Natural Beauty Advice | What To Look For In A Moisturizer For Dry Skin

As someone who suffers with dry skin, I am constantly looking for remedies that I can use. There are tons of different moisturizers for dry skin out there but how do you know which one is best.

Well personally I prefer to try out a few and see what suits my skin the best. I think it is important to go see a dermatologist to confirm your own diagnosis. Being skin care experts, they often are very happy to provide you with hints and tips for managing your condition.

For example, did you know that dry skin can be a symptom of a lack of vitamin B? Women in particular are prone to having a shortage of vitamin B and they are very important. Not only do they help your skin but they also help regulate your moods. Vegetarians and vegans may find it difficult to source sufficient vitamin B12 from their diet so may wish to discuss a supplement with their doctor.

Dry skin is often worse in winter as we all have the heating on and the humidity levels are low. One solution is to buy a humidifier but I found that putting on my night cream onto a damp face. When looking to buy moisturizers look for ones containing petrolatum, ceramides, sodium lactate and other emulsifying agents. If you want to try organic skin care – either shop bought or the made at home variety, look at using products based on roses, elderflower and chamomile.

Dry skin, like all skin types, needs a daily skin care routine in order to keep it in optimum condition. You should cleanse and moisturize every day. Some people will also tell you to use a toner but that is probably not the best advice when dealing with dry skin. But if you insist, make sure it is one aimed at dry or sensitive skin. Do not use one suitable for oily skin as it will only dry your skin further.

Dry skin is already rough and scaly or itchy so you need to make sure you moisturise from the inside out. Drink plenty of water and/or green teas. Make sure you are getting sufficient omega 3 and 6 fats in your diet. Lack of sleep and stress will adversely affect dry skin so it is worth putting some thought into relaxation therapies such as Yoga and gentle exercise like Pilates.

Look into having some facials. Gentle exfoliation can work wonders as it will remove the layer of dead cells on the skin’s surface. Even the greatest skin care routine can benefit from a couple of hours at a salon. Your beautician will know the best products to use on your skin. The massaging action nourishes the skin by pumping more blood into the cells. Being pampered for a couple of hours is always enjoyable.

Always buy a quality moisturizer for dry skin as proper hydration is the best cure.
