What Causes Dry Skin and How It Can Be Prevented with GLOW

Dry skin is a common skincare concern that affects people of all ages and skin types. When the skin lacks adequate moisture, it can become tight, rough, flaky, and more prone to irritation and fine lines. If left untreated, dryness can compromise the skin barrier, making it more vulnerable to external stressors like pollution and UV damage.

The key to preventing dry skin lies in maintaining moisture balance and reinforcing the skin barrier. This requires the right combination of hydrating ingredients and science-backed skincare formulations, which is exactly where GLOW’s multi-peptide and hyaluronic acid formula comes in.

What Causes Dry Skin?

Several internal and external factors contribute to skin dehydration and barrier dysfunction:

External Factors:

  • Cold weather and low humidity deplete moisture from the skin.
  • Harsh cleansers and over-exfoliation strip away natural oils, leading to increased dryness.
  • Sun exposure and pollution accelerate moisture loss and oxidative stress, weakening the skin barrier.

Internal Factors:

  • Aging reduces natural oil production, making the skin more prone to dehydration.
  • Hormonal fluctuations (such as during pregnancy or menopause) impact skin hydration levels.
  • Poor diet and inadequate water intake contribute to weakened skin function and dryness.

Understanding these causes allows for targeted prevention strategies, ensuring that the skin stays hydrated, smooth, and resilient.

Best Practices to Keep Skin Hydrated

Keeping your skin properly hydrated requires consistent skincare habits and high-quality ingredients. Here’s how to prevent and combat dryness effectively:

  • Avoid harsh cleansers that strip the skin of its natural oils, opt for gentle, moisturizing formulations instead.
  • Use a hydrating serum like GLOW to replenish moisture and strengthen the skin barrier.
  • Apply sunscreen daily to protect against UV-induced dehydration and premature aging.
  • Drink enough water and eat a nutrient-rich diet to support skin hydration from within.
  • Use a humidifier in dry environments to help maintain optimal moisture levels in the skin.

By incorporating these habits into your skincare ritual, you can lock in hydration, restore balance, and protect your skin from unnecessary dryness.

How GLOW Helps Prevent Dry Skin

A science-backed approach to hydration and skin barrier repair is essential for lasting moisture retention. GLOW, a multi-peptide serum infused with hyaluronic acid, provides deep hydration and strengthens the skin barrier, making it an essential addition to any skincare ritual for dry skin. 

Key ingredients in GLOW work together to deliver superior hydration and skin resilience:

  • Hyaluronic Acid – Binds water molecules to the skin, ensuring deep, long-lasting hydration and a plumper, healthier complexion.
  • GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) – Stimulates collagen production, supporting skin repair and improved elasticity, while reducing moisture loss.
  • Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 – These peptides strengthen the skin barrier, promote firmness, and soothe inflammation-related dryness.
  • Snap-8 and Argireline – Help maintain smooth, hydrated skin by preventing fine lines and dehydration-induced wrinkles.

With these carefully selected ingredients, GLOW deeply hydrates, repairs, and protects the skin, helping to restore moisture balance and combat dryness at its source.

Dry skin is a preventable concern when the right hydrating and barrier-repairing ingredients are used consistently. By understanding the causes of dryness and adopting evidence-based skincare solutions, you can maintain a plump, smooth, and healthy complexion year-round.

GLOW’s advanced formula delivers intense hydration, reinforces skin barrier strength, and enhances elasticity, making it a powerful solution for combating dry skin.
