The Ultimate Guide to Moisturizing

Moisturizing your skin is essential for maintaining a healthy, vibrant complexion. Dr. Alkaitis’ organic skincare line offers a range of adaptogenic products designed to bring your skin back to balance. Here’s how to mix and use these products for various moisturizing needs throughout the year.

Understanding Your Skin's Moisturizing Needs

Different skin and environmental conditions call for tailored moisturizing strategies. Whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin, the right products and application techniques can make all the difference. Dr. Alkaitis’ products are formulated with raw, living, and organic ingredients that may be combined in different ways to adapt to your skin’s unique requirements.

Seasonal Moisturizing Strategies

Summer Care

In humid conditions, lighter moisturizing solutions are preferable. The Organic Soothing Gel is an ideal moisturizing treatment during summer, especially for oily skin. It soothes and hydrates without leaving a greasy residue, thanks to its calming botanical extracts.

For those with combination skin, blending or layering the Soothing Gel with a small amount of the Organic Day Crème or Night Crème can provide balanced hydration without overwhelming your skin.

For a silky serum that is ideal for summer months and after sun care, blend the Organic Nourishing Treatment Oil with the Organic Herbal Toner. This combination creates a soothing, lightweight serum that can be used on the face and body. We also recommend this blend for use with our Gua Sha tool.

Winter Care

Cold weather can strip your skin of moisture, leading to dryness and irritation. During winter, a richer serum may be beneficial. Mixing the Organic Ageless Facial Elixir with the Organic Night Crème creates a deeply hydrating treatment that combats dryness and supports skin regeneration overnight. The Ageless Facial Elixir, rich in antioxidant-packed oils, blends perfectly with the nutrient-dense Night Crème to offer intense nourishment. This silky blend may also be used throughout the year for very dry or mature skin that requires extra hydration.

Mixing for Specific Skin Concerns

Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin requires gentle yet effective hydration. We recommend creating a lightweight serum with 2 pumps of Organic Soothing Gel  with 1 pump of the Organic Nourishing Treatment Oil. This is beneficial for skin that may need the extra hydrating nourishment of the oil combined with the powerful anti-inflammatory properties of the gel.

Aging or Dry Skin

To address aging skin, combine the Organic Ageless Facial Elixir with the Organic Day Crème. This blend not only hydrates but also delivers a potent dose of antioxidants and anti-aging compounds. The Ageless Facial Elixir’s blend of raw, organic ingredients works synergistically with the crème to reduce fine lines and enhance skin elasticity.

Oily or Acne-Prone Skin

Our Organic Soothing Gel deeply comforts and soothes the skin. Providing long-lasting hydration while aiming to nurture skin that is prone to acne and inflammation. A perfect multipurpose, therapeutic treatment the Organic Soothing Gel used alone is a suitable moisturizer for even the most sensitive skin.

Our Organic Nourishing Treatment Oil deeply nourishes, moisturizes, and plumps the skin - while balancing oil production in acne-prone skin. It is a multi-purpose, therapeutic, lightweight, and fast absorbing treatment that is good for the whole body. You can use it on the face, as a treatment for healing scars, as an all-over body moisturizer and on the scalp and hair. The Nourishing Treatment Oil leaves the skin supple, smooth, and regenerated with a radiant, healthy, golden glow. We recommend this award-winning product for all skin concerns.
