Hate having dull and dry skin? Well, if you think about it, it has its perks—you’re less prone to acne and makeup doesn’t slide around your face! On the downside, you tend to get dry patches and itchy spots which result in rough skin texture. The key is to keep your skin hydrated, so it gets the moisture it needs to stay soft and supple! Below, we round up 10 skincare products that promise to work wonders on your parched skin.
