Dry Skin

Dry skin is not caused so much by a lack of hydration, as by a depletion in the lipid content of the skin's intracellular matrix. When this happens, sebaceous glands become less active and this leaves skin cells less able to hold their moisture. Skin also tends to become dryer with age, and the occurrence of wrinkles and fine expression lines is partly a consequence of dryness.

The Herbjar offers a selection of all-natural moisturising creams formulated to help with the problems of dry skin by replacing the compounds found in youthful skin secretions - squalene, fatty acids, wax esters, ceramides, sterols and triglycerides.
We also recommend the use of gentle cleansing oils and face masks. For dry skin, face masks can be used successfully if they are applied over a thin layer of a suitable face cleansing oil.
