Moisturising your body with a quality
product will help protect your skin
and lock in the moisture. Very dry
skin is well suited to honey and shea
butter-based body products and
nourishing body oils. But if your skin
is ultra sensitive, choose an all-natural
product without synthetic perfumes to
prevent triggering a reaction.
Everyone’s skin behaves differently
from season to season, so you might
find that you’ll use a moisturiser for
dry skin in winter and a lighter one
in summer.
Scented moisturisers can be a great
substitute for perfume, and chances
are your favourite brand of perfume
has a lotion in the same scent. If
it’s not heavy duty enough for your
skin, mix it with a rich fragrance-free
lotion to keep your skin smooth and
smelling sweet.
Regular exfoliation in the colder
months will prove to be as beneficial
to your skin as keeping it moisturised,
buffing away the dead cells that might
otherwise leave your skin looking dull.
The use of a gentle exfoliator once
or twice a week will simultaneously
eliminate dry and flaky skin, as well
as aid in the absorption of body
moisturiser. Even better, experts
believe the very action of removing
the redundant top layer stimulates the
production of new skin cells further
down in the epidermis. The result?
Brighter, healthier skin.
