BUÉE guide

A simple routine for dry skin

Build comfort first: a gentle cleanse, reliable hydration and daily protection before adding treatments.

01

Clean without chasing tightness

A cleanser does not need to leave skin squeaky to work. If water alone feels enough in the morning, keep the full cleanse for evening and watch how comfort changes over a week.

02

Layer water, then help keep it

Humectants such as glycerin or hyaluronic acid attract water; creams with ceramides, squalane or other emollients help reduce the dry finish. One balanced cream can replace several thin layers.

03

Treatments come after stability

When skin feels comfortable for a few weeks, introduce only one treatment product and use it less often than the label’s maximum. Daily sunscreen remains the final morning step.

The foundation

  1. 01AM: moisturizer, then sunscreen
  2. 02PM: gentle cleanser, then moisturizer
  3. 03Add one optional treatment only after the base is comfortable
