How to Treat Extremely Dry Skin Naturally: A Simple, Effective Routine

Hey Kiya Collective,

Dealing with dry skin is one thing. But extremely dry skin — the kind that feels itchy, flaky, or even painful — needs a different level of care.

No complicated routines. No 12-step systems. Just nourishing, natural steps that help your skin feel soothed, soft, and supported again.

Here’s our go-to routine for treating very dry skin naturally — using simple ingredients that actually work.

🧼 Step 1: Use a Gentle, Natural Cleanser

Cleansing is the foundation — but harsh soaps can make dryness worse.

Use our African Black Soap Bar to cleanse without stripping. It detoxifies and refreshes while keeping your skin barrier protected.

Hot tip: Avoid long, hot showers. Lukewarm water + short rinse = happier skin.

💧 Step 2: Hydrate Immediately After Cleansing

This is where most people miss the mark.

✨ Mist with Tea Tree & Niacinamide Toner ✨ Gently pat it in — don’t wipe it off

This gives your skin the hydration it needs before sealing in moisture.

🧴 Step 3: Layer Natural Oils and Butters

Dry skin craves emollients (for softness) and occlusives (to lock in moisture).

✨ Apply Rejuvenating Facial Serum for deep, antioxidant-rich nourishment ✨ Follow with a rich moisturising face cream ✨ For body care, use Sweet Nourishing Oil on damp skin after your shower and for an extra boost, apply a whipped shea butter on top. 

🌿 Step 4: Exfoliate (Gently) 1x a Week

Removing dead skin allows your products to absorb better.

Use the African Body Net daily for light exfoliation alongside our Shea Body Scrub with Coconut & Rose Petals once a week to smooth and soften.

💛 Final Thoughts

Extremely dry skin isn’t just about products — it’s about slowing down, simplifying, and being consistent.

When you treat your skin like something sacred, the results follow.
