Dry skin tends to be more sensitive because the protective acid mantle and barrier function aren't as healthy as normal skin, because of the lack of needed lipids. (good oils) The texture of dry skin can be rough and feel very tight. It may appear to be thin and, in some cases, small blood capillaries can be seen near the surface of the dermis.

Dry skin is different, too, than dehydrated skin. Dehydrated skin lacks water. Dry skin lacks oil. The focus of professional-grade dry skin treatment systems is to incorporate occlusive (oil based) products to help increase oil production and promote residual protection.

At Skin Trends, our three-step skin care treatment systems are designed to rejuvenate dull, dry and tired skin by combating dryness with antioxidant-rich emollient products. Treatment systems are formulated to clean, correct and protect the focused areas while providing the needed agents to promote sebaceous oil production and restore the skin's protective barrier mantle.

First, our professional-level cleaners combine high-quality ingredients to effectively remove dirt and makeup while quenching the skin with essential vitamins. This also facilitates the body's heathy skin-cell-renewal process.

Secondly, our correctors combine antioxidants, humectants (moisture retainers) and amino acids to improve immune function and reduce transepidermal water loss.

Finally, our high-quality protectors help the dermis hydrate, replacing moisture lost throughout the day, and through cleaning and correction processes. Additionally, high-grade sun-inhibiting ingredients protect skin from the sun's harmful UVA/UVB rays that, over time, cause cellular damage in skin.

Our Dry Skin Treatment Systems are the highest quality, most effective solutions for everyday skin care.
