Uneven Tone & Dark Spots
Dry skin isn't just a surface issue - it's a barrier problem. When your skin's lipid barrier is compromised, moisture escapes and environmental aggressors get in, leaving skin that feels tight, rough, and dull no matter how much you drink or how gentle your routine is.
Strengthen Your Barrier and Reveal Comfortable, Healthy-Looking Skin.
Your Dry Skin Routine
Suitable for persistently dry, flaky, or tight skin - including normal skin that's become dry with age
At Lumare, we've formulated a dry skin routine anchored in cold-climate bioactives — sea buckthorn, cloudberry, and ceramides — the same ingredients nature developed to protect living things in the harshest environments on earth. The result is a routine that doesn't just sit on top of skin. It works at barrier level, rebuilding resilience from within.
Step 1 Cleanse AM & PM
Chamomile & Sea Buckthorn Oil-to-Milk Cleanser
Start every routine — morning and night — with a cleanser that nourishes as it cleans. This oil-to-milk formula dissolves impurities, SPF, and makeup without stripping a single drop of the natural moisture your skin needs. Sea buckthorn contributes its remarkable omega-7 fatty acids directly at the cleansing stage, so you're feeding the barrier from the very first step.
Pro tip: Use lukewarm water and press — don't rub — to rinse. The gentler the cleanse, the more moisture stays in.
Step 2 Moisturise AM
Cloudberry & Ceramide Nourishing Day
Cream
Cloudberry is one of the most omega-rich botanicals in the Nordic climate — it contains a rare balance of omegas 3, 6, and 9 that maps almost perfectly to the fatty acid profile of healthy human skin. Paired with ceramides to physically rebuild the lipid barrier, this day cream provides genuine nourishment rather than surface level hydration, protecting against moisture loss throughout the day.
Pro tip: Apply to slightly damp skin immediately after cleansing to lock in hydration before it evaporates.
Step 3 Nourish PM, 2–3 times per week
Sea Buckthorn & Cloudberry Nourishing Facial Oil
On nights when your skin feels particularly dry, tight, or dull, layer this facial oil over your night cream as the final step. Sea buckthorn oil is one of nature's most concentrated sources of omega-7, a fatty acid that directly supports the skin barrier's ability to retain moisture. A few drops pressed gently into skin is all it takes.
Pro tip: Warm two to three drops between your palms and press into skin rather than rubbing in. This protects the delicate
skin surface and improves absorption.
Step 4 Repair PM, every night
Ceramide & Sea Buckthorn Barrier Repair
Night Cream
Night is when skin regenerates. This intensive repair cream works in alignment with your skin's natural nocturnal renewal cycle - delivering ceramides to rebuild the barrier, sea buckthorn to replenish lost lipids, and a rich occlusive layer to prevent transepidermal water loss as you sleep. Wake up to skin that is visibly softer, smoother, and more supple.
Pro tip: Apply as the last step in your PM routine. If using the facial oil, apply the oil first, then seal with this night cream.
What to Expect
Most customers notice a visible plumping and brightness within the first two to three days of consistent use - particularly with the toner applied on damp skin. This is the hyaluronic acid drawing water into cells in real time.
Over four to six weeks, as the barrier strengthens, skin will hold its hydration more effectively on its own - requiring less active effort to maintain the look and feel of well hydrated, resilient skin.
