Why aloe skincare is the best medicine for dry skin......
Dry skin can be very embarrassing and even painful. Below you’ll discover why aloe vera is nature’s medicine cabinet all in one amazing plant. If you’re wondering if you have dry skin the best way to tell is shortly after washing your face. It’s a good idea to take a couple of pieces of rice paper and blot on different areas of the skin including your t-zone (forehead, nose and chin).
If at this point you notice tightness or if it appears flaky and there was no oil on the rice paper, then you probably have dry skin. This can also feel itchy or painful if cracked and possibly spots of acne or rosacea may be present. If you see oil present on the paper from the t-zone, but experience tightening or flaking on you cheeks, then you have combination skin. There are other types of combination skin, but the important thing to keep in mind is that those with this type show 2 or more characteristics.
Dry skin affects people all year round as well as seasonally. I personally have had severely flaky skin seasonally in the winter time, but more recently (in the past year) I’ve noticed this even in the summer months.
Skin can become more easily irritated and can show abrasions or visible roughness. Aloe is a great way to correct and heal dry skin because the gel has an ability to hold onto moisture and keep even the deeper layers of the skin evenly hydrated. Skin that is dry and flaky more easily shows fine lines and wrinkles. Not only will aloe hydrate at a deeper level, but it will help to heal irritations on the surface and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
I recently started using a technique called dry brushing which works by stimulating the lymphatic system to move waste out of the body. This technique will have your skin feeling more moisturized and renewed in no time, usually you will start to see and feel a difference in as little as a week. While you do not use the brush on your face, this will help to eliminate toxins throughout your entire body which will result in better more balanced overall.
