Find The Best Skin Lotion For Dry Skin
With cold weather season upon us, finding the best dry skin lotion or skin moisturizer can bring welcome relief to dry itchy skin. As the temperature and humidity drop or skin is robbed and depleted of natural oils and hydration that keeps skin soft and supple.
Replenishing moisture is the key to reducing flaking, itching and irritation. Finding the best dry skin lotion requires understanding the active ingredients that not only soothes dryness but renews skin cell rejuvenation and eliminates cracking and inflammation.
What Causes Dry Skin?
Dermal layers rely on several natural compounds to maintain smoothness and elasticity. Associated with all pores are sebaceous glands that produce sebum (skin oil). During warmer months, sebaceous glands are more active and produce adequate oil to maintain solvency and moisture. As humidity drops and temperatures lower, sebum is produced in lower quantities. Other factors such as wind and sun damage (on clear days) further acts to strip oils and dry out our skin.
Additionally, Hyaluronic Acid – a naturally occurring compound in the dermal layers, has to work overtime as temperatures drop. Hyaluronic Acid helps the cells retain moisture and is critical for healthy cell rejuvenation.
While many lotions can provide temporary relief to dryness, many leave a greasy or oily feel and fail to penetrate the skin or to replenish hydration or nutrients. The best dry skin lotion should address moisture while improving retention and reducing redness or irritation. Several ingredients we have found to work best are Emu Oil, Shea Butter, Aloe, and Soy Lecithin.
Emu Oil has become the “miracle oil” of dry skin. Long used in Australia, Emu Oil is a natural moisturizer that improves cell health while penetrating deep into the skin – while oily or greasy residue. It has been proven to be super-effective at reducing irritation and flakes and is a natural anti-inflammatory. Its anti-bacterial properties reduce the risk of bacteria in cracking or splitting skin and is one of the most effective ingredients for dry skin lotion.
Many of us are aware of the medicinal properties of Aloe and Shea Butter. Both are used commonly to heal and treat burns for their effectiveness and soothing and healing. Both restore and replenish hydration and accelerating healing. Soy Lecithin is an amino acid-based protein that helps increase cellular turnover and strengthens the molecular bonding – improving skin rejuvenation, healing and increasing elasticity and smoothness.
The best dry skin lotion tackles the job of giving you smooth, moisturized skin while enhancing cell regeneration, soothing irritation and inflammation, and infusing deep hydration. Get quick and long-term healthy relief from dry skin while improving texture and tone.
