Dry Skin - Prevent Dry Skin by Adopting The Right Skin Care
Regime.
Intake of adequate fluids become very important as the
dehydrating effect of heating needs to be over come and
excessive loss of moisture needs to be replaced.
Simple daily routines, such as bathing and towel drying, may
actually promote dry skin. You may wish to modify your bathing
routine to help preserve your skin's loss of moisture. Bathing
provides the skin temporary moisture, but it removes the skin's
'Acid Mantel' and in the long run causes more moisture loss than
gain, particularly if you use commercially manufactured soap,
which by nature has a drying effect on the skin.
The correct skin
care regime to counteract dry skin is crucial and the
following steps are suggested:
Do not wash, using soap, as it dries out your skin! - Instead,
use an exfoliant, such as the 'Skin Renewal Gel' from
Wildcrafted Herbal Products, followed by a cleanser
(Wildcrafted's Hydrating Cleanser is ideal) to keep your skin
from drying out unnecessarily.
Apply a toner to prevent loss of moisture from your skin - This
step is often neglected by many, yet it is a very important
step, especially if you have dry skin. Toning lotions, for
example Wildcrafted's 'Milk of Roses Toner' provides essential
oils and herbal extract that help to close the opened pores and
prevents loss of moisture.
Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise. - This cannot be stressed
strongly enough. Moisturising will not only nourish your skin,
but it will help to reduce loss of moisture even further, thus
preventing dry skin, as well as repair damaged skin.
