I don't know about you but I have tried just about every lotion and cream out there for dry skin therapy and haven't had any luck. Having dry, flaky skin, whether it be on your face or body is not only a nuisance; it is plain unattractive. I've come to the conclusion that most products out there are offering empty promises. The only dry skin creams that really work are ones that are natural and scientifically formulated so that the ingredients work in synergy.
You might think that these products would be out of reach and expensive but you'd be surprised to learn that they are actually quite affordable. Their ingredients are pure, natural, and used in high concentrations but they are not expensive because so little is spent on marketing, which is different in the case of the big skin care companies out there who put advertising over research. Here are 7 essential ingredients to look for in dry skin remedies so you can pinpoint the right products.
1. Functional keratin is a natural substance that is very similar to the protein in the skin thus it is an essential ingredient in dry skin therapy. Only choose products with keratin that is extracted from the wool of sheep. Functional keratin creates an invisible barrier when applied to keep out dirt and grime and it locks in moisture. It also helps your skin retain its natural moisture. When you apply functional keratin, it feels like you are putting on a layer of liquid skin. Anyone with dry skin would benefit from the use of a cream or lotion that contains functional keratin.
2. Maracuja is a unique passion fruit extract from Brazil. It is a natural emollient that is similar to the structure of the skin. Maracuja is rich in an essential fatty acid called linolenic acid, which nourishes and revitalizes dry skin, giving it a velvety feel. Dry skin remedies that contain maracuja are also effective at regulating sebum which will prevent your skin from becoming too dry or too oily.
3. Grapeseed oil is an effective ingredient in dry skin therapy because like maracuja it also contains linolenic acid and other essential oils. It creates an invisible film on your skin that keeps the bad stuff out and locks moisture in.
4. Crodamol OP is an emollient that makes your skin supple and smooth. It is light so it doesn't clog your pores like emollients found in mainstream dry skin remedies.
5. Babassu is a light wax from the fruit of a palm in the Brazilian Amazon. It gives your skin a smooth, velvety feel by locking in moisture. It has been used for centuries in dry skin therapy. It has even been proven to be effective on itchy, inflamed skin caused by eczema and other more serious conditions.
6. Wakame is Japanese sea kelp and it used to be Japan's best kept beauty secret. If the thought of eating sea kelp makes you cringe, don't worry; there are now dry skin remedies that contain wakame extract, known as phytessence wakame. It is rich in vitamins and minerals and can heal dry, inflamed skin as well as prevent aging.
7. Natural vitamin E is important in dry skin therapy because it heals dry, cracked skin. It is important to find a product that contains natural vitamin E for the best results. Many companies cut corners and use cheap, synthetic versions that aren't nearly as effective.
Now that you know what ingredients are important in dry skin therapy, start looking for creams and lotions for your face and body that contain these ingredients.
Remember to use only natural skin care products that contain high concentrations of these special ingredients.
