WHAT'S GOING ON?

Dry and dehydrated skin aren't always the same thing.

Dry skin generally produces less natural oil, while dehydrated skin is lacking water and can affect different skin types. Teen skin may also feel dry or tight after over-cleansing, changes in weather or using products that are too harsh. A simple routine focused on gentle cleansing and consistent hydration can help keep skin feeling comfortable and balanced.

WHAT YOUR SKIN NEEDS

CLEANSE GENTLY

Cleanse away everyday build-up without leaving your skin feeling unnecessarily stripped or tight.

LAYER IN HYDRATION

Add hydration after cleansing and follow with moisturiser to help keep skin feeling soft and comfortable.

BE CONSISTENT

Small daily habits can matter more than constantly changing products whenever your skin feels dry.

YOUR SIMPLE ROUTINE

  • STEP 01

    CLEANSE

    Start with a gentle cleanse to remove everyday build-up without over-cleansing dry or tight-feeling skin.

  • STEP 02

    HYDRATE

    Mist on Bounce Back after cleansing to add a refreshing layer of hydration.

  • STEP 03

    TREAT

    Add Glow Fuel as the targeted treatment step in your routine, introducing it gradually if your skin is feeling particularly dry or reactive.

  • STEP 04

    MOISTURISE

    Follow with Just Dew-It to help keep skin feeling soft, comfortable and hydrated.

  • STEP 05

    PROTECT

    Finish your morning routine with SPF 30 to help protect your skin from everyday sun exposure.

At night, follow your routine through to moisturising. Treatment steps can be adjusted to suit your skin.

TEEN SKIN TIP

Hydration isn't just for dry skin.

Skin can feel dehydrated even if it sometimes looks oily. Pay attention to how your skin feels and avoid responding to tightness by simply adding more cleansing.

GOOD TO KNOW

Dry skin generally produces less natural oil, while dehydrated skin is lacking water. This means even skin that sometimes feels oily can also feel dehydrated or tight.

A tight feeling after cleansing can be a sign that your routine is too harsh or that your skin needs more hydration. Avoid over-cleansing and follow cleansing with your hydration and moisturising steps.

They play different roles in the Farrell Naturals routine. Bounce Back adds a light hydration step after cleansing, while Just Dew-It follows later to help keep skin feeling moisturised and comfortable.

You can introduce targeted products thoughtfully rather than adding everything at once. If your skin feels uncomfortable or easily irritated, simplify your routine and introduce new products gradually.

If dryness is persistent, severe, painful, itchy or accompanied by other symptoms that concern you, speak to a qualified healthcare professional or dermatologist for personalised advice.
