Why regular moisturizer fails in desert climates (and what actually works)
Spent years dealing with wind-chapped skin living somewhere hot, dry, and sandy. Most 'hydrating' products are formulated for humid climates — they sit on top of the skin instead of actually replenishing it, so within a few hours you're right back to tight, flaky, irritated skin.
What actually matters in a desert climate:
Absorption speed — if it's not soaked in within a minute, it's not doing the job before sand/wind exposure
No heavy occlusives — they trap heat and make sun exposure worse
Simple formula — fewer ingredients means less irritation on already-stressed skin
Built Desert-Proof Skin Serum around exactly this. If you deal with sun-exposed or wind-chapped skin, happy to share what's in it and why.
