Dry & Dull Skin

Dry skin is a skin type and is often overlooked depending on its severity. Some people who have a milder form of dry skin would only have dry, rough patches on their skin that can cause a duller skin tone. Dry skin can normally be managed by adding moisture on the affected area.

We’ve formulated products to address dry skin as a skin type and dehydrated skin as a skin condition using nourishing ingredients such as aloe vera, niacinamide, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, crambe seed oil and shea butter to help boost skin moisture.

Dry Skin 101

Dry skin may present as rough skin that may be cracked, scaly or flaky. Dry skin may also present as tight and may appear lighter or darker than your normal skin tone, making your skin look dull. For more severe cases, dry skin can be accompanied by an itch or inflammation.

To address dry skin, you need to look for humectants such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin in your skincare. Also look out for occlusives such as jojoba oil or crambe seed oil to prevent moisture loss. For a softer look and feel, look out for emollients such as shea butter and coconut oil in your skincare.

At Poko, we’ve formulated products that are focused on hydrating your skin at its core as one of its main functions while having secondary functions to help manage other skin issues.

There are a number of factors that can cause dry skin, from taking hot showers to cold, dry weather to using harsh skin products that can strip oils from your skin to smoking to a vitamin deficiency. Sometimes you can also get dry skin from using acne treatments. The likes of salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide can be drying on the skin. Air or heat can also dry out your skin.

Other causes of dry skin include our body’s natural ageing process where our skin produces less sebum and certain skin conditions such as psoriasis or eczema.

Treatment for dry skin must be focused on putting hydration back into the skin and bringing moisture back. To help with this, people with dry skin need to moisturise. Using a moisturiser throughout the day and also in the evening can help soften and smooth out skin.

To prevent your skin from getting dry or dryer, make sure to protect yourself in cold or windy weather. These conditions are harsh on your skin and it will dry your skin out so cover up and make sure you apply a generous amount of moisturiser to keep your skin moisturised.

Dry skin is a skin type just like oily or combination skin whereas dehydrated skin is a skin condition which you develop due to your diet and lifestyle choices. Your skin lacks oil when you have dry skin whereas with dehydrated skin, it lacks water. Normally, for you to address dehydrated skin, you must also look after your diet, sleep and water intake.

Only if you leave it untreated. But other than that, they are not a cause for concern. Sometimes if dry skin is severe and is left untreated, it can cause your skin to have cracks and possibly bleed. These can cause infections.

Make sure to speak to a doctor if you have the following symptoms as having dry skin can also indicate a deeper medical condition:
