Dry skin conditions are a common problem for many people, especially those who live in colder regions and experience the winter season. Keeping your skin healthy is important for your well-being. This should be the most important reason to get your skin hydrated. I learned the secret of year-round skin care years ago. In just a few weeks, you can transform your dry skin into a healthy glow.
Dry, cracked skin is a direct result of a lack of water,Protective oils are lost when skin is dry and shrinks. causing dry skin and premature aging. In order to tackle dry skin you must first know the factors that cause the problem.
There are many factors that cause dry skin. Most traditional soaps and moisturizers in mainstream stores contain harsh chemicals that irritate and dry the skin. It is very important to buy soaps and moisturizers that contain nutrients to hydrate and condition.
The reason dry skin tends to be worse in the winter, is because there is a shortage of moisture (water) in the air, thus low humidity. Cold weather will dry out the skin, so it is important to apply more oils and organic moisturizers during the winter months
So here are my 6 ways to protect skin
1.drink lots of water
2.Eat foods that will provide your body
3.Exfoliate,Exfoliate,Exfoliate!!!!
4. began using a humidifier
5.Protect.
6.Moisturize (2-3 times a day)
also the oils and moisturizers you can start stocking up on
1. Almond oil. This oil contains vitamins and minerals for softening the skin.
2.Aloe vera. It is known for its skin healing properties, but many people are unaware that it contains vital nutrients which have anti-aging effects.
3.Coconut oil. This is one of my favorite oils to use during the winter. It contains vitamin E, which nourishes and provides a protective layer to hold moisture into the skin.
4.Grape seed oil. This is an essential oil to use if your skin is dehydrated.
5.Shea butter. It contains vitamins A and E. Both are vital nutrients for your body and skin. It is very therapeutic because it naturally heals cracked skin. Make sure you purchase a product that contains 100 percent shea butter. It will feel a bit greasy when you apply it, but this means it is the good stuff.
6.Vitamin E. This is a great antioxidant for your skin that increases circulation and helps heal injured skin.
