Dry skin is more susceptible to
dehydration skin due to harsh
environmental factors especially winters due to heating and air conditioning. It may also be caused by
medications, harsh skin products or smoking. The signs of a dehydrated
skin are similar to sunburn; tight feel feeling, burning sensation and a
rough or flaky texture. To exfoliate this kind of skin, you might need to
consider using a 100% organic, natural scrub that will also moisturize your
skin and seal in moisture at the same time. The best part is that you prepare it yourself!
Ingredients
2 table spoons sea salt or sugar
1 table spoon virgin argan oil
1 table spoon organic honey
Mix the ingredients in a container.
Leave the mixture to rest for 5 minutes to allow the sugar/sea salt to dissolve
slightly. Apply on your moist face and rub it in circular motion to gently
exfoliate. Wash it off with warm water and pat your skin dry with a clean
towel. Tone and moisturize your face with a deep moisturizer to seal in
moisture. The sea salt/sugar exfoliates, argan oil moisturizes while
the honey seals in moisture to your dehydrated skin. Sea salt specifically
detoxifies and cleanses your skin. This scrub should only be used at most twice
a month as sugar/sea salts can be abrasive and end up irritating your skin more
if used frequently. As with any at
home remedy, you might want to first test for skin sensitivity on a small patch
of your skin before use. If skin sensitivity does not occur, continue use.
