If you have fine-pored skin that is permanently tight and tends to wrinkle, it is probably too dry. It mainly lacks lipids, but also moisture. With the right facial care from FIVE and our supplementary nutrition tips, we want to give you the tools you need to properly care for your dry skin.
Dry skin: the right care
How to recognize dry skin

What are the causes of dry skin?
Dry skin is often genetically determined , but it can also be promoted by external environmental influences , such as rough weather, aggressive care products or stress. In addition, the older we get, the drier the skin becomes. If you tend to have dry skin, it produces too few lipids (fats), which form an important protective barrier and protect your skin from moisture loss.
The good news: With the right care, you can alleviate the symptoms of dry skin in the long term! FIVE offers you the right products for this, especially for your needs: Our natural facial care supplies your skin with nourishing fats from native vegetable oils , which permanently remedy the acute lipid deficiency, strengthen your skin barrier and prevent the water stored in the skin from evaporating too quickly.
We recommend our light FIVE facial oil regeneration as oil care: It contains highly effective sea buckthorn pulp oil and lavender oil, which naturally stimulate cell renewal and regeneration of the skin.
However, lipid care alone is not enough, so you should combine your facial oil with our moisturizing FIVE facial serum so that your dry skin is optimally cared for day after day.
At FIVE we rely on pure ingredients and do without any frills. We use a maximum of 5 natural ingredients in each of our care products. We rely 100% on nature-based ingredients and develop highly effective natural cosmetics that are particularly gentle on your skin. Discover FIVE's natural face care for dry skin.

Your skin regenerates overnight. You should not wean her off this mechanism with a rich night cream! You gave her a little care when cleaning. Now care for your skin with our light and oil-free face serum.

We recommend that you apply a clay mask once a week: it gently cleanses your skin and supplies it with minerals. Use white (kaolin) or pink clay, which you can find at a pharmacy or health food store.
Everyday tips for dry skin
In addition to the right care, there are a number of things you can do in your daily life to prevent dry skin on your face and body:
- Only use lukewarm water for the face and body, because hot water dries out your skin further.
- Use a natural cosmetic shower gel . The surfactants it contains are milder and dry out the skin less. Use little product and only lather the sensitive areas of the body because your belly doesn't need a daily foam party.
- Immediately after showering, apply body oil to still damp skin . Sesame oil is excellent for this due to its high content of linoleic acid.
- Look for ways to lower your stress levels , because mental stress can be a trigger for dry skin.
- Get a humidifier if the air in your home is too dry or you live in a dry area.
- Don't heat your bedroom too much , because dry heated air is poison for your skin.
Nutrition is essential to skin health and the cornerstone of your skincare routine. Make sure you have a varied diet of colorful and green vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds and plenty of cold-pressed vegetable oils. In this way you ensure that you take in valuable fatty acids through your diet, which support the development of the skin barrier and can reduce dry skin. We have summarized some nutritional tips especially for dry skin for you here:
- Make sure you get enoughomega-3 fatty acids . They are super important for healthy skin but are in short supply in our western diet. Especially as a vegan, it is worth using high-quality linseed oil , enriched with DHA and EPA (from algae).
- You can integrate nuts and seeds into your daily diet. They provide you with polyunsaturated fatty acids and important trace elements such as zinc, an important micronutrient for dry skin.
- Drink enough water or unsweetened herbal teas , especially before and after exercise and in hot weather. Tip: Start the day with a large glass of water and get a large drinking bottle for everyday use that you can refill over and over again.
