Dry Skin Myths You Need to Stop Believing

Dry skin doesn’t discriminate—it can happen to anyone, regardless of your skin type or age. Unfortunately, there are plenty of myths out there that keep you from giving your skin the care it deserves. Let’s clear the air and debunk the most common dry skin myths so you can keep your skin soft, hydrated, and healthy all year long.

1. Myth: Oily Skin Doesn’t Need Moisturizer
Truth bomb: Oily skin can still get dehydrated. Skipping moisturizer might feel like the right move, but it often makes your skin produce even more oil to compensate. The key is using lightweight, non-greasy options like Nude Glow Body Butter, which hydrates without clogging pores or leaving a heavy feel.

2. Myth: Drinking Water Is Enough to Hydrate Skin
Hydration starts from within, but drinking water alone won’t solve dry skin. Your skin needs external hydration to lock in moisture. Using products like our hydrating artisan soaps ensures your skin is cleansed without being stripped of its natural oils, while layering body care products helps seal in hydration.

3. Myth: Hot Showers Help Moisturize Skin
Hot showers are comforting, but they’re secretly stealing your skin’s moisture. Stick to lukewarm water and follow up immediately with a body oil or body butter on damp skin to protect your moisture barrier.

4. Myth: Thick Creams Are Better for Dry Skin
Thicker isn’t always better. It’s all about the ingredients. Products like Nude Glow Body Butter combine rich butters like shea and mango with fast-absorbing oils like jojoba to give your skin deep hydration without feeling greasy.

Don’t let dry skin myths keep you from your best glow. Understanding what your skin needs—and what it doesn’t—makes all the difference. Start with products that deliver hydration without compromise, like our Nude Glow Body Butter and artisan soaps, and give your skin the care it deserves.
