Collection: DRST Skin Type | Dry, Sensitive, Non-Pigmented, Tight Skin Care

DRST (Dry, Sensitive, Non-Pigmented, Tight) describes skin that tends to feel chronically dry and easily irritated, while being less prone to visible dark spots and uneven tone than pigmented types. “Tight” indicates a lower tendency toward early wrinkling compared to “Wrinkled” skin types, but dryness and sensitivity can still make texture look rough, dull, or uncomfortable. The most effective DRST routines focus on calming inflammation, protecting the skin barrier, and restoring hydration so the skin can tolerate daily care without flare-ups.

Common DRST Skin Concerns

If you have DRST skin, you may notice:

• Persistent dryness, tightness, or flaking
• Stinging, burning, or redness with new products
• Barrier disruption (skin feels reactive or “thin”)
• Rough texture or dullness from dehydration
• Sensitivity to weather, hot water, fragrance, or strong actives

How DRST Skin Should Be Treated

DRST skin responds best to a barrier-first approach. Because this skin type is sensitive, aggressive exfoliation or high-strength actives can trigger irritation that worsens dryness and texture. The goal is to reduce reactivity, replenish moisture, and strengthen the barrier before introducing any corrective treatments. When the barrier is supported, skin looks smoother, feels more comfortable, and is less likely to react to routine steps.

DRST Skin Care Strategy (Build Your Routine)

A well-designed DRST routine typically follows these steps:

1. Gentle cleanse to remove impurities without stripping.
2. Hydrate + soothe with lightweight layers that calm visible redness.
3. Barrier support with moisture and protective lipids.
4. Daily sunscreen to prevent sensitivity triggers and maintain barrier health.
5. Optional gentle correction (only once skin feels stable and comfortable).

DRST Skin Type: Key Takeaways

• Sensitivity means barrier support comes before strong actives.
• Dryness improves most with consistent hydration + protective moisturizing.
• Non-pigmented skin is less prone to dark spots, but still benefits from daily SPF.
