Dry Skin Causes<\/h2>\n
When your skin lacks moisture, it becomes rough, tight, or flaky. The medical term for this very common skin concern is\u00a0<\/span>xeroderma<\/span><\/a>. Aside from aging, hormonal changes, dehydration, and additional factors like changes in the weather, excessive bathing or showering with hot water, using harsh soaps, or underlying medical conditions can also lead to dry skin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When your skin doesn’t have enough natural oils and moisture, it can become dry and irritated, making it more prone to itching, cracking, and discomfort. Taking good care of your skin with the right moisturizers and avoiding harsh products can help alleviate dryness and restore your skin’s natural balance.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You don’t have to look far for effective solutions to dry skin \u2013 some of the best remedies might already be sitting in your kitchen<\/span> and require little preparation. The best of these include:<\/span><\/p>\n Mash up an avocado with a few tablespoons of honey <\/span>to create a moisturizer. Avocados are packed with healthy fats and <\/span>vitamins<\/span><\/a> that deeply hydrate the skin, while <\/span>honey has natural anti-inflammatory properties<\/span><\/a> to soothe irritation. <\/span>Apply the mixture on the face and leave<\/span> it<\/span> on for 15 minutes before rinsing off.<\/span><\/p>\n Milk is another simple yet effective remedy for dry skin \u2013 simply dip a washcloth in some milk and use it to clean the skin. The lactic acid in the milk works to gently<\/span>\u00a0exfoliate and remove dead skin cells<\/span><\/a>, leaving your skin feeling soft and refreshed. Additionally, the fat in milk helps to hydrate and nourish the skin, leaving it moisturized.<\/span><\/p>\n You can also use olive, coconut, or sweet almond oil to moisturize and hydrate dry skin, particularly on rough patches. These oils are rich in fatty acids and antioxidants that help to replenish and nourish the skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth. To use these oils, simply warm the oils slightly and gently massage a small amount on the face. The oil’s warmth helps open up your pores, allowing the oil to penetrate deeper and hydrate the skin even more.<\/p>\n Aloe vera masks are a great natural and gentle option for restoring moisture to dry skin. Break open an aloe vera leaf and take some of the clear jelly-like gel-like substance. Gently rub it onto the face and leave it on for about 15 minutes before washing it off with cold water. If you have never used aloe vera before, test a small area of skin first to check for possible allergic reactions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For those who prefer a more effective option, consider incorporating <\/span>FOREO Imagination™<\/span><\/a> DIY mask base into your skincare routine. FOREO Imagination™ provides a perfectly creamy base for <\/span>homemade masks<\/span><\/a>, ensuring optimal absorption of active ingredients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Its creamy texture makes it easy to blend various ingredients such as avocado and aloe vera, ensuring a smooth and even application. Plus, it’s full of nourishing ingredients like <\/span>hyaluronic acid<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>squalane<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>vitamin E<\/span><\/a>, panthenol, and allantoin, providing additional hydration and skincare benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n FOREO Imagination™<\/span><\/a> is also great for personalizing the masks for specific areas of your face and body, which allows you to take care of unique skin needs.<\/span><\/p>\n FOREO Imagination™ DIY mask base is perfect to get creative juices flowing. Add slices of cucumber, honey, or olive oil to the base and wait for it to work its magic.<\/p><\/div>\n When choosing a cleanser for your skin, it’s important to look for gentle yet effective products. Choose facial cleansers that are specifically formulated to be gentle on the skin, avoiding harsh ingredients like dyes, fragrances, and detergents that can strip away natural oils and cause irritation. Also, check the packaging to make sure it has a neutral pH, as this helps maintain the skin’s natural balance and prevents it from becoming too dry or too oily. Additionally, seek out cleansers that contain added moisturizing and soothing ingredients. These ingredients not only cleanse the skin but also provide hydration and comfort.<\/span><\/p>\n One such cleanser to consider is\u00a0<\/span>LUNA™ Micro-Foam Cleanser 2.0<\/span><\/a>, a moisturizing and replenishing option that’s gentle on the skin yet effective on the impurities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This non-stripping cleanser is formulated with a blend of beneficial ingredients such as Amino Acids,\u00a0<\/span>Vitamin E<\/span><\/a>, and\u00a0<\/span>Cica<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to provide your skin with the care it deserves.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n We also recommend:<\/strong><\/p>\n Cerave Hydrating Skin Cleanser<\/p>\n Kiehl’s Centella Skin-Calming Facial Cleanser<\/p>\n Fresh Soy Face Cleanser<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When searching for the perfect moisturizer, look for creams that are rich in texture and lock moisture in without\u00a0<\/span>clogging pores<\/span><\/a>. These creams provide intense hydration, leaving your skin feeling nourished. If your skin is seriously dry, don’t hesitate to apply your moisturizer multiple times throughout the day \u2013 up to four times a day. By keeping your skin moisturized, you can help restore its natural moisture barrier and prevent further dehydration, which leads to dry skin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We recommend\u00a0<\/span>SUPERCHARGED™ HA+PGA Triple-Action Intense Moisturizer<\/span><\/a>, a fast-absorbing gel cream clinically proven to increase skin moisture by 40% in just 15 minutes. Thanks to its ingredients, this all-in-one solution provides long-lasting hydration, improves elasticity, prevents moisture loss, and strengthens the\u00a0<\/span>skin barrier<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Hyaluronic Acid<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and Polyglutamic Acid draw moisture into skin cells and lock them in, while\u00a0<\/span>Squalane<\/span><\/a>\u00a0minimizes fine lines and wrinkles. Panthenol hydrates and fortifies the skin barrier, reducing redness, while antioxidant\u00a0<\/span>vitamin E<\/span><\/a>\u00a0protects from free-radical damage.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n We also recommend:<\/strong><\/p>\n L’Occitane Ultra Rich Face Cream<\/p>\n Belif The True Cream Aqua Bomb<\/p>\n La Mer Cr\u00e8me de la Mer Moisturizing Cream<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Body butter contains emollients that draw moisture straight to the skin\u2019s surface, leaving it super soft. Not only does this leave your skin feeling incredibly smooth, but it also contributes to a healthier appearance overall. Body butter is best when applied all over your body after taking a shower. This allows the butter to lock in moisture while your skin is still damp, maximizing its hydrating effects.<\/p>\n We recommend:<\/b><\/p>\n Weleda Skin Food Body Butter<\/a><\/p>\n Kiehl’s Creme de Corps Soy Milk & Honey Whipped Body Butter<\/a><\/p>\n LUSH Cosmetics Buffy Body Butter<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Whether we’re talking about facial or body skin, the gentlest way to remove dead skin cells every day is with LUNA™ facial or body brushes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n LUNA™ 4<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is a facial cleansing device designed to deeply cleanse and firm your skin. Its soft\u00a0<\/span>silicone<\/span><\/a>\u00a0touchpoints remove up to 99.5% of dirt, oil, and makeup residue while boosting circulation and\u00a0<\/span>collagen production<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n You can tailor cleansing options for different skin types and adjustable intensity levels. Its ultra-hygienic silicone design reduces\u00a0<\/span>breakouts<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and gently exfoliates the skin, allowing better product absorption.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n LUNA™ 4 body<\/span><\/a> is a massaging body brush that deeply cleanses and gently exfoliates dead skin cells while promoting blood flow and reducing the appearance of <\/span>cellulite<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>Clinically proven to be 35x more hygienic than brushes with nylon bristles<\/a><\/span>, <\/span>LUNA™ 4 body<\/span><\/a> removes 99% of dirt and oil for a refreshed, softer, and smoother skin texture.<\/span><\/p>\n Both <\/span>LUNA™ 4 <\/span><\/a>and <\/span>LUNA™ 4 body<\/span><\/a> utilize T-Sonic™ massage technology that helps remove dead skin cells.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The “T” in <\/span>T-Sonic™<\/span><\/a> stands for transdermal, meaning these gentle pulsations penetrate through the outer layers of your skin. This brings about a couple of great benefits: firstly, it temporarily opens up your pores, making it easier for moisturizers to sink in and hydrate your skin deeply. Secondly, these pulsations also stimulate healthy <\/span>blood flow<\/span><\/a>, resulting in a natural, radiant glow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Scrubs should be used once a week to exfoliate the skin and keep it smooth. Look for scrubs that contain natural oils and butter, such as shea or cocoa butter. These ingredients not only help moisturize and nourish your skin but also provide a smooth feel during exfoliation. Since dry skin tends to be sensitive, choose a gentle formula that won’t cause irritation.<\/p>\n We recommend:<\/strong><\/p>\n Kate Sommerville Exfolikate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment<\/a><\/p>\n Fresh Sugar Face Polish Exfoliator<\/a><\/p>\n Drunk Elephant Sugared Koffie Almond Milk Body Scrub<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The first step to finding a good mask for dry skin is to make sure its purpose is to add moisture and hydrate. Many masks addressed for dry skin are often used to treat oily skin as well, so it’s essential to read the labels carefully.<\/span><\/p>\n Avoid masks that contain lemons, oranges, and kiwi, as well as clay masks with red kaolin and bentonite, as these are designed to target excess oil production and can exacerbate dryness. Instead, opt for masks formulated with nourishing and hydrating ingredients such as\u00a0<\/span>hyaluronic acid<\/span><\/a>, glycerin, and plant oils to replenish moisture levels and restore hydration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n UFO ™ 3<\/span><\/a>\u00a0will do just that for your thirsty dry skin.
