• Top 3 Causes of Dry SkiIts that time of the year
  when were all too aware of thicker blankets and
  our couch potato needs. The longer nights and
  temperature drops tells us we should be very
  much bothered about the cold and what it does to
  our skin. Its common to have dry skin
  occasionally but more than other seasons, winter
  always subjects us to lack of skin moisture which
  then results in small, dry flakes, and itching.
  Find out how you can give your skin some love in
  this dry, humid air.

• What Causes Dry Skin?
• The winter itch according to the University of
  Iowa Hospitals and Clinics is a very common skin
  condition during winter or when the humidity is
  relatively low. It can happen to anyone at any
  age and genderregardless of how healthy your
  skin is. Imagine this. Youre ready to relax in
  your pyjamas with a cup of hot chocolate watching
  Netflix. Until you notice your skins redness and
  the itching becomes uncomfortable. And while its
  pretty obvious that lack of moisture especially
  in the cold weather causes constant dry skin
  problems, there are also others that you just
  cant ignore

• 1. Seasons and Weather Conditions
• Lets face it. Too hot, we burn, too cold we
  freeze and our skin suffers the worst way
  possible because of exposure to extreme and humid
  temperatures in both cold and hot weather.
  Without enough water, in the top layer of the
  skin, it doesnt function properly which is
  sometimes caused by decreased amount of
  protective skin oil. Pay more attention to your
  skin and try to see how to switch up your
  skincare for winter.
• 2. Hot Baths and Cold
• Showers Everyone love long, luxurious baths and
  showers whether youre having them in the tub
  with a glass of wine nearby or the pool sipping
  margaritas in between laps. However, pools can be
  heavily chlorinated which is harmful to your skin
  and staying too long in the hot tub is just as
  bad. Try to tone it down and limit your bathing
  time to ten minutes during winter. And if its
  too cold, shower in lukewarm instead of hot water.

• 3. Detergents and Bath Soaps with Harsh
  Ingredients
• There are a lot of skin products formulated to
  remove oil from your skin and most of them are
  soaps in your favorite brands. But if you really
  want to relieve dry skin on body, try replacing
  your soap and choose the ones with hydrating
  ingredients, like our Perfect Forms Shower Gel
  (we love this one because it contains lots of
  hydrating algae) but also recommend those that
  have plant oils such as vegetable oils, cocoa
  butter, olive oil, aloe vera, jojoba, and avocado
• How to Treat Dry Irritated Skin
• comfort of long nights, skin itchiness become
  worrisome and is in it for the seasonal haul or
  longer. Sometimes its not really about
  underlying skin conditions or finding the right
  skin care product. Aging skin can be a factor to
  dryness too, regardless of the season. But
  finding relief for extra dry skin doesnt have to
  be that challenging since there are more than
  enough options to treat it. Check them out in the
  steps below

1. You Should be Prepared and So Should Your Home

• When the air is dry we tend to have extremely dry
  skin. This is true for winter because the air is
  dry both outdoors and indoors. Since we love to
  stay home and take advantage of the cozy mood,
  our skin is going to be vulnerable from the
  dryness of the air. We suggest installing a
  humidifier to maximize the moisture in the area
  of your house where you spend most of your time.

2. Moisturise

• Without a shadow of a doubt, you probably guessed
  this because its one of the most basic and most
  popular solutions in the history of skin care and
  dry skin treatment. You just have to find the
  right product and you dont have to look far.
  Germaine De Capuccini offers a moisturiser and
  hydrator with its Hydracure Hydractive Cream.
  This advanced hydration cream with a lightweight,
  silky feel comes in a 50ml size, guaranteed to be
  worth every drop. But while there are many
  moisturising products out there, you have to
  choose one that fits your skins needs.

• 3. Exfoliate
• We know that serums are the bomb and our very own
  Hyaluronic Force Serum is exactly what us ladies
  need for thirsty skin in dire need of water. But
  even if we religiously apply and commit to it as
  our holy grail in skincare routine, its just not
  enough sometimes to rely on hydration on
  moisturising. Dry skin will remain dry when you
  dont add some exfoliation. Try a gentle scrub
  like our Excel Therapy Silky Scrub Enzyme
  Exfoliant. This super gentle scrub comes with
  lactic acid to help you hydrate and exfoliate
  while covering signs of premature aging. If your
  skin is more sensitive then skip the exfoliator
  and use a wet wash cloth in treating your
  routine.
• 4. Stop with The Scratching
• Your skin is already irritated and we understand
  that the itch is very distracting and
  uncomfortable but scratching wont help. It will
  only worsen the dryness and may cause infection
  if you forgot to sanitize and wash your hands.
  Use a moisturiser to manage the itch or apply a
  cold pack to relieve itchiness. Youre better off
  without scars no matter how tempting it is to
  scratch. Just dont.

• 5. Shy Away From Bath Scrubs, Sponges, and
  Washcloths
• You want to get rid of impurities. We get it. But
  scrubbing too much and using a sponge on your
  body when bathing can be harsh and therefore
  damages your skin. If youre too fond of your
  scrubs and sponges then make sure to use them
  lightly on your body. Then towel-dry lightly as
  well or use an oil-based exfoliant like our
  Perfect Forms Oil Phytocare Tonic Scrub. This
  product is rich in EFAs from organic baobab oil
  and can be gently buffed off with a dry towel,
  leaving behind super soft skin. So now we know
  what causes dry skin the most. And we discussed
  some of the most basic ways you can relieve skin
  dryness and have a better chance of coping with
  the cold weather while keeping your skin pampered
  and moisturised. Paired with a healthy diet high
  in essential fatty acids (EFAs) and regular
  intake of water, plus the right skincare
  products, youll have little to worry about and
  will be more than prepared for this season. Go on
  and brave the cold with a happy skin.
