Dehydrated Skin + Skin Barrier Tips! | Dry Skin Care + Winter Skincare

The aveeno gel moisturizer is AMAZING!!! It was like a hug for my skin

Hi Abbey I have super dry, eczema and rosacea prone skin that is always dehydrated. My moisture barrier is pretty much permanently impaired due to the eczema. I love Korean hydrating toners with ingredients like centella, propolis, green tea and snail for that deep hydration layered under serums, oils and creams to lock it in. There are so many alcohol and fragrance/EO free options to choose from. A few faves are: laneige cream skin refiner, cosrx propolis toner and snail filtrate essence, pyunkang yul essence toner, aqulabo kombucha toner and the t'iam vita b5 toner. A couple of Western option I enjoy are the geek and gorgeous hydrating panthenol toner and the FAB oat toner. Serums is where my active ingredients are and I use oils and cream for emollience and occlusives. I'm currently using the FAb ultra repair cream fyi during the day and the LRP lipikar balme at night. It is important to differentiate between dehydration and dryness - although they often go together. I basically don't produce sebum anymore in my dry post menopausal skin, so that oil has to be replaced to have any chance of maintaining my skin barrier. My skin soaks up oils/creams in a way oily skin just wouldn't and loves numerous layers. The Korean seven skin method of layering a hydrating toner multiple times really works on my skin, as do sheet masks. A few faves are Benton centella sheet mask, Klairs soothing sheet mask and the Illyoon ceramide ato sheet mask - all of which are fragrance free and very gentle. The other Benton masks are fine as are some other fragrance free options, but these three are my personal top picks. Best wishes.

Could you do a am and pm routine to fix dehydration xx

First off, let me just say that you should have WAY more followers than you do! Second, you don't know how happy I am that I found your channel. I have learned so much from your videos about my dry skin and what products to use! I use to get really overwhelmed going to the store trying to figure out what is good, what is bad, what does this do, what does that do? OMG...... It drove me nuts until I found your channel! Thank you for putting the time and effort into your videos! I now have a good skin care routine and working on my dry skin thanks to you!!!!! :)

Thanks for sharing! I wanted to share that I have oily dehydrated skin and found Elf's Jelly Moisturizer or Loreal's Water Gel Moisturizer are great for dehydrated skin since they are water based. My skin soaks it up and it does not make me oily. Oh also Wet n Wild's Rose Toner and Rose Primer Serum are great as well to use before makeup. Everything mentioned is super affordable to!

Can we please give a shout out to this girl for putting all the information and links in the description. Thank you so much. I’m in desperate need. Never had compromised skin till now. Lot of 😭

I’m almost certain that squalane is skin identical! Been using the one from TO for a few days now and I’m obsessed with it

There are so many products mentioned in this video that I love and use daily! The Aveeno gel moisturizer is the perfect day time moisturizer for oily skin. I love the La Roche Posay B5 baume for my cheeks and upper chest and spot hydrating like elbows. That item as well as the CeraVe healing ointment are awesome medicine cabinet staples for skin issues. I prefer the healing ointment over Aquaphor. Also, the Eucerin hand cream has urea which is great for nail health.

I know I'm a year late to this video, but the CeraVe Healing Ointment saved my skin this month. I use tretinoin, it's been cold and dry out and the furnace doesn't help. My face became very flaky and no matter how much moisturizer I was wearing, the flakes persisted. I watched some videos and many recommended the CeraVe ointment for my conditions. This ointment lifted off the flakes the very first night I applied it. Now I'm addicted to it. It feels so good. It's great for hands, too.

I have extremely dry chapped skin in the winter and I put the la Roche posay cicaplast balm on OVER my moisturizer on my whole face and I absolutely love it. It really helps my skin not get chapped from the weather or heating 😊

My fiance has normal skin and it's so frustrating! He can wash his face with body wash and not even use a moisturizer and his skin looks perfect. Like once a year he will get the smallest "pimple" ever. If you can even call it that. I have combo to more oily skin that's super acne prone and he just doesn't understand why I need a full on skin care regimen. I'm always like bae if I don't wash my face and use treatments and whatnot I'd be covered in painful cystic acne everywhere. He does help me with my back acne skincare though since he knows its difficult for me to reach. So that's super sweet. I'm trying to get him to at least do the basics. Like use a gentle face cleanser and a simple light weight moisturizer. Like the CerVa PM face lotion. He does work outside so after a few full on battles over sunscreen I won! He wears the biore rich watery essense. It's the only one he'll wear because it feels like nothing on the skin. I envy people with normal skin.

My skin is SUCH a ballache!!! I’m typically oily, but this time of year I get very dehydrated. Due to being oily, I’ve always reached for the typical ‘mattifying’, ‘oil control’ products, but nowadays I can’t use these, because it causes dehydration and makes me MORE oily!! 😔

Loved this video. I learned so much about ingredients and what they do (humectant, occlusive, soothing...). This will really help in making choices in the future. Thanks Abbey!

Love these recommendations Abbey. My skin type is dry and my skin is currently super dehydrated so it’s generally just having a moment 😇 I adore Panthenol so I’m very keen to try the Cosrx moisturiser! Cicaplast is a great one too.

The La Roche Posay cicabaum is so awesome for a damaged skin barrier. I can not recommend it enough. It has saved my face more times than I care to remember! 😆

Thank you so much for this! My skin is combination oily dehydrated skin. I'm a teenager and literally have a visible fine line on my forehead. There's not a lot of videos on youtube about dehydrated skin.

Several years ago I damaged my skin to the point that filtered water burned.I was basically on a burn routine with waterless cleaning and occlusives galore. Ever since then things haven't been the same.My barrier is stronger now but it is easier to disrupt it.

Have you done a review on the Laneige cream skin toner/moisturizer? If not I would love to see one!

Cetaphil has a new moisturizer that’s a gel cream and has a really nice texture. I got it because it is supposed to be soothing and is fragrance free. So far I really like it. I think it’s actually sold as body lotion but I use it on my face.

Thank you so much for this video! I would love a follow-up video showing both AM/PM routines on applying products to heal an impaired skin barrier! I’m not sure which order to apply the products you recommend or where in the order to apply the Ceravae healing ointment. 😊
