Tiffany’s Tips - Solutions For Dry Body Skin by Tiffany Vuitton

Dry body skin should not be treated as some sort of dramatic condition that is a flaw to one’s health. According to hereditary factors, the oil secretion of the skin glands will be lower than for normal skin. Dry body skin appears at people of all ages, from babies to the elderly with the mention that small children and old people are more prone to skin dryness. There is a very simple explanation behind it: babies have a very sensitive dermis with immature protection layers, which makes them more vulnerable to the environment. With the elderly, dry body skin is explained by the reduced functions of the skin that decay because of age.
If no dermatological problem is behind skin dryness, then the possibilities to treat it are manifold and very much within reach. Moisturizers are the main help in the fight against dry skin, but their efficiency is increased or decreased by the cleaning products used as well as by the hygiene routine specific for every person. Normally, body lotions should be applied after showering or bathing when the skin is still damp. Plus, it is advisable to spend less time in water because it aggravates dryness.
Dry body skin become more bothersome in winter or after sunbathing. In winter always use very creamy lotions, and try to complement their use with all sorts of natural products around the house. Thus, a very appreciated treatment for dry body skin is extra-virgin olive oil, coconut or almond oil massaged or rubbed into the skin. They are the preferable alternative to body lotions because of their purity. Nevertheless, while body lotions may contain fragrance or chemicals, they are not as messy as natural essential oils. Yet, it’s your choice first and foremost!
When it comes to sun exposure, although it doesn’t sound very well or pleasant, sun bathing is out of limits when you have dry body skin. Even if you go to the beach or lie around the swimming pool, you should not try to tan, a maximum protection factor is required in the sunscreen you use. The main consequence of the sun exposure for dry body skin is an even higher dryness with premature aging, blisters formation and rapid skin decay. Last but not least, ignoring the condition will not make you feel any better, so act on it!
