Why Pakistani Skin Gets Dry in Winter
Lahore and Islamabad experience cold, dry winters that strip moisture from skin. Harsh soaps, hot showers, and low humidity damage the skin barrier, causing persistent dryness that moisturisers alone cannot easily fix.
The Barrier-First Approach
Dry skin treatment must start with barrier repair. CeraVe and Cetaphil directly replenish ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol — the primary components of the skin barrier.
Morning Routine for Dry Skin
Cleanser: CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser. Hyaluronic Acid: The Ordinary HA 2% + B5 — apply to damp skin. Moisturiser: CeraVe Moisturising Cream. SPF: La Roche-Posay Anthelios Invisible Fluid SPF 50+.
Evening Routine
Same gentle cleanser. HA serum on damp skin. CeraVe Moisturising Cream. Optional: Squalane (The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived) to lock in moisture overnight.
