How to Treat Dry Skin

Are you struggling with dry, itchy, or irritated skin? It's frustrating and uncomfortable, but there are ways to soothe skin and improve your skin's health. In this blog post, we'll discuss how to soothe irritated skin, ingredients to calm skin, and the importance of exfoliating, plus how to exfoliate dry skin.

 

What Causes Dry Skin, Itchy Skin, Sensitive Skin?

Skin rashes and conditions can be caused by a variety of factors, such as harsh chemicals, allergies, and weather changes. However, you don't have to suffer in silence. Typically, you'll want to avoid putting any sort of chemicals on sensitive, dry, irritated skin. Always check with your dermatologist if skin trouble persists. 

 

Ingredients to Help Irritated Skin

Here are some soothing ingredients to look for in your skin care products:

  • Aloe vera

  • Oatmeal

  • Chamomile

  • Green tea

Each of these ingredients has its own properties that soothe and nourish skin and help alleviate dry skin, itchy skin, or sensitive skin. So much information is available about using natural ingredients to soothe skin but it won't all fit here! Check out our skin care ingredients blog post for more on that.

In addition to using soothing ingredients, exfoliating is an essential step in any skin care routine. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells and unclogs pores, allowing your skin to absorb moisturizers and serums more effectively.

Translation: exfoliating helps moisturizers work! Exfoliation + moisturizer = bye bye dry skin! It's also important to note that exfoliating too much can damage the skin barrier, so be sure to limit it to 1-2 times per week.

 

How to Exfoliate

Now, let's talk about how to exfoliate dry or irritated skin. Sensitive skin requires a gentle, yet effective skin care system. A facial cleansing spin brush system is a tool that helps to deep-cleanse the skin, removing dirt, oil, and impurities that can lead to breakouts and skin irritation. It also helps to promote circulation, giving your skin a healthy glow. Swapping out the cleansing brush for a gentle exfoliator should do the trick to remove a layer of dead, dry skin and allow moisturizer to absorb easily. 

When choosing a facial cleansing spin brush system, look for one with gentle bristles that won't irritate your skin. It's also important to use it in conjunction with a gentle cleanser that won't strip your skin of its natural oils.

 

Basically...

Taking care of dry, itchy, or irritated skin requires a comprehensive approach. Look for products that contain soothing ingredients such as aloe vera, oatmeal, chamomile, and green tea. Exfoliate regularly but be careful not to overdo it, and consider incorporating a facial cleansing spin brush system into your skin care routine. Always follow by a your favorite moisturizer and watch your skin transform. By following these tips, you'll be well on your way to healthy, radiant skin!
