Dry skin is not our friend.

Our skin is the barrier between our inner bodies and the outside world, an organ all on its own it is the largest organ of the Human body. The skin and all parts within it comprise what’s known as the integumentary system, this includes hair, follicles, nails, sweat, and oil glands. This barrier requires continual care and support as it protects our internal environment from many external factors such as temperature, bacteria, chemicals, etc.

Dryness occurs when the skin loses moisture and as a result, can flake, itch, peel, and in some cases manifest eczema, tightness, bleeding, and more. While many underlying conditions cause skin dryness and require more attention internally, externally we can keep our skin healthy by keeping it moisturized and hydrated. In considering this it’s important that we are mindful of what we expose our skin to and put on our skin by way of the detergents we use, soaps, sanitizers, and lotions.

Though we should be diligent and check the ingredients of all of the products we use, today we are focused on MOISTURIZING dry skin. The best way to do this is with an oil or oil-based cream or water-based lotion that also contains oil to seal in moisture. These may not work for everyone, however, oil moisturizers as opposed to water-based only lotions are more effective at moisturizing the skin and improving its overall health. Water is certainly important for our skin but most beneficial to add to its moisture when taken internally than when applied externally; so please stay hydrated.
