The Best Natural Skincare Products for Your Dry Skin

No matter the season, my skin tends to feel more dry than oily, especially since giving birth. I’ve rounded up some of my favorite natural skincare products for battling chronic dry skin.

I’ve tried plenty of organic, natural, clean, non-toxic, and other enter-buzzword-here skincare products but the below I’m sharing are my tried-and-true favorites to help me nourish and hydrate my skin from within.

Hold up! Is natural skincare really the best choice?

Between the prevalence of greenwashing and toxin-packed ingredients that could cause harm to your body, it’s essential to know exactly what you’re putting on your skin. That’s because your skin is your largest organ, and it absorbs everything you put on it. Once absorbed, it heads right to your bloodstream. Pretty crazy, huh?

When it comes to the word ‘natural,’ this word isn’t regulated at all in the beauty industry, so companies can pack in whatever ingredients they’d like under this label.

This labeling loophole leaves the heavy-lifting of ingredient research to the consumer. Some apps like Think Dirty or the EWG Skin Deep Cosmetics Database help you sift through ingredients and learn more about the product you’re using.

You can also choose to shop retailers that do the legwork for you and have strict vetting processes for the brands they stock and sell.

Formulated with glow-inducing ingredients such as rosehip oil, pomegranate oil, and noni extract, Noni Glow by Kora Organics was the first product I absolutely loved when my skin was at its driest. It left my skin feeling super soft and smooth, plus it gave me a dewy glow. I used it consistently day and night until I felt like my moisture levels were back up, and now it’s reserved for extra-dry days.

Also, my husband spilled half a bottle on the bathroom floor, and I still haven’t forgiven him. Some may say it’s petty; I say it’s justified and completely reasonable. 😉

When to use it: this oil should be your final step in your skincare routine.

I love it because it gives my skin the soft, supple texture that feels unattainable when my skin is super dry. It helps get rid of all of those small pesky textured bumps.
