Whether you are twenty, or fourty, to maintain healthy and soft skin can be really difficult. When you or your partner touches your skin you want it to feel soft and smooth. Especially in the summer time, when you are preparing for the beach. Is your skin getting really dry and dull? Itchy, dry skin is very unpleasant. As we age, our skin develops so many skin problems such as open or enlarges pores, dry or dull skin. This is not going to be happening because of the hormonal changes, but also because of sun exposure, hot bath or shower, harsh soaps, insufficient nutrition and genetics. There are no permanent solutions to turn the clock back, but there are many ways to slow it down. So what can you do to soothe your cracking and dull skin?
If you are women, then you defiantly want soft skin. For that many of us visit spas. What makes the spa so different than what we can do? They offer many treatments to soften our skin. We can do some of these treatments ourselves at home. Sure we could. Will you give yourself a chance to do these treatments? I bet you are.
Before we start, I am not a beauty expert; I have never been to any cosmetology or beauty school. I am definitely not a beauty guru. What ever that even is, these are just the tricks and tips that have worked for me and I know that it surely worked for you.
Wash your face everyday
Wash your face twice a day with good cleanser rather than harsh soaps. Select a cleanser that doesn’t contain sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) because it not only dehydrate your skin but also makes it dry and rough. Wash your face with warm water and pat dry-not rub.
Moisturizer
Moisturize your skin after each bath to soften the skin and peel off dead layers. Don’t use commercial moisturizers because they don’t give such good results. You can use beauty aids mineral oils like
- Petroleum jelly
- Corn Huskers lotions
- Baby oil
- Almond oil
- Olive oil
- Peanut oil
I know we must admit it that little bit greasy but believe me, it’s extremely good to get soft skin.
Exfoliate
Home made defoliators are best because they all natural and it also ensures your skin to stay soft all the times. You can make Exfoliator easily at home by mixing natural ingredients. I personally used many home made exfoliates and it gives fabulous result. Some home made Exfoliators which I personally use are given below.
