What helps dry skin?
Gentle care that repairs your skin barrier and locks moisture in. Avoid harsh foaming cleansers and hot showers, give your skin a hydrating layer such as a toner, and finish with nourishing plant oils and a rich day or night cream. The answer is not more product but the right ones, used gently and consistently.
Dry skin often feels tight, becomes easily irritated, and shows fine lines more quickly. But dryness is not permanent: with the right care and nutrition, your skin can feel supple, hydrated, and comfortable again.At Abloom, we believe that healthy skin starts with pure, bioactive nutrition, both inside and out. Our formulas work with your skin, not against it, helping to gently but effectively restore its moisture balance.
switching to organic skincare
Some conventional products contain mineral oil, which can block pores and affect your skin’s natural detox process. When you switch to organic skincare, you might notice some breakouts at first. Don't panic, this is just your skin adjusting and rebalancing. It’s temporary, and your complexion will soon feel calm, clear, and healthy again.
What causes dry skin
Why does your skin feel dry and itchy? Dryness occurs when the skin lacks sufficient oil (sebum) and/or the ability to retain moisture. Causes include:
- Harsh cleansers or over-cleansing (stripping away sebum).
- Hot showers and dry air (air conditioning, heating).
- Mineral oils in cosmetics (occlusive/suffocating to the skin).
- Insufficient healthy fats in your diet.
- Hormonal changes or ageing (reduced sebum production).
- Excessive sun exposure.
- Stress and lack of sleep
Note: Dry skin is not the same as dehydrated skin. Dryness is a lack of oil, while dehydration is a lack of water. Our bioactive formulas address both.

Nutrition for healthy skin
Your skin is the only organ you can nourish from both the inside and the outside. So it is advisable to adjust your diet as well.
Eat more: Oily fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines) or algae oil, rich in omega 3. Avocado, walnuts, chia, and flax seeds. Antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables (berries, bell peppers, kale) Fermented foods (sauerkraut, kefir, kimchi) to support gut flora. Water and herbal teas for internal hydration
Limit or avoid: Foods high in omega 6 (sunflower, corn, and soy oils, fast food). Excess sugar (accelerates collagen breakdown). Excess caffeine and alcohol (dehydrate the skin)

Dry skin lacks enough oil (sebum) and/or struggles to hold on to moisture. Common causes are harsh cleansers or over-cleansing, hot showers and dry air from heating or air conditioning, mineral oils in cosmetics, too few healthy fats in your diet, hormonal changes or ageing, too much sun, and stress and lack of sleep.
Cleanse gently (avoid harsh foaming cleansers), then apply a hydrating layer and a nourishing oil, and avoid hot showers. Consistency matters more than speed; you usually see a difference within 7 to 10 days.
Dry skin lacks oil (sebum); dehydrated skin lacks water. Dry skin needs nourishing oils and rich creams, while dehydrated skin mainly needs hydration. Our bioactive formulas address both.
Cold air, wind and indoor heating lower humidity, so skin loses moisture faster. Choose a richer routine in winter and give your skin extra protection.
