A Note From Dr Aleks
Dry skin is something I encounter often in our practice. Perth's hot, dry summers with intense UV exposure can deplete skin's moisture reserves, while winter brings cooler air that can also compromise the skin barrier. Many patients come to us frustrated after trying generic solutions that don't address their skin’s specific needs.
Our treatment approach accounts for your skin's individuality as well as our distinctive environment. We help you adapt your skincare routine as the seasons change, ensuring your skin remains balanced and protected year-round.

Understanding Dry, Rough Skin
Your skin has a built-in barrier designed to lock in moisture and shield against environmental stressors. When this barrier becomes compromised, water escapes more easily, and your skin loses its ability to protect itself. The result is dryness, sensitivity and an uneven surface.
There’s a difference between dry skin and dehydrated skin. Dry skin is a skin type, often linked to a lack of natural oil (sebum). Dehydrated skin is a temporary condition caused by a lack of water in the skin. Both can occur together and both respond well to the right treatment plan.
Dry skin can also be more reactive. Once the skin barrier is disrupted, irritants and allergens can penetrate more easily, triggering inflammation or discomfort. This is why treating dryness often requires a layered approach that restores hydration, rebuilds the barrier and calms any flare-ups.
