From Dry to Radiant!
Everyone’s had those February and March days when they’ve looked in the mirror, or stepped out into the cold, and felt completely dry. And unfortunately, you might notice this area of dryness in a different spot from one week or day (or hour) to the next. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.
This is because the cold air doesn’t just target one area of your skin. In fact, people can experience dryness and dry patches just about anywhere, and the location (locations…) of these dry patches can be unpredictable and vary from one person to the next. (1)
This unpredictability is why it's so important you choose a COMPLETE SKINCARE PACKAGE that cares for your ENTIRE BODY, rather than focusing on one problem area at a time.
And thankfully, there IS a TWO-PRODUCT SYSTEM that not only boosts the moisture of your skin, but contains natural ingredients that work together to both maintain that moisture and protect you once the weather starts to cool down!
In this blog we talk about the importance of a NATURAL BODY MOISTURIZER ROUTINE to fight dry skin, and the RIGHT ONE one that will BOOST your hydration and MAINTAIN it all over your body!
INSTANT RELIEF NOW
Though dry skin is usually associated with your hands, dryness can affect you almost everywhere, and without much notice. This is because dryness will affect your skin wherever you’re lacking moisture, which will keep your skin there from becoming soft and supple.
The unpredictable nature of dry skin also extends to the size of your dry skin area. For example, your dryness can come in small patches, or can spread to major areas of your skin, turning it rough and scaly, while leading to major bouts of discomfort and an almost impossible daily living situation. (2)
Some of the unconventional areas people suffer from dryness are their eyelids, elbows, chest, and ankles. These go along with other areas of your body commonly associated with dry skin, such as your face, hands, and feet. You may even be suffering from dry skin on more than one of these areas, or all of them! (3)
QUICK TIP: Dryness is commonly associated with itching, which can affect everything in your daily routine, including your sleep. Take your skin (and sleep) back by using an everyday moisturizer routine with natural ingredients you can trust! (4)
Knowing dry skin affects your body is one thing; preparing for it is another. This because SELF CARE is an important part of protecting your body from dryness for the rest of winter, and even into spring, when temperatures can fluctuate wildly and humidity levels can drop to dangerous levels.
Using an EVERYDAY BODY MOISTURIZER ROUTINE that’s simple with products that work together is super important, along with general tips such as avoiding chemicals that can be generally irritating to your entire body, like the fragrances and dyes in everything from skincare products to clothes and fabrics. (5)
Having a consistent MOISTURIZER ROUTINE that’s actually natural will also help to ensure your products are working together to make one another more effective. For example, even one harsh ingredient or dangerous chemical - especially those with alcohol like over-the-counter astringents or toners – can dehydrate your skin, cause irritation, and affect your oil production, leaving you at a disadvantage for the rest of your routine. (6)
MOISTURE: LOCKED IN
Another reason it’s so important you have a NATURAL BODY MOISTURIZER ROUTINE is because different age groups can experience different areas of dryness. For example, many elderly people will find their lower arms, legs, and elbows affected by dry skin, as well as other problems with their skin, like cumulative sun damage and wrinkling.
Other people in your family can be affected by hot showers, as well as through problems with humidity. Having everyone in the home use moisturizing products with natural ingredients can help manage all areas of dryness, as well as potential problems that can arise during the common sun damage months of spring and summer. (7)
A lesser-known reason it’s important to have a NATURAL BODY MOISTURIZER ROUTINE to fight bodily dryness is because once you come inside after being outdoors in the cold, your circulation is affected as a result of dilated blood vessel changes. Being sure to hydrate your entire body – and not just your hands – ensures you’re better prepared to fight bitter daily dryness. (8)
QUICK TIP: Don’t forget – your scalp and hair can dry out too! Be sure you’re moisturizing your body with natural ingredients like the plant-based oils and whipped shea butter found in our NATURAL FRAGRANCE BODY MOISTURIZER SYSTEM. (9)
A specific NATURAL BODY MOISTURIZER ROUTINE to combat dryness will also help to ensure that you’re not simply picking a product from one dangerous over-the-counter brand versus another, and that you’re not taking on too many products at once, which can not only make it difficult to know what’s helping or hurting you, but also what’s potentially one thing too much for your skin to handle.
Your routine also can feature products that are effective independently of one another, with each one performing a specific task to help you establish smoother and more radiant skin. These include CLEANING, MOISTURIZING, and TONING you to better skin health immediately. (10)
A final reason you need to have a consistent NATURAL BODY MOISTURIZER ROUTINE is because one will help relieve your stress. How great would it be if you didn’t have to worry about what products to add, where to use them, and if they will work together? A routine will enable you to simply take care of your skin without having to fear missing an important step in staving off dryness. (11)
