What Is Dry Skin?

Dry skin makes the skin look and feel rough, itchy, flaky or scaly. It may be seasonal or chronic, and can affect anyone, though it's especially common during colder months. Also known as xerosis, it results from a lack of moisture in the skin’s outer layer.

Why Your Dry Skin Needs Facial Oils

Dry skin often lacks essential lipids that keep it soft and plump. Facial oils restore moisture, create a protective barrier, and reduce flakiness. Unlike heavy creams, they absorb deeply and nourish the skin from within.

Deep Hydration

Facial oils penetrate deeply to restore moisture levels.

Barrier Repair

They replenish lipids to strengthen your skin’s barrier.

Soothing Irritation

Calming oils reduce redness and inflammation.

Boost Radiance

Consistent use leaves your skin soft, smooth, and glowing.

How to Use HotChi Facial Oils for Dry Skin

1. Cleanse Gently

Use a hydrating cleanser to remove impurities without stripping your skin.

2. Breathe

Warm 2–3 drops of facial oil between your palms. Hold hands near your face and inhale deeply. This resets your nervous system and promotes skin healing.

3. Massage

Gently press the oil into your skin using upward, circular motions. Add more if needed.

Facial oils can replace moisturisers for some, but layering a lightweight moisturizer over the oil ensures optimal hydration.
