Tips for dry skin
Here in Brazil is winter and It is cold and dry, these can worsen dry skin.
These are 5 tips for dry skin:
1- Body Moisturizing
Dry skin is usually sensitive and, since winter tends to worsen the condition, it requires thorough care. Every day after showering, pat your entire body with a cream or a lotion ( cocoa butter, shea butter are some options that contain naturally occurring nourishing ingredients, such as essential oils).
2- Skin face
If your skin face is dry clean it with an alcohol-free cleaning lotion, toner, or cosmetic milk, and avoid detergents soaps.
3- In shower
If your skin is dry and sensitive, try to cut back on the amount of time you bathe or shower. Use the mildest soap available and do not overdo it - use soap every other day only.
4. Look your diet
If your skin or scalp develop dry, irritated, itchy spots, do your best to avoid scratching. Apply shea butter or coconut oil several times a day and try to prevent water from splashing on irritated areas. Dry skin is prone to eczema and other uncomfortable skin conditions. A good preventive measure is to augment your diet with essential oils contained in raw organic butter, cod liver oil, Omega-3 eggs, coconut oil, and fresh cold-water fish.
5. Humidifier
In cold and dry winter months, consider investing in a humidifier. The additional moisture in the air will help your skin condition improve almost immediately.
Take care the skin you are in!
