Ritual for Dry Skin
Dry skin requires nourishment, lasting hydration, and support for the skin barrier to help restore comfort, softness, and resilience.
Whether caused by environmental stressors, seasonal changes, dehydration, or the natural ageing process, dry skin benefits from formulations designed to replenish moisture while protecting the skin from further moisture loss.
At Matinata, we combine deeply hydrating botanical ingredients with nutrient-rich plant oils, essential fatty acids, and antioxidant-rich actives selected to support the skin’s natural barrier and restore healthy-looking radiance.
Our thoughtfully formulated rituals help soften dryness, improve skin comfort and elasticity, and leave the complexion feeling calm, supple, and beautifully replenished over time.
0. Understanding the Skin Barrier
Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) is the natural evaporation of water from the outermost layer of the skin. TEWL is often a reflection of the strength and health of the skin barrier. Lipids within the upper layers of the skin help maintain hydration and prevent moisture loss, with linoleic acid playing an especially important role in supporting barrier function.
Adequate hydration and a balanced diet support both overall well-being and skin health. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids may help support the skin’s natural lipid barrier. During colder months, using a humidifier can help counteract dryness caused by indoor heating. Limiting excessive caffeine and other dehydrating beverages may also help maintain skin hydration. And never underestimate the importance of rest — there is a reason it is called beauty sleep.
1. Every Ritual Starts With Cleansing
In the evening: apply 2–3 pumps of re. purify cleansing oil onto dry skin and massage gently. Wet your hands and continue massaging until a milky emulsion forms, then rinse with lukewarm water. You can also use the face towel method by soaking a towel in warm water, wringing it out, and gently wiping away impurities. Finish by splashing the face with cool water and patting dry.
In the morning, we recommend skipping a full cleanse. Instead, rinse the skin with lukewarm water followed by a few splashes of cool water to help awaken the skin and support healthy microcirculation.
2. Misting Brings It All Together
Complete your cleansing ritual with re. balance face mist. There is a reason for this step — facial mist helps improve the absorption of serums and creams applied afterward. With biocompatible moisturising ingredients, it also delivers a light layer of hydration to help prevent dehydration and support balanced skin.
Spray 2–3 pumps evenly over the face for an instant boost of freshness and hydration. Use morning and evening, or anytime throughout the day whenever your skin needs a refresh.
3. Healthy Skin Starts With Hydration
In the morning, while the skin is still damp, apply 2 drops of re. hydrate water serum and gently press into the skin. Follow with a pea-sized amount of re. nourish active complete moisturiser and massage into the face, neck, and décolleté using upward movements.
In the evening, combine 2 drops of re. hydrate serum with 3–4 drops of re. glow oil serum in the palm of your hand and massage gently into the skin using upward movements. Close your eyes and breathe in the calming aroma of the pure essential oils.
Do not forget the neck and décolleté.
