Rajul manages her skin care routine while working as a garden designer in Norwich, balancing outdoor exposure with indoor tasks. Each day involves preparatory skincare like a foaming face wash, gel moisturiser, and sun protection. Despite her efforts, she faces skin dryness attributed to environmental factors and her heritage. Postnatal depression worsened her skin condition, leading to a deeper understanding of her needs. Expert advice suggests using moisturisers with humectants and lipid-replenishing ingredients to maintain hydration and skin barrier support.
Rajul describes textbook transepidermal water loss, essentially losing water from the skin, made worse by exposure to wind, cold and seasonal shifts. To support all-day comfort and barrier strength, her moisturiser needs both humectants, which help keep skin moist, and lipid-replenishing ingredients, to support the skin barrier.
Being half Indian, I'm prone to dry skin anyway. If I didn't moisturise my arms and legs as well as my face and neck every day, I'd be in real trouble.
I wear fairly light makeup; a pressed powder or a tinted moisturiser if I want something a bit fancier. I use a foaming face wash and a gel day-moisturiser. I also use a Boots factor 50 on top.
In winter in Norfolk, we get these drying winds, as well as the cold and wet. Dryness is a huge factor for my skin.
