Say Bye to Dry With These 5 Hydrating Skin Products

Living in the Middle East can wreak havoc on skin, with constant exposure to AC, extreme heat and desert air leading to dry, dull, dehydrated complexions. Not ideal.

Dry skin lacks oil and feels rough, dry and flaky, but if your face feels tight, lacks lustre and shows accelerated signs of ageing (wrinkles and fine lines), it’s dehydrated and lacking in water. Both result in dull, dreary complexions and can add years to your face, so it’s time to fix it – fast.

These hydrating heroes are the next best thing to giving thirsty skin a big glass of water.

1. Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Cream

This potent cream provides skin with continuous hydration for a whopping 72 hours, thanks to its formula rich in hyaluronic acid (which is a humectant, meaning it attracts and binds to moisture) and moisturising ceramides. Skin is left soft, supple and perfectly plump.

2. Odacité Pomegranate Rose Geranium Facial Serum Concentrate

Bursting with nourishing botanical extracts and reparative vitamin E, this all-natural oil strengthens the skin barrier, replenishes moisture and combats the discomfort caused by cellular dehydration, all without a chemical in sight.
