Dry skin requires a rich product containing a higher ratio of oil to water, in order to create a light protective layer over the skin, delaying dehydration. Filaderme Emulsion from Laboratoires Embryolisse ($41) strengthens the skin barrier and immediately soothes the sensations of discomfort related to the dryness of the skin. Its 99 per cent formula of ingredients of natural origin provides the skin with the essential nutrients to replenish its protective lipid film.

The Phyto Corrective Essence Mist from Skinceuticals ($88) is a soothing botanical essence mist that hydrates and reduces visible redness due to dryness of the skin.
