The skin is our largest organ and its function is very incredible. It keeps your insides, well, inside, and it can help you survive in so many ways. The skin protects you from the elements, helps with your sense of touch, and even influences your mood! But all skin types are not the same at all.
There are different types of skin based on ethnic origin and genetics, as well as other factors like age or environmental exposure (like UV rays). One factor affecting people is humidity levels—most often, it’s not enough! This causes dry skin, an epidemic. Thankfully there are ways to combat this common problem using skin Products.
Facial Moisturizer
Moisturizers are an important part of your skincare routine. It’s essential to use a moisturizer regularly, especially if you have dry skin. Moisturizers come in two main types: oil-based and water-based. The moisturizer you should use depend on whether your face is oily or dry. If it’s oily, then a water-based one will work better since they absorb quickly into the skin rather than sitting on top as oil would do.
On dry or sensitive skin, an oil-based hydration mask is ideal as these penetrate deeper into the epidermis to give long-lasting hydration without clogging pores or causing breakouts! To apply facial moisturizer properly: wash and pat dry your face with a towel before applying any lotion onto it (don’t rub). Then spread evenly over entire face except around eyes and mouth area where too much would irritate those sensitive areas.”
Shea Butter Body Lotion
If you have dry skin, this is the product for you. This lotion is lightweight and non-greasy, so it won’t leave your skin feeling greasy or oily after application. It also has a 15% shea butter content, which is great for moisturizing dry skin because it helps retain moisture in your pores. The scent is light and pleasant, like some other scents on sensitive skin types, without being overpowering or too tangy. This product comes in multiple sizes, so you can choose one that fits your lifestyle best: travel size (1 ounce), large tube (8 ounces), or jumbo jar (16 ounces).
Charcoal Mask
A natural beauty mask to help remove toxins and impurities from your skin is one way to treat dry skin. This charcoal mask is free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, dyes, and petrochemicals. It’s made with activated charcoal—used for centuries as a purifying agent in water filtration systems used to cleanse drinking water—and it helps draw dirt and oil away from the skin so that any blemishes on your face can be removed.
The best part about this mask is that it doesn’t leave any residue or coloration on your face after use. You can use it as a sleep face mask to have a softer complexion.
Exfoliate with L’Occitane Angelica Face Scrub
A good facial scrub is a must for dry skin. There are many ways to use a scrub, but you should use it as an exfoliant once or twice weekly. The most important thing about using a scrub is not overdoing it—you don’t want to make your skin red and irritated. Most scrubs are made with natural ingredients like sugar or sea salt that can leave you feeling fresh without damaging your sensitive skin.
When choosing a face wash, look for products containing lactic acid (an alpha-hydroxy acid found naturally in milk) because this ingredient helps eliminate dead cells from the skin’s surface by dissolving them away gently instead of pulling on it them as harsher scrubs might do.
Drying Lotion
Drying lotions are common in the skincare aisle, but what exactly are they? Drying lotions are generally made up of three ingredients: alcohols, drying agents, and skin-soothing agents. Alcohols act as astringents and help dry out and tighten pores. Drying agents do just that—dry your skin and cause it to peel away as new skin underneath is revealed. This process helps exfoliate the top layer of dead skin cells that have been sitting on your face for too long. The final ingredient is meant to keep you comfortable. At the same time, the healing process takes place by soothing redness, irritation, and inflammation caused by those pesky dry patches that won’t go away no matter what product you try!
So how does one use a drying lotion? Well, first off, make sure you cleanse your face thoroughly before applying any treatment or moisturizer/serum, etc., then take some time massaging this product into all areas where there might be some rough patches so that it has ample time to work its magic before you get ready for work or school (or whatever else it may be). If possible, wait about 15 minutes before applying another layer over the top.
