Skin becomes dry for a variety of reasons from thyroid problems, decreased oil production associated with aging and living in a dry environment which captures the moisture out of the skin.
Creamy Cleanser - Cleanse morning and evening using a mild cleanser to ensure that you are cleaning without stripping away your skin's protective barrier. To help calm the skin after cleansing, use cool water to rinse. Green Tea Antioxidant Cleanser will do wonders for your dry skin, while thoroughly removing your make-up.
Daily Extreme Moisturization Therapy - Apply a serum like Intensive Repair Serum first and let dry completely. Then apply a cream such as Daily Hydrating Cream to really intensify your hydration and benefit from this combination therapy.
Exfoliate - Polish your skin to improve its appearance. Exfoliating with White Bamboo Exfoliator will help to remove dead skin cells and improve penetration of the products that follow. If your skin is dry or you are in a dry area, exfoliating once a week or once every 10 days may be sufficient.
Therapy for your body - Theraplex Clear Lotion is great after showering to help with severe dry skin and Theraplex Hydrolotion will seal in the moisture to help for dry skin on your body.
Dry Feet - Cracked dry feet are not pretty and can be avoided by using Theraplex Emollient petroleum based therapy. Use daily with socks to help restore the moisture to your feet.
*Apply your moisturizer within 3 minutes of washing to seal in the most moisture.
*Eat Omega-3's - These "good fats" in foods such as salmon, flaxseed, and almonds boost hydration, which keeps skin supple and firm. |
