting in its inability to retain moisture or protect itself from environmental stress. Whether it’s seasonal or chronic, dry skin can feel tight, uncomfortable, and sensitive—but it can be dramatically improved with the right products and daily care.

Common signs of dry skin:

  • Tight or rough-feeling skin
  • Flaky texture and dull tone
  • Fine lines due to a lack of moisture
  • Inflammation and sensitivity
  • Reduced elasticity

What causes dry skin?

Weather: Wind, sun, and cold air can strip moisture from your skin. Using a rich, plant-based moisturizer daily helps retain hydration and strengthens your skin barrier.

Indoor Heat: Central heating may feel cozy, but it dries out the air—and your skin. A humidifier can help replace lost moisture in your environment.

Hot Showers: Long, hot showers may relax you, but they also strip your skin of its natural oils. Use gentle, non-drying cleansers and apply a deeply hydrating cream immediately afterward.

Genetics: If dry skin runs in your family, you’re more likely to experience it. The good news is that choosing the right skincare can make a major difference in both comfort and appearance.

Aging: As we age, our skin produces fewer oils and loses its ability to hold onto hydration. This leads to fine lines, dullness, and increased sensitivity.

Harsh Ingredients: Products with alcohol, fragrance, or water as the first ingredient can dry out and irritate the skin. Choose aloe-based, plant-powered formulas that replenish and protect your moisture barrier.

How to treat dry skin effectively:

Choosing a skincare routine tailored to your skin type is essential. GUNILLA® products are expertly formulated for dry, aging, and sensitive skin, utilizing over 60% organic aloe vera and clinically proven botanicals.

  • Use a plant-based, non-foaming cleanser that won’t strip natural oils. Try our GUNILLA® Herbal Face Wash.
  • Apply an alcohol-free, aloe-based toner to hydrate and prep your skin after cleansing.
  • Exfoliate gently 1–2 times per week to smooth texture and improve absorption of moisturizers.
  • Incorporate a nutrient-rich serum to deliver deep hydration and antioxidants. Our GUNILLA® Hyaluronic Acid & Ginseng Serum and Cell Rejuvenator Serum™ help lock in moisture and boost radiance.
  • Moisturize twice daily with GUNILLA® Ceramide Cream A17™, formulated with ceramides, jojoba oil, and 17 high-performance botanicals in an aloe-based cream that hydrates without feeling greasy.
  • Use a humidifier in colder months to reduce environmental dryness.
  • Keep baths and showers short, using warm—not hot—water to preserve natural moisture.

Why our Ceramide Cream works better

Jojoba oil is known for its ability to mimic skin’s natural sebum—but used alone, it can feel greasy and occlusive. In our Ceramide Cream A17™, jojoba oil is expertly blended with over 60% organic aloe vera and 16 other active botanicals. This unique formula allows for fast absorption, weightless hydration, and long-lasting moisture without the heaviness. Aloe acts as a natural carrier that helps deliver the benefits of jojoba oil deeper into the skin—reducing shine and preventing that slick, oily feeling common in oil-based moisturizers.
