Dryness & Dehydration
Kheenchi hui, khushk skin.
Dry skin needs both water (hyaluronic acid) and comfort (ceramides). Prefer a water rinse in the morning, Hydra Glow Serum, and the Hydrating Moisturiser — not a retinol night cream.
Three common causes.
Cold, dry Punjab winters strip skin. Layer a humectant serum + a richer moisturiser.
Over-washing and strong acids strip natural oils. Keep mornings to a water rinse when skin feels tight.
One moisturiser isn't enough. Serum + moisturiser is the reliable combination.

Products that fit this routine.
A few gentle rules.
- Apply serum on damp skin — it holds more water.
- In winter, moisturise within 60 seconds of cleansing.
- Skip hot water washes — lukewarm only.
- Hydra Glow Cream is a retinol treatment, not a dry-skin moisturiser — don't use it as your daily seal.
