Winter is
upon us and oh how I am not anticipating the chappy lips, dry skin and scalp that comes with it! We all know
how frustrating this can be. The constant itching and dry, dead skin falling
off when you itch, uhk!
Most times
we try to combat the dryness with an easy fix by running to the supermarket to
grab some commercialized lotion. Sad thing is, most often the chemicals that
are inside these products often tends to dry out the skin even more, leaving
you more frustrated and your skin becomes scaly.
Sometimes
depending on how dry your skin is, you may also turn to a dermatologist/doctor
for help and she/he would prescribe a cream or gel to fix this matter. Yes
those can work too, but what happens when you run out and have to visit the doctor again to just
get a prescription for a cream etc. It all just seems so daunting and a little
costly.
Well, I am here to help you solve dry skin problems in a healthy and possibly
cheaper way.
Using natural things for the body is never a
wrong choice and you may be surprised how they work more effectively than the
store bought cancerous chemicals. Here are my tips..
Raw
Shea Butter
It’s almost as if I
could write only shea butter as the only recommendation because this stuff is GOOD!
It is best to purchase unrefined raw shea butter thats unscented as you know that
is more organic. Shea Butter is a good by if you ask me as it's possible to use as
it is and can also be used in different ways including in your hair.
Organic
Glycerin
You then
want to add some Glycerin to the Shea Butter to kick up a well hydrating mix.
There are organic glycerin on the market like Sky Organics Vegetable Glycerine
and I’m pretty sure you can find others of your interest by just browsing the
web or visiting local organic stores. Note: You can use a mixer to combine all the ingredients with the Shea Butter.
Olive
Oil
Now you
want to grab some organic olive oil or another oil of your choice like almond
oil for example. The purpose of the oil is to act as a sealant, which means it
keeps all the good moisture from the shea butter and glycerine into the skin
and not just on the surface of the skin. Having an oil base is
essential.
Essential
Oil
We make
it a bit more fun with using an essential oil. Oils like lavender oil, lemongrass
oil, rose oil, peppermint oil etc. The essential oil is to add a little natural
scent/fragrance to the whole mix and to give a relaxing feeling. This is totally
optional.
Rose
Water
Another option
is rose water which is scented water made from rose petals, if you want to option
out of an essential oil.
Waahla!
You have the perfect natural body cream to get rid of dry skin naturally during winter. Healthy
and long lasting all at once. But among all this, remember to stay hydrated also. Drink lots of water during the day. If you're not hydrated on the inside the odds are thin that your skin would show any improvement.
