Dry skin is very irritating especially in the winter months.
Here is what many people find help give life back to your skin.
1. Drink water, Drink at least 8 - 8oz glasses of water a day.
Some say drink half your weight in ounces of water each day.
2. Humidify your home... if not during the day, make sure you
humidify at night. What we find works well is to put a damp
towel in each room that someone is sleeping in. By morning
the towel is dry and everyones throats and nose are still hydrated
and helps prevent bloody noses.
3. Take warm, not hot showers or baths... While in the shower, use
an exfoliater. Ex foliating can be done,
with L'Bri's ground almond exfoliator and/or loofa sponge, or
wash cloth. Use them gently to remove all the dead skin. Dry skin
is dead skin. The more dead skin is removed, the better you will feel.
4. .When you get out of the shower pat part - way dry and then put on an
aloe base lotion body butter. The aloe will bring moisture down into your
skin to heal and moisturize your skin. Using Aloe is proactive in keeping
your skin moisturized. Don't just use Aloe when you skin is sore or dry.
5. To heal dry skin use pure aloe... If you let your skin crack, and dry out to
much it will be come irritated. Irritated skin eventually, become infected.
If this happens, put on pure aloe for a few days and it should heal.
Remember your skin needs moisture. So keep it healthy with water and aloe.
