Grahams Natural Discuss Care For Dry Skin
Dry skin is a condition that affects a significant percentage of adults and children. In extreme cases, the person feels itchy. It is possible to get relief not only from oils and creams but also by checking what you surround yourself with. The way you clean your skin, the clothes you wear and the air around you are also considerations that need to be made.
Here are some useful tips we compiled with some help from Grahams Natural, who produce and sell skincare cream, to help ease the irritation caused by dry skin:
Avoid Hot Showers
While the body may feel good when you’re in a hot shower, it does no favors for you especially if you are dealing with dry skin. Warm showers are recommended. Water that is too hot reduces the natural oils on the skin, which means the skin’s ability to retain moisture is compromised. Warm showers will restore the balance and keep the skin moisturized.
Gentle Cleansing
Go for products that help your skin retain moisture. There are soaps made specifically for dry skin. These are the best to try. Avoid fragrant soaps or those that have antibacterial properties as they can be quite harsh on your skin. Take a look at Grahams Natural Skincare and their products for help with this. Dermatologists recommend picking cleansers that have ceramides, which are molecules that help the skin to hold in moisture. Ceramides may deplete as one age but some soaps and cosmetics have ceramides that aid in preventing dry skin.
It is advisable to minimize the use of cleansers that have alcohol as a component. Whether they are body scrubs or toners, they may irritate the skin and should only be used once in a while.
Watch How You Shave
Shaving does not only remove hair, but it also removes the oily layer on the skin. If you have dry skin shaving can irritate your skin and make it worse. It is advisable to shave after taking a bath as the hair is softer so you will not have to scrape too hard to remove the unwanted hair. Do not shave in the opposite direction that the hair is growing. It also helps if you use shaving cream.
Additionally, ensure that your razor has sharp blades. If you notice that they are getting blunt, replace them, and ensure that you use rubbing alcohol for blades that you are re-using.
