What are the Main Causes of Dry Skin
There are various things that could be causing your dry skin and pores. Finding out the cause of your dry skin is key to finding its cure. The loss of your body’s natural oils is the most common cause for dry skin. This loss of your natural body oil leaves your skin defenseless to the environment. Your family line and genetics can also play a part in your dry skin. The least likely reason for your skin problem is some internal ailment, which could be a sign of another much more serious condition.
Misuse or Wrong type of moisturizer all together
First Problem most people apply their lotions and oils on dry skin. When your skin is still damp is the optimal time to moisturize your skin. Also Standard lotion is not near as effective as an organic oil like organic coconut oil is as a moisturizer. Another option is a lotion made from some type of organic oil like Organic Coconut oil.
Hot Baths and Showers
The longer you are exposed to water, especially hot water, the more likely your are to dilute and wash away the natural body oils that protect you skin and lock in your skin’s moisture. The first step is to choose showers over baths when your have a choice, and take a quick shower. Again the use of a body oil after the shower can reintroduce oils back to your skin. Again an Organic oil such as a Cold pressed oil like coconut oil is the best alternative.
Dry Hot Air
Dry Air a common if not the most common cause to dry skin. In the winter we expose ourselves to excessive hot dry air while try to over run the heater or cuddling up next to the stove. Also in summer we tend to be exposed to a much hotter and dryer climate. The best remedy is to use an organic lotion of organic body oil. Another good remedy is the use of a humidifier in your house.
The Type of Soap you Use
Soaps and detergents quickly strip away the body’s natural oils. Soaps that you might often see titled “bath bars” are actually one of the worst things to use for your skin. Worst, because they are loaded in detergents rather than standard soap, and their chemical compounds strip your skin of its natural oils. A gentle Organic Soap is a much better alternative than a bath bar, especially anything that reads anti-bacterial. Fragrance free is another great thing to look out for. One final thing when treating your skin, instead of scrubbing your skin, gently massage the lather over the skin. Follow this advice and you skin with become much more subtle and silky.
