How to conceal dry, peeling skin for flawless complexion
#1: Gently Cleanse

Apply a milk cleanser and massage the dry patches first to help soften and slough off flakes before attending to the rest of your face.

This will leave your skin smoother to the touch. If there are still some dry flakes, resist the urge to scratch or rub them off as you might end up tearing your skin.

#2: Soften Skin

Apply softening toner over the dry, flaky areas and gently massage with your fingers, says Larry.

“However, if you experience a stinging sensation, chances are some of the skin may be damaged. Stop, cleanse it off, and then apply a lightweight face treatment oil all over the face. I highly recommend Tarte Maracuja Oil,” he adds.

“Its essential fatty acids are known to recharge and replenish dry skin without leaving it feeling greasy. It also contains linoleic acid which is known to keep acne at bay. Let it sit on your skin for about one minute before applying concealer.”

#3: Conceal

When skin is irritated, it becomes inflamed and produces melanin that tends to darken dry patches. Larry says: “Pick up a high-coverage concealer like Cover FX Custom Cover Drops with a fluffy eyeshadow brush and gently blend it into your skin.” Skip powder altogether as it highlights any flakiness and makes your skin look even drier.
