Dry skin is very difficult to deal with because it is more sensitive to environmental factors than other skin types. It is also less resistant to the aging process, and it can easily become itchy and irritated. However, it’s nothing like treating very dry skin.
Very dry skin doesn’t come from mistreated dry skin. It is a sub type of dry skin and is characterized by sensitive, tight and extremely dry skin. What makes treatment even more difficult is that traditional treatments for dry skin may not even work for very dry skin.
Fortunately this type of skin is very treatable as long as you follow a good skin care plan. This plan should, without a doubt, include a skin rash rescue to help deal with sudden allergic reactions. Not only will certain products help, but lifestyle changes are vital to keep very dry skin healthy.
A Skin Care Routine for Very Dry Skin
Normal dry skin is usually treated with cream cleansers and creamy moisturizers, however, if you’re trying to treat very dry skin you’ll probably need to make the switch to oils.
Olive oil is an excellent cleanser for very dry skin. Simply massage a little bit all over your face and place a warm, moist washcloth over it. The washcloth will cool off and you will be able to remove the excess oil with ease. Finish off by applying your moisturizer.
If your normal moisturizer isn’t doing the trick, then you can also use rose hip oil to help moisturize your skin. It absorbs into the skin very quickly and treats dryness almost instantly. You can reapply this product as often as you need to, but make double sure that you use sunblock if you plan on heading outside.
If you don’t want to change your current skin care routine, just make sure that none of the products you are using are made with fragrances or alcohol. Both alcohol and fragrances can cause irritation and dehydration, so before purchasing any product, make sure to read the labels.
The Best Skin Rash Rescue Plan
If your skin is still dry, irritated or has developed rashes, then you may want to try and make a few changes in your daily habits. In fact, no skin rash rescue plan is complete if you don’t implement a few lifestyle changes. The right products will help, but bad habits will only counteract their effect.
Start by making some changes in your diet: eliminate (or moderate) your caffeine, alcohol and soda intake. These drinks promote dehydration, itchiness, and possible rashes. These simple changes will not only help improve your skin, but will also improve your overall health.
Using a sensitive skin balm for rashes is also a good idea. Any product that contains aloe vera, rose hip seed oil, or licorice root extract will help soothe your skin when it is itchy. They can also help moisturize the affected area.
Other changes you can make to better your skin and lifestyle are: changing synthetic fabrics for natural fibers, using a humidifier, and drinking plenty of water. Consistency is the key in this case. None of these suggestions will work if you do not commit to a long term lifestyle change.
BIOSKINBALM is a dry skin care product that contains Helix aspersa muller extract. This ingredient, also known as snail serum has a soothing and moisturizing effect on dry and sensitive skin. BIOSKINBALM can has also been known to help treat eczema & dermatitis.
