4 Solutions for Dry, Cracked Skin

Healthy skin is soft, supple, and moisturized, but when it loses moisture and that moisture isn’t replenished by frequent application of creams and lotions and drinking plenty of water, skin can become unhealthy, dry, and scaly. Severely dry skin can even begin to crack. What should you do when your skin is so dry that it forms gaping, painful cracks? Add moisture, stat.

Dry Skin Solution No. 1: Baths and Soaks
You may think that soaking dry, cracked skin in water is a good way to replenish lost moisture. And you’d be right — and wrong. Water can actually be drying to the skin, says Christine Lopez, MD, a dermatologist and assistant program director in the department of dermatology at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.

"Mere water will strip your skin of the essential oils," Dr. Lopez explains. But that doesn't mean that soaks and baths can't still be soothing for dry, cracked skin — you just have to bathe the right way.

Adding a few drops of a natural oil, like mineral, almond, or avocado oil, will help heal dry, cracked skin, Lopez says. However, it's important to limit those baths and showers to only a short time, no longer than 5 to 10 minutes with water that is only warm, not hot — hot water will only dry out the skin more. Lopez also suggests adding oatmeal or baking soda to the bath — about one cup for a tub full of water — to soothe the skin and help keep in moisture.

Dry Skin Solution No. 2: Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize
As soon as you get out of the bath, Lopez suggests gently patting skin dry with a towel — don't rub or remove all of the water. Next, apply a few drops of a natural oil or a rich moisturizing cream all over your body. This will help seal the moisture in.

For very dry, cracked skin, petroleum jelly is a good, inexpensive option to try. Lopez suggests rubbing in the petroleum jelly and letting it saturate the skin; if cracks are on the hands or feet, smear those areas well and cover them with cotton gloves or socks to hold the petroleum jelly in place overnight while you sleep.

Dry Skin Solution No. 3: Pumice With Caution
In general, pumicing or filing dry, cracked skin isn't a good idea.
"I would limit the use of pumice stones" and similar tools, says Lopez. "I wouldn't use that on skin other than heels or feet. On feet, where there's repeated trauma, you can collect dead skin. That is where pumice stones or files can remove extra layers of dead cells so that the moisturizing cream will be absorbed better."

Dry Skin Solution No. 4: Super Glue
Super Glue has another good use — dermatologists actually recommended using a dab of Super Glue on cracked skin to promote healing and prevent further drying. The active ingredient is the same as that of liquid bandages and other medical adhesives used to close cuts and wounds.

First, make sure the skin crack is cleaned, says Lopez. Then, squeezing the edges of the crack together, apply a bit of Super Glue — enough to hold it closed. Hold the edges together until the glue dries to make sure the crack doesn't open.

The best medicine for dry, cracked skin is prevention, according to Lopez. To prevent painfully dry, cracked skin, apply a daily moisturizer all over the body. But even if you have dry skin, Lopez suggests being careful about going too heavy on creams and oils on your face, as that can lead to acne.

How to Find the Best Skin Care Products for Your Face

Step 1

Determine your skin type. Splash your face five or six times with lukewarm water. If after a few minutes your skin feels tight, you have dry skin. If not, wait 20 minutes and press a facial tissue against your skin. If you see oily spots on the tissue, you have oily skin. If you see greasy areas on your T-zone only, you have combination skin.

Step 2

Stick to the basics. You'll only need three products to have an effective skin care routine. Begin by washing skin with a gentle cleanser that is formulated for your skin type; apply a daily moisturizer with an SPF of 30 and finish the evening with a night cream. Use these products regularly to pamper your complexion.

Step 3

Pick your top skin care need—such as wrinkle and fine line reduction—and narrow your product choices to those that specifically target that need, recommend the American Academy of Dermatology. While it is tempting to choose a skin care product that purports to meet several needs, such as cleansing and moisturizing, the academy says such products are not as effective or may cause excessive skin irritation.

Step 4

Read the ingredients lists on the various products you’re comparing. Verify that it contains a sunscreen ingredient if you plan to wear the skin care product during the day, according to skin care tester Paula Begoun. She says that effective sunscreen ingredients include avobenzone and zinc oxide. Ideally, the American Cancer Society reports that a daytime skin care product should contain an SPF of 15 or more.

Step 5

Use products with active ingredients. If you are looking to reduce the signs of aging, the best product for your skin type should include a proven active ingredient. Some anti-aging active ingredients include: retinoids, peptides, kogic acid, alpha hydroxy acids, hydroquinone or salicylic acid. Only a few active ingredients have the authoritative scientific studies to prove that they can reduce any signs of aging. Other inactive or active ingredients do work. However, there are not any studies to back up the manufacturer's claims.

Step 6

Toss out any skin care product that contains fragrances. A quick glance at the ingredient list, or even a whiff of the product through an open cap, can alert you to the presence of perfumes. The CNN Health website warns that fragrances in skin care products are the most common source of skin allergies and irritation.

Step 7

Ignore the price while comparing the products. The American Academy of Dermatology says price doesn’t indicate a product’s quality, and that even cheap, drugstore brands are beneficial to your skin.

Tips

• Save yourself time by letting third-party reviewers, such as those by "Consumer Reports" or your favorite beauty magazines, do the research and comparison work. Reading reviews can help you quickly sort through your skin care options and identify high-quality skin care products, whether they're cleansers, creams or serums.

What Influences Your Skin Type

What Influences Your Skin Type

Almost everything can influence skin type—both external and internal elements can and do impact the way your skin looks and feels. To effectively evaluate your skin type here are some of the factors that need to be considered, because it's possible that your skin is simply reacting to influences that are easily isolated or are within your control.

• Hormones
• Skin Disorders
• Genetic Predisposition
• Smoking & Secondhand Smoke
• Medications
• Diet
• Your Skin-Care Routine
• Stress
• Unprotected/Prolonged Sun Exposure
• Pollution
• Climate

Problem Ingredients Can Make Skin Worse

What many people don't realize is that the products they use can be worsening or even creating the very skin issue they are trying to resolve. For example, many products for treating acne contain high amounts of alcohol or other irritating ingredients (peppermint, menthol, citrus) which dry and irritate your skin, triggering more oil production!

You can never know your real skin type if you are using products containing ingredients that create problems. For example, if you are using products that contain irritants you can create dry skin and still make your oily skin worse (think dry skin on top, oily underneath). If you use overly-emollient or thick-textured products you can clog pores, potentially cause or worsen milia, and prevent skin cells from exfoliating, which makes your skin look dull. If you overly scrub your skin you can damage the barrier of skin causing more wrinkles and dry skin...and on and on. In order to know for sure how your skin really behaves, you have to figure out if your products are to blame. Here are some frequent offenders found in all types of skin-care products:

• Alcohol
• Menthol
• Thick Emollients
• Pore-Clogging Waxes
• Fragrance (even those derived from essential oils)
• Abrasive Scrubbing Agents
• Harsh/Drying Cleansing Agents
• Irritants (organic & synthetic)

5 Ways to Protect Your Skin

You need to protect your skin because of the vital role it has protecting your body. Skin care doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming, and can quickly become second nature, like brushing your teeth.

These five skin protection tips can keep your skin looking and feeling great, by guarding against a slew of skin woes, from chapped skin to prematurely aging to skin cancer.

1. Limit Sun Exposure

You’ve heard the message a zillion times, and there’s good reason for that unrelenting repetition. Ultraviolet rays emitted by the sun cause many types of skin damage:

• Skin cancer
• Wrinkles
• Freckles
• Age spots
• Discolorations
• Benign growths

Using skin care products that offer ultraviolet protection is one of the best ways to help keep your skin looking fresh and youthful:

• Use sunscreen every day and reapply regularly whenever you're outdoors for extended periods.
• Cover skin by wearing long-sleeved shirts, pants, and wide-brimmed hats.
• Stay indoors when the sun is at its most intense, usually between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m

Keep in mind that tanning beds are just as harmful as direct sunlight, as they also emit ultraviolet rays.

2. Stay Hydrated

Keeping your skin moist is essential to skin protection. Skin that is properly hydrated retains pliability and prevents chapped skin or scaly, flaky skin:

• Drink lots of water. This is key to hydrating your skin.
• Use the right moisturizing cream or lotion for your skin type and apply it right after drying off from your bath or shower. Avoid products that contain sodium lauryl sulfate, as this ingredient removes natural oils needed by your skin.
• Take warm (not hot) showers or baths, and limit them to between 5 and 10 minutes. It seems counterintuitive, but exposure to water actually dries out your skin. If dry skin persists, consider cutting back on the number of baths you take.

3. Take Health Precautions

Cold sores are caused by a viral infection of the skin bordering the lips, while bacteria can contribute to acne and other skin conditions. Practicing skin protection means paying close attention to what touches your skin, to lower your chances of exposure to germs:

• Don't share any personal items, such as lip balms or toothbrushes.
• Don't share drinks with other people.
• Avoid touching your face with your fingers or with objects like telephone receivers that have been used by others.

4. Use Gentle Skin Care

Washing your face is important to remove dirt, oils, germs, and dead cells. However, scrubbing your face causes irritation that can lead to chapped skin that, in turn, can leave skin vulnerable. For best results, you should:

• Wash your face twice daily with warm water and a mild cleanser.
• Gently massage your face with a washcloth, using a circular motion.
• Rinse thoroughly after washing to remove all soap and debris.
• Pat your skin dry — don’t rub — then apply your facial moisturizer.

Pay attention to odd freckles, moles, and growths on your skin, and consult your doctor if you notice any changes. For example, a change in a mole can indicate potential skin cancer. Be sure to treat any cuts that may occur to prevent infection. Other skin conditions that merit a dermatologist visit include frequent acne, inflamed or irritated dry skin, and skin rashes and irritations that don’t go away, as these could be signs of one of the many types of dermatitis, or skin inflammation.

With proper skin care to pamper skin from the outside and with a good diet to nourish from within, skin protection comes down to a few simple steps. But should you ever notice any problems, get medical attention to resolve them quickly and avoid putting your skin at risk.

Neutriherbs Best Skin Care Product

Why Skin Care So Important?

While a man can realize some professional benefits from being naturally attractive, for a woman it depends almost entirely on how much effort she puts into makeup, grooming and other efforts to look good.

Research shows that attractive people have an easier time getting hired, get better performance reviews, are promoted more often and make more money than their less attractive counterparts. What Wong and Penner found is that being considered attractive enough to command a wage premium at work doesn't necessarily require perfect bone structure.

Job status is often affected by the amount of time a person spends getting ready in the morning. And this is especially true for women.

For women, the premium they make for looking good at work is almost entirely explained by how well-groomed they are. For men, it has a little to do with grooming and a little to do with being naturally good-looking.

the real-life fact that when women in any profession spend more time on their appearances, it actually does cause people to take them more seriously.

To help people loving beauty more beautiful. This is Amarrie Cosmetics Spirit.
