While dry skin might seem inevitable, sometimes it can take more than just moisturizing. Even though we moisturize and use several serums and creams we apply, dry skin remains parched without the benefits of gentle exfoliation, high-quality skincare and proper application. Keep reading for three key tips that keep your skin hydrated!

3 Go-to Tips to Keep your Skin Hydrated

1. Prepare Your Dry Skin to Take in the Moisture

Just like skin prep before makeup application, you need to do the proper skin preparation for your skin to take in moisture. Face Toners are a must-have prep step in any routine, especially to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. Hydrating serums and moisturizers can not reach the skin if blocked by dead skin cells!

DANUCERA
D22 TONIC

This award-winning toner is known as the complexion perfector, not only for its acne-reducing benefits but for its nourishing properties as well. D22 contains birch water extract, also called birch sap or birch juice which is used to hydrate, soothe, starve off inflammation and encourage collagen growth. In addition, the grape flower cell extract works to reconstruct damaged or broken skin tissue, reduce redness and strengthen the skin barrier. D22 Tonic can be used both morning and night for gentle exfoliation, tightening and luminous skin.
