Revive Mummy Skin

3 Tips to Restore Dehyrated Skin

Did you know that, on average, we lose between 300-400 ml of water per day through our skin? With that much water loss, it’s no wonder that our skin can resemble a mummy: tight, dehydrated, and rough! Fortunately, Gattefossé has you covered this Halloween with three tips for restoring dehydrated skin so you can slay your holiday makeup look.

Tip #1 - Gently Cleanse & Exfoliate

Start off with a mild exfoliant to shed dead skin and reveal smooth, radiant skin without stripping it of its natural oils. Our Softer Skin Stick (2613-1.17) will leave your skin feeling incredibly soft and supple with ingredients like Emulium® Dolcea MB, which provides intense and lasting hydration. Acticire® MB brings comfort to the skin while allowing us to add Original™ Extract Grape Bio, an organic grape water close to human physiological fluids that rehydrates the skin. 

Get ready to glow!

Tip #2 - Strengthen Your Skin Barrier

Next, you want to reinforce your skin’s barrier function. To achieve this, use moisturizers that contain rich, nourishing, and reparative ingredients. Try the Cica Barrier Cream (2787-1.07), a rich cream with ingredients like Emulium® Dermolea MB, a moisturizing O/W emulsifier that supports skin barrier function and soothes sensitive skin. Lipocire™ A SG melts at body temperature to easily apply the cream. Our two active ingredients, Gatuline® RC Bio and Gatuline® Skin-Repair AF, increase skin moisturization and repair the skin barrier function of damaged skin. 

Your skin will thank you!

Tip #3 - Lock in Moisture

Finally, ensure that your skin remains moisturized by locking in hydration. Utilize techniques like slugging or products like overnight face masks can help act as an occlusive to seal in hydration. Use Nighty Night Solid Oil (2658-1.07) as a slugging product once or twice a week to intensely hydrate the skin. This thick emulsion is created with Emulium® Dermolea MB emulsifying 45% of oils and supporting the skin barrier. Geleol™ MB helps to thicken the formula and increase stability while Gatuline® Skin-Repair AF Gatuline® RC Bio helps to repair a damaged skin barrier and hydrate dry skin overnight.

Wake up to beautifully hydrated skin!
