When taking your outer beauty approach and creating your skincare rituals for dry skin the goal is to improve the skin’s moisture barrier and use products specifically formulated to add moisture into the skin. Dry skin can also result in sensitivity, dullness, and lead to signs of aging like fine lines. Generally, we experience dryer skin in the colder months like fall and winter and sometimes our skin is genetically on the dry side due to our sebaceous glands producing less oil than an oily or combination skin type. Without sufficient sebum production, our skin lacks the lipids needed to retain moisture.
I put together a morning and evening skincare ritual containing products specifically formulated for dry skin. These are clean skincare products from the Glo Skin Beauty line that are vegan, cruelty free, and free of artificial fragrance, parabens, sulfates, and phthalates.

Bonus Tip
Make your skincare rituals a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Light a couple of candles, run an essential oil defuser, put on some light jazz, and fill your sink with some warm water and herbs that benefit dry/sensitive skin like (lavender, chamomile, calendula, and mint) and do some facial compresses while removing your mask.
Facials
The best facials at citron for dry skin are the Winter Solstice Facial and Glo Ageless Beauty Facial. A facial with an infrared sauna session (included with facial) once per month is recommended to achieve the best inner and outer results. Customized skincare recommendations from your esthetician are included with every facial.
