Dry skin isn’t just a winter thing. It’s your skin telling you its protective barrier is weak and can’t hold onto moisture. Flaking, tightness, even redness — all signs your barrier needs backup.
The good news? Science is on your side. Ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and squalane are clinically proven to lock in hydration and restore barrier strength. And SPF? Even more important here — sun damage makes dryness worse and accelerates irritation.
At Henkey’s, we break it into two options:
-
The Baseline Routine → simple, no-frills hydration and protection.
-
The Elevated Routine → barrier tech + advanced actives designed for lasting comfort and resilience.
Why These Steps Work
Cleanser: Harsh cleansers strip the oils your skin actually needs. A gentle, hydrating cleanser sets the tone.
Moisturizer: Ingredients like ceramides and squalane repair the skin barrier so hydration doesn’t just evaporate.
SPF: UV damage = more dryness and inflammation. Sunscreen isn’t optional.
Overnight Repair: Peptides and bio-retinols rebuild while you sleep without overdrying.
Face Oil: Occlusive oils like jojoba and avocado seal hydration in, giving relief you can feel instantly.
Baseline Routine (5 Steps)
Cleanser (AM/PM) → Gentle wash that clears without stripping.
Try: Jackfir Daily Facial Cleanser(refreshing + non-drying).
Hydrating Serum (AM/PM) → Locks in moisture and strengthens barrier.
Try: Heath Protect Serum (Pollustop + Prebiulin FOS to hydrate and protect).
Moisturizer (AM/PM) → Soothe and replenish all day.
Try: Jackfir Classic Daily Face Moisturizer (lightweight hydration + repair).
Overnight Mask (PM) → Recovery mode while you sleep.
Try: Comune Revitalize Overnight Mask (deep hydration + skin renewal).
Body Hydration (Daily) → Don’t stop at your face — restore moisture everywhere.
Try: Blu Atlas Body Lotion (lightweight, nutrient-rich hydration).
BUT IT NOW
Optional Add-On: Heath Shower Mask — a weekly reset you can use right in the shower.
Elevated Routine (5 Steps)
Cleanser (AM/PM) → Engineered for hydration from the start.
Try: Patricks FW1 Cell Regenerating Foaming Cleanser (aloe + green tea extract for calm hydration).
Moisturizer (AM/PM) → Advanced barrier tech.
Try: Patricks AM1 Anti-Aging Moisturizer
Why elevated? Ceramides + hyaluronic acid blend to trap hydration at multiple layers of the skin. Peptides support long-term barrier resilience, not just short-term comfort.
Daytime SPF (AM) → Don’t skip this: even deeply hydrating skin needs UV defence.
Try: Cardon Daily SPF + Moisturizer — lightweight, broad-spectrum protection in a smooth formula.
Overnight Repair (PM) → Powerful but gentle renewal.
Try: Blu Atlas Overnight Recovery Bio-Retinol Stick
Why elevated? Bio-retinol + bakuchiol deliver collagen support and wrinkle reduction without irritation, critical for dry skin types.
Optional Face Oil (PM) → Occlusive finishing step.
Try: Patricks FS1 Oil Upgrade
Why elevated? High-grade squalane mimics skin’s natural lipids for deep, lasting softness without clogging pores.
Bottom Line
Dryness isn’t just about comfort — it’s about skin health. Baseline gets you hydrated and protected. Elevated invests in barrier-repairing ingredients (ceramides, hyaluronic acid, peptides, squalane) that transform skin long-term. Either way, consistency is what keeps dryness from coming back.
