The Ultimate Skincare Routine for Dry Skin: Hydration from Start to Finish

If your skin feels tighter than your favorite pair of vintage jeans, we need to talk — about hydration. Dry skin isn’t just a seasonal woe; it’s a 24/7, 365-day battle against flakiness, irritation, and that annoying feeling that no amount of moisturizer is ever enough. But fear not — because with the right skincare routine (and the right products), you can turn your parched skin into a glowing, dewy dream.

Enter: Paris Laundry’s hydration-packed lineup, curated to give your skin everything it’s been thirsting for. Follow this routine, and say bonjour to soft, plump, and radiant skin.

Step 1: Pre-Wash — The Ritual Begins

Every good skincare routine starts with a clean slate, but for dry skin, we need to be extra gentle. That’s where the Pre-Wash comes in — a nourishing oil-based cleanser that melts away makeup, sunscreen, and daily grime without stripping your skin of its natural moisture. Think of it as the luxurious prelude to your main cleansing step — your skin will thank you for it.

Step 2: The Main Wash — A Soft Reset

Once your skin is free of surface impurities, it’s time to cleanse without overdoing it. The Main Wash is your second step, designed to deeply cleanse while maintaining hydration. It sweeps away any lingering residue from the day (or night), leaving your skin fresh, soft, and prepped for all the goodness coming next.

Step 3: Rose Dew Hydrating Mist — Instant Refresh

Now that your skin is clean, let’s bring in hydration — and a little sensorial luxury. The Rose Dew Hydrating Mist is like a splash of botanical magic, instantly quenching dry skin with calming rose water and nourishing ingredients. Mist it liberally — before serums, after serums, in the middle of the day when you need a pick-me-up. There are no rules, only hydration.

Step 4: Serums — Aqua Lumière or Luminary (or Both!)

Serums are where the magic happens, and if you have dry skin, layering is key.

• Aqua Lumière Hydrating Serum: This is your hydration hero, packed with skin-plumping ingredients to deliver long-lasting moisture and a glow that doesn’t quit.
• Luminary Brightening Serum: If dullness and uneven tone are part of your dry skin struggles, this is your go-to. It works to brighten, even out your complexion, and add a luminous, healthy sheen.

Can’t decide? Use both! Layer the Aqua Lumière first for hydration, then follow with Luminary for an extra dose of radiance.

Step 5: Bliss Hydrating Cream — The Dreamy Moisture Lock

This step is non-negotiable. A good moisturizer seals in all that hard-earned hydration, and the Bliss Hydrating Cream is as rich and indulgent as it sounds. It’s a tall drink of water for your skin — melting in effortlessly, replenishing moisture, and keeping your complexion baby-soft all day (or night) long.

Step 6: Nourishing Facial Oil — The Final Glow-Up

A few drops of the Nourishing Facial Oil, pressed into your skin, is the finishing touch your routine needs. This lightweight yet deeply hydrating oil locks in moisture, soothes irritation, and leaves your skin ridiculously glowy. Pro tip: Mix a drop into your moisturizer for an extra boost of hydration.

Bonus: Parisian Nectar Honey Mask (1–3x a Week)

For those moments when your skin is extra parched and in need of some TLC, treat yourself to the Parisian Nectar Honey Mask. Packed with nourishing honey and skin-loving botanicals, it’s like a spa day in a jar — calming, hydrating, and bringing your skin back to life.

Final Thoughts: Your Glow, Your Rules

The secret to hydrated, dewy skin? Consistency. Sticking to this moisture-rich routine will have your skin feeling soft, plump, and radiant in no time. Whether you’re layering serums, misting midday, or indulging in a weekly mask, remember: Hydration isn’t just a step — it’s a lifestyle.
