Understanding Dry Skin Relief the Natural Way

 

When your skin has a parched look and even start to peel-off during your normal daily activities, you are having a dry skin problem. This usually happened under the following circumstances:-


  1. You are constantly exposed to dry environment and insufficient liquid in your body to replenish the lost of moisture in your skin. Dryness is exacerbated by wind, extremes of temperature and air-conditioning, all of which cause the skin to flake, chap and feel tight. This type of skin is tightly drawn over bones. It looks dull, especially on the cheeks and around the eyes. There may be tiny expression lines on these spots and at the comers of the mouth.


  2. Your skin has gradually losing its ability to retain moisture due to deterioration of skin cell and the reason could be of old age or even lack of proper diet. It usually feels "tight" and uncomfortable after washing unless some type of moisturizer or skin cream is applied. Chapping and cracking are signs of extremely dry, dehydrated skin.


  3. Another possibility will be sensitive skin. It could be due to a genetic condition or conditions like dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, or seborrhoea where the use of harsh soap & cosmetic, which contain some chemicals, will irritate your skin and cause it to be dry.

There are varieties of dry skin relief lotion available at the pharmacy or skin care centre, but truly effective lotions are few and far between, natural or organic dry skin relief lotion are even more rare . Alarming increasing number of people seeking relief from dry skin problem has lead to the creation of this kind of articles, which prove to be very informative and helpful in treating dry skin problem.

Due to the change of weather cause by damaging ozone layer, it has caused many of itching, cracking and flaking of severe dry skin. Thus the skincare industry is responding with the creation of products that moisturize and replenish skin as never before.


Choosing the right Dry Skin Relief Lotion

A Dry Skin Lotion must derive from a carefully balanced combination of plant based ingredients; the best dry skin lotion not only hydrates the skin but actually treats the underlying cause of drying to heal from within. Using vitamins, plant oils and natural enzymes these products offer the most thorough and lasting treatment available for all types of skin, including tough to treat dry skin.


Vitamin E is a powerful natural antioxidant, along with other natural antioxidants; it helps to rid the body of harmful free radicals, in turn reducing the signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. Most recent important antioxidant found in natural products is coenzymeQ10, or CoQ10. Products that contain CoQ10, but only those using the naturally derived nano-lipid form are truly effective. In this form, CoQ10 can penetrate the surface of skin for deep, lasting effect.

Dry skin lotion can affect more than just your skin, as the ingredients contained in lotions may be absorbed into the bloodstream. For this reason, it is crucial that any product you use contain only ingredients which are safe for your body. Truly organic products will penetrate beneath the surface of the skin to treat the underlying cause of dryness gently and safely.


You can never be too careful!

When choosing a dry skin relief lotion, so be sure to read all the labels. Make sure you are confident and comfortable with the lotion that you choose and always check to be sure that a full money back guarantee is included. Not every product will be effective for each person, so keep your specific needs in mind and find the product that best suits you.


Other ingredients to be considered are:

  1. Avocado and Macadamia, both plant based oil work to hydrate skin naturally without the use of harsh chemicals.

  2. Keratin, a basic protein found in the human body, is also used in dry skin lotion to promote collagen regeneration.

Together, these natural ingredients work to reduce signs of aging and replenish dry skin while stimulating the growth of new skin cells.



Harmful Ingredients to avoid:-

  • Synthetic fragrances and Parabens, contained in many brands of dry skin relief lotion, can actually cause more damage than they repair. The harsh chemical content of these ingredients may actually remove essential moisture from the skin instead of replenishing it. The most effective lotions will be free of fragrances and parabens, leaving only truly natural ingredients to treat your skin.
  •  

  • Humectants act as water attractors in most moisturizers; they actually pull moisture out of your skin (Valmy). The problem with humectants, including propylene glycol and glycerine is that although they are most effective when you are in areas with high humidity, if you are going to be in an extremely low humidity atmosphere, such as in an airplane or even a dry room, they can actually take moisture from your skin.
  •  

  • Lanolin helps to sell a product and have promoted it as being able to "penetrate the skin better than other oils," although there is little scientific proof of this. Advertisers have found that the words "contains Lanolin" increase the sales. Lanolin has been found to be a common skin sensitizer causing allergic contact skin rashes (Winter). Lanolin usually contains pesticides and dioxins, known carcinogens, used on sheep and wool.

  • Dry skin can be a terrible problem, but there is relief available that you can trust. Check the market for true organic products, which can address both your symptoms and their underlying cause. With the right lotion, you can begin to look and feel better, from the inside out!
