You don’t need to buy an expensive moisturizing treatment for your dry skin. If you’re up to the task, you can try making your own moisturizing treatment. I would like to share some recipes that I have tried to correct dry skin condition.
1. Blend a cup of ripe strawberries, a medium banana and three tablespoons of yogurt. Put the mixture in a small jar. Use a clean popsicle stick or plastic spoon to scoop out the mask. Massage it on your clean skin. Use a circular motion when applying so the mask can really penetrate deeper into your dermis.
These ingredients are natural moisturizing ingredients. They also work on skin rejuvenation. Yogurt has exfoliating properties that can remove dead skin cells that can contribute to dry skin. Strawberries, on the other hand, are good sources of antioxidants that can help fight damaging free radicals.
2. Take an aloe vera leaf and cut it open. Use the sharp edge of a knife to remove the pulp. Mix it with a little coconut oil. Massage it on your dermis. Leave it there for an hour before washing it off.
Aloe vera has natural moisturizing properties. In fact, it can help prevent dryness of the dermis by locking moisture into skin tissues and doubling the skin’s moisture-retaining functions. Coconut oil is packed with vitamin E which can nourish and moisturize skin cells and tissues.
3. Mix sesame oil and olive oil. Apply it on your skin. Gently massage it. You can also slightly heat this mixture to provide a soothing effect to the dermis and allow the pores to open up.
Sesame oil has moisturizing properties. It also works to improve the flexibility of the dermis. Olive oil, on the other hand, infuses oleic acid to the dermis. This acid has the ability to improve the permeability of the dermis.
After using these treatments, wash your skin and pat it dry. Immediately apply an effective moisturizer. It must be composed of ingredients that can moisturize and correct
Look for Phytessence Wakame, CynergyTK, and Manuka Honey. Phytessence Wakame is a type of seaweed that can help prevent the sudden loss of hyaluronic acid. This acid is actually responsible for the internal lubrication of the collagen fibers. CynergyTK is an anti-aging ingredient that can increase missing keratin. Keratin is a form of complex protein responsible for the growth of collagen. Manuka honey is a more powerful type of honey that can lock moisture in skin tissues and prevent sudden lipid loss. It also helps duplicate the moisture-producing functions of the dermis.
