6 Common Dry Skin Mistakes

Tired of feeling like a scaly lizard? Don’t worry, we have been there! Founder, Pontine Paus started Dr.Lipp because she struggled with her eczema and was in desperate need of relief.  

We’ve got your back, front and everywhere really! Let's dive into the top 6 dry skin mistakes people make and how to avoid them and get your skin feeling smooth and hydrated, shall we? 

Mistake 1: Over-exfoliating 

Think exfoliating will solve your dry skin problem? Think again! While a little scrub can do wonders, going overboard will end up stripping your skin's protective layer and leaving it feeling even more dry. 

Avoidance tip: Limit exfoliation to 1-2 times a week and choose a gentle exfoliant. Don't be a scrub-a-dub-dub fiend; be gentle with your skin! 

Mistake 2: Using harsh cleansers 

The truth is using harsh cleansers strip your skin of your natural oils.  

Avoidance tip: Opt for sulfate-free cleansers that are gentle on your skin. Our All Ways cleanser is like a spa day for your face, minus the price tag. 

Mistake 3: Not Moisturizing 

Your skin needs all the hydration it can get. Salma Hayek, believes moisturising is the best thing you can do for your skin “I don’t wash my face in the morning — never, never, never. I never wash my face in the morning, I think it’s bad for your skin — I just moisturize. I really wash my face at night.”  

Avoidance tip: Our BFF moisturizer is like a superhero for dry skin. It's rich, hydrating, and will leave your skin feeling soft and supple for up to 8 hours. 

Mistake 4: Ignoring hydration 

Your skin is like a plant - it needs water to thrive! Dehydration can leave your skin looking dull and feeling dry. 

Avoidance tip: Drink plenty of water and eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Your skin will thank you! 

Mistake 5: Hot Showers 

Hot showers might feel good, but they're like a sauna for your skin, stripping away natural oils and leaving it feeling parched. 

Avoidance tip: Opt for lukewarm showers and keep them short. Pat your skin dry instead of rubbing it vigorously. 

Mistake 6: Overusing Products 

Think more products mean better results? Not always! Using too many products can irritate your skin and make it even drier. 

Avoidance tip: Keep it simple, gorgeous.
