Dry Skin

Tightness, flakiness and rough patches

Dry skin does not make enough natural oil to hold on to moisture, so it feels tight after washing, looks flaky and shows fine lines sooner. Hot water, harsh soaps and winter air make it worse. The fix is simple: cleanse gently, moisturise while skin is still damp, and seal it in with a nourishing oil.

Our pick for you: Rupanjali Sea Buckthorn Oil – 100% Pure Omega-7 Face & Skin Oil, 10 ml

Your Rupanjali routine

What causes dry skin?

  • Hot showers and soaps that strip natural oils
  • Cold, dry winter air and long hours in AC
  • Age, as oil production naturally slows

The Rupanjali approach

Sea Buckthorn Nourishing Oil is 100 percent pure sea buckthorn oil, rich in omega-7, that helps moisturise dry skin and support its natural barrier. The PM Face Cream, with chandan, ushira and beeswax, nourishes 30+ skin overnight, and the PM Oil softens and moisturises in the evening. Our Rice and Aloe Vera Massage Creams make a soothing face massage for dry, tired-looking skin.

A simple daily routine

  1. Morning: gentle cleanse with lukewarm water, moisturise on damp skin, sunscreen.
  2. Night: PM Face Cream, then press a few drops of Sea Buckthorn Oil or PM Oil on top.
  3. Weekly: a 10 minute face massage with Rice or Aloe Vera Massage Cream.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my skin feel tight after washing?
Harsh soaps, hot water and over-cleansing strip natural oils and weaken the skin barrier. Use a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water, and moisturise within a minute of washing.
Is a face oil enough on its own for dry skin?
Oils seal moisture in but do not add water. Apply a cream or lotion on slightly damp skin first, then press in a few drops of oil.
How can I prevent dry skin in winter?
Switch to a richer cream, avoid very hot showers, drink enough water and add a facial oil at night.
Can dry skin cause early fine lines?
Yes. Dehydrated skin shows fine lines more easily. Keeping skin well moisturised keeps it plumper and smoother.
