Dry Skin Relief: Soothing Natural Skin Care Products

July 25th, 2010

One of the most difficult skin types to treat is dry skin. In order to relieve dry skin you should adopt the adequate skin care routine that may include natural skin care products.

Dry Skin Care

Let’s first take a look at the appropriate dry skin routine. The use of soapy cleansers is not a good choice for treating dry skin problems. Both soap and water can strip natural oils and moisture from your skin.

You should use a cream cleanser if you have dry skin. Cream cleansers are gentle and will safely remove all the debris from your skin without robbing it of moisture. If you have sensitive skin, non-comedogenic oil, like olive oil, can be a sensible alternative to cream cleansers.

After cleansing you should use a toner that is alcohol-free toner to help close pores and remove any remaining debris. Finally, finish off with a good moisturizing cream. If necessary you can reapply your moisturizer during the day.

People with dry skin should also worry about exfoliating on a regular basis. If you’re the adventurous type, then you can try making your own exfoliation product. You can try a simple recipe of mixing grapefruit juice with oatmeal. The two ingredients will form a paste that you can apply to your skin to help slough off dead skin cells.

Natural Products for Dry Skin

Once you feel comfortable with your daily skin care routine you can dare to try new products, such as natural products, to see which you prefer. Natural products are known to contain essential oils, minerals, water and fruit extracts. You may not find 100% natural products on the market, but you can make your own.

If you’re interested in natural skin care products then there are a few ingredients you should look for:

*Aloe Vera

Aloe vera increases the availability of oxygen to the skin and, as a result, helps in boost the production and strength of skin tissue. As an added plus it can also help soothe irritated and sun burned skin.

*Colloidal oatmeal

Oatmeal has a high concentration of starches that help protect the skin and promote its water holding capacity. It also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Colloidal oatmeal can also be used as a cleanser, moisturizer and exfoliator.

*Rose water

Rose water has anti bacterial and antiseptic properties. It can help soothe and treat irritated skin.

*Rose Hip Seed Oil

This oil has been used for centuries to soothe irritated and dry skin. This ingredient absorbs quickly and can help maintain skin moisturized. In fact, indigenous tribes in South America have used it to treat skin problems such as eczema.

*Snail serum

This product is an excellent moisturizer. It absorbs quickly and promotes the growth of new skin cells.

Natural skin care products now contain one or more of these ingredients. However, if you have the time and the motivation you can find these ingredients and use them to make your own mix of natural skin care products. Keep in mind though, that natural ingredients can produce allergic reactions in some people.

Finding a good skin moisturizer is crucial for maintaining a dry skin treatment regimen. BIOSKINBALM is a gentle face skin care product that can help treat dry skin without producing unwanted side effects. This natural skin balm is made with a natural ingredient that makes it ideal for every skin type - Helix Aspersa Muller extract.
