Dry Skin Routine

May 27, 2026

We’ve teamed up with Oak Essentials Advisory Council Esthetician Julia Barna to create a comprehensive routine for dry skin. Adding moisture-rich formulas that support the skin barrier are key for maintaining hydration. 

Step One: Cleansing Balm

This cleanses the skin without over-drying. A gentle cleanser formulated with hydrators such as Avocado Oil and Juniper Oil that help to dissolve makeup and environmental pollutants while replenishing protective lipids to reinforce the skin's moisture barrier. 

Step Two: Balancing Mist

An antioxidant-rich and multi-tasking mist that can be used throughout your routine to tone, hydrate, set, and refresh your body and complexion. Apply before your moisturizing step(s) to lock in extra hydration. Mist the skin throughout the day whenever you need an extra kiss of hydration. 

Step Three: Ritual Oil

A lightweight Vitamin-packed oil backed by the power of Blue Tansy that helps restore skin’s natural moisture barrier and soothes irritated, inflamed skin for a balanced, healthier-looking complexion. Great for sensitive, dry, and combination skin.  When the skin is extra dry, I love to double-up on moisture, layering a few drops of Ritual Oil as a treatment under Moisture Rich Balm is a nice way to give your skin maximum benefit. Also works beautifully as a stand-alone moisturizer.

Step Four: Moisture Rich Balm

The ultimate hydrator for dry skin, this luxurious balm-to-oil formula works as an occlusive shield, helping nourish the skin barrier. The concentrated formula helps support collagen production, while delivering an unmatched glow.

Step Five: Hydra Eye Balm

Smooths and hydrates the delicate eye area and reduces the appearance of fine lines and dark circles.

Weekly: Restorative Mask

A deeply hydrating Organic Honey mask with Avocado Oil and Ylang Oil that’s packed with antioxidants. Anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties help to replenish and nourish skin, leaving it calm, soft, supple, and glowing. The natural sugar in honey encourages the flow of lymphatic fluid to remedy dry, sensitive skin. Use 1-3x weekly after cleansing.

Bonus: Moisture Rich Body Balm

An intensely luxurious, moisturizing, melt-on-contact body balm that helps soften, nourish, and support the skin barrier. Ideal for extra-dry areas like the elbows, knees, and heels.
