Building a Routine for Dry and Sensitive Skin
Dry skin can feel uncomfortable and often shows up as flaking, itching, or cracking. It occurs when the skin loses moisture too quickly, leading to dehydration.
Sensitive skin often stems from a weakened skin barrier. When lipid levels drop and the skin takes longer to repair after irritation, its protective function becomes compromised. This makes the skin more reactive to everyday triggers, leading to dryness, discomfort, and increased sensitivity.
Dry skin can be managed with everyday habits like using a gentle cleanser, applying moisturizer and using sunscreen regularly. Ready to build your routine? These 5 products are a great place to start:
1. Cleanser
A gentle, hydrating cleanser helps remove dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
TDF’s Non Drying Cleansing Lotion is a non-drying, gentle cleanser specially formulated for thorough cleansing of dry and sensitive skin. It contains moisture-binding ingredients to help keep your skin hydrated and radiant by preventing water loss. This gentle cleanser cleanses thoroughly while locking in moisture, resulting in softer, smoother skin after cleansing.
2. Toner
Toners are essential for rebalancing the skin’s pH after cleansing and enhancing the absorption of skincare products.
TDF’s Skin Freshener is a non-drying, alcohol-free toner that rebalances the skin’s natural pH, making it ideal for dry and sensitive skin. It also improves the absorption of treatment products and offers a gentle alternative for those sensitive to alcohol or acetone.
3. Moisturizer
Moisturizers are essential for dry and sensitive skin as they help restore hydration, soothe irritation, and strengthen the skin’s protective barrier.
TDF’s Light Textured Moisturizer is a non-comedogenic, lightweight, fragrance-free formula that delivers immediate and long-lasting hydration for normal to dry skin. It supports moisture retention and prevents dehydration, enhancing overall skin tone and texture.
4. Vitamin C Serum
Vitamin C helps brighten the skin and protect it from damage, while gently supporting hydration—making it a great choice for dry and sensitive skin.
TDF’s C-Scape+ Serum is a lightweight and stable form of Vitamin C that features a powerful antioxidant that protects against photodamage, premature aging, and skin discoloration. It deeply hydrates, enhances skin elasticity, and promotes a radiant complexion. Its alcohol-free, oil-free, and hypoallergenic formulation makes it suitable for sensitive skin.
5. Sunscreen
Excessive sun exposure can lead to sunburn, premature aging, dark spots, and increased skin cancer risk. It may also trigger rashes or worsen skin conditions. While skin has natural defences, they aren’t enough
to block harmful UV rays. Sunscreens help protect by forming a barrier against harmful UV rays, thereby supporting dry, sensitive skin and reducing flare-ups and moisture loss.
TDF’s Blu Voile Sunscreen offers broad-spectrum protection with SPF50 and PA+++, clinically proven to block over 90% of blue light to guard against photodamage and hyperpigmentation. Lightweight, oilfree, and enriched with skin conditioning agents, it hydrates, soothes, and enhances radiance—making it ideal for all skin types. Non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic for gentle daily use.
