Dry skin is one of the most difficult skin types to treat because it can lack moisture and be sensitive, which means it isn’t easily treated by most traditional skin care solutions. The following article will review ways of treating two subtypes of dry skin: normal dry skin and very dry skin.
Having subtypes may sound a bit like an exaggeration, but I assure you, it is not. People with normal dry skin feel that their skin is tight, itchy and perhaps a bit swollen. People with very dry skin, on the other hand, might have dry skin, dry hands, and sensitivity to various kinds of fabrics.
Normal Dryness and Dry Skin Care
First of all let’s start with the appropriate dry skin routine. Soapy cleansers are not a good choice for dry skin especially considering that soap and water are known to strip both natural oils and moisture from your skin.
You should use a cream cleanser if you have dry skin. Cream cleansers will help remove debris from your skin without stealing excess moisture. Follow up with an alcohol free toner to refresh the skin.
A good moisturizing cream is the last step in a basic cleansing routine for dry skin. Reapply it during the day if you feel that your skin is a little too tight or dry. If you have highly sensitive skin you can exfoliate it by using a homemade productmade by mixing grapefruit juice with honey and oatmeal.
Eczema needs Special Dry Skin Care
People with very dry skin, will notice that their skin still feels tight and itchy after performing the previously mentioned cleansing routine. If this is your case then you should switch over to oils, not oil-based products, but actual oil. Both olive oil and rose hip oil are great choices when trying to treat very dry skin.
Change your cream cleanser for olive oil. Lather the oil on your face, place a relatively hot, moist towel on your face and let it set until it cools off. Then, wipe off the oil with the towel.
Immediately after wiping off the oil, apply a creamy moisturizer or rose hip seed oil. This product absorbs quickly and locks in moisture. This is all you’ll need to do if you want to keep your very dry skin under control.
Milk is also another great way of exfoliation for very dry skin and getting rid of blackheads. Even though it is a natural product for dry skin, it can be shocking the first time you try is as it tends to tighten the skin. If you do decide to use this exfoliating method, make sure that you also moisturize immediately after exfoliating.
Having to choose natural skin care products will always imply a short trial-and-error process. However, if you’re not even sure where to get started, the suggestions listed above can be a good starting point.
