Dry skin on face

Dry facial skin tends to occur when the skin barrier cannot retain enough moisture, leading to visible dehydration and dryness. The good news is that there are several effective treatments available for dry skin on the face.

At Dr Leah Clinics, we offer a range of advanced facial treatments that are designed to restore hydration, repair the skin barrier and improve your overall skin health. Scroll down to learn more about the reasons for dry skin on the face and the treatments we recommend.

What causes dry facial skin?

Dry facial skin usually develops when there is a deficit of lipids (natural oils) in the skin barrier. When these lipids are reduced, the skin cannot retain water effectively. This leads to dehydration and visible dryness.

There are many possible reasons for dry skin on the face. Common causes include:

Environmental factors such as cold weather, dry climates or excessive UV exposure
Contact with certain chemicals, e.g. swimming pool chlorine
Genetics, which may influence how well the skin retains moisture
Medical skin conditions such as eczema or dermatitis
Inappropriate skincare products that strip the skin of essential oils

When the skin barrier becomes compromised, water escapes more easily from the skin. This can result in tightness, rough texture, flaking and increased sensitivity. Restoring hydration and rebuilding the skin barrier is therefore the key to treating dry skin on the face.

How to treat dry skin on the face

The most effective dry skin treatment for the face focuses on replenishing moisture and restoring the skin’s lipid barrier. Professional facial treatments for dry skin can deliver intense hydration while also improving the skin’s ability to retain water.

At Dr Leah Clinics, we offer several advanced facial treatments that can help dramatically improve skin hydration and comfort.

Recommended treatments for dry facial skin

Rehydration and brightening facial

Our bespoke Rehydration & Brightening Facial is specifically designed to target dry facial skin. This treatment deeply hydrates the skin while restoring radiance and strengthening the skin barrier. It is ideal for people experiencing dryness, dullness or dehydration and can significantly improve skin comfort and texture.

Profhilo

Profhilo is an injectable moisturising treatment that delivers high concentrations of hyaluronic acid beneath the skin. It works by stimulating hydration from within and improving overall skin quality. Profhilo is often used alongside facial treatments to achieve exceptional hydration results for dry skin on the face.

Polynucleotides

Polynucleotide treatments can help the skin retain moisture more effectively by improving cellular repair and skin regeneration. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving its ability to hold water, this treatment can help to restore a more hydrated, healthy-looking complexion.

Medical-grade skincare

In addition to in-clinic treatments, we are also able to provide medical skincare products such as Obagi. These clinically developed products can be useful in repairing the skin barrier, replenishing lipids and maintaining long-term hydration.

During your initial consultation, our practitioners will assess the condition of your skin and recommend the most appropriate treatment(s) for your face.
