HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR DRY SKIN

Dry skin can cause severe problems to your face in the long run, such as oily skin, clogged pores, acne, pimples, and rashes, to name a few.
Although most of these cases are caused due to the lack of humidity in the skin, many still struggle to counter this issue. All hope is not
lost, as there are numerous ways to fix dry skin and prevent the problems it brings. This article explains how you can take care of your dry
skin.

WASHING THE CORRECT WAY

The face has the most sensitive skin out of your body. It’s imperative that you treat it with absolute care. When isn’t treated right, dry skin can produce inflammation on the surface, resulting in acne and clogged pores. Preventing this is simple, as you just need to wash your face the right way. The first method is to keep your showers short, between 5-10 minutes. When you stay in the shower for too long, the healthy oils from your skin will fall off and leave your face drier than before. Furthermore, keep the water slightly warm or just cold, as hot water can strip too much oil from the face and won’t hydrate it. The second method is to use soap-free cleansers. This type of soap, especially with a built-in moisturiser, will produce excellent results for your face. Cleansers that have ceramides, in particular, are beneficial as they will help create a protective layer that will minimise moisture loss. Additionally, avoid using soaps or cleansers that have antibacterial extracts at all costs, as they could harm the surface of your skin.Choosing a right cleanser for your face is sometimes overlooked when it comes to skin care routines. Our natural gentle cleanse & tone soft foaming cleanser might just be the cleanser for you. Washing your face the right way will produce a healthy face and prevent it from going dry.

KEEP YOUR FACE MOISTURIZED

Moisturising is the most crucial part of having a healthy face. It will keep your skin humid and improve the eradication of impurities. The best time to moisturise is between three to five minutes after taking a shower or cleaning the face. Apply the moisturiser after gently patting the face with a towel. Use a cream that contains shea butter, olive oil, and jojoba oil. This has been proven to maintain moisture in the face for long periods. Not to mention, other ingredients can help retain moisture. As mentioned before, the first one is ceramides. They work as a water-retaining property and make sure any moisture you absorb will stay. The second one is dimethicone. They work as a mild cleanser and will free the skin of unwanted impurities. The third and final one is lanolin. They are known as petroleum jelly that boosts the water-retaining process on the skin, especially right after showering. Using our natural nourishing lite cream to consistently moisturise your face, increases the chances of never having dry skin ever again.
