Skin Care for Dry Skin Problems

Dry skin can give a very coarse and rough look to your skin and can be very difficult to treat. There could be various reasons for the dry skin problems, from the diet taken, hereditary problems, dehydration, climatic changes, and many more. The skin gets dehydrated very quickly and after washing tends to tighten up. Here are a few things you can do to treat your dry skin and have beautiful looking skin

• Quit using tap water to wash your face at it does more damage by making our skin drier due to the deposits in them. Making use of mineral water under such circumstances is the best possible solution after which the entire skin should be carefully and gently patted dry with a soft towel or cloth.


• The combination of hard water and harsh soaps are very detrimental for anyone with dry skin problems, as they seem to remove the little amount of sebum and moistness present on the skin’s surface. Using moisturizers allows you to replenish the skin pores with the water, whereas the natural oils present protect the outer surface.


• Regular moisturizing and massaging of the skin may do it some good by stimulating the glands and keeping the skin supple. Generous amount of cleansing with oily products will help the skin to get replenished with the sustenance that it had been craving for.
  It would be a good idea to apply baby oil on your skin before moving into the shower, as it is the best kind of help for an individual serious about dry skin care.


• It is necessary to moisturize your skin twice daily, so that the skin gets lesser chance to dry out.

There are several different dry skin care methods and products around so it is up to you to choose the best among these solutions that is right for you. Whatever products you choose must be selected carefully and their use stopped immediately if any side effects are noticed.

Bare Minerals Makeup (fine for acne prone skin)

I have been using the Bare Minerals makeup system for several years now. I could not ask for a better product that suits me! It is a very light makeup that feels light on your face but just adds an overall glow and accent to you. My favorite aspect of it is that it takes me all of five minutes to put on. Plus, there is no intricate application– a brush here, a brush there, and you are absolutely glowing.

The only disadvantage I would list about this product is it can be a bit pricey if you have not been a big makeup wearer in the past. Personally, I used to get whatever was on sale at Walgreens and wear that. However, for the investment, you get a full kit that looks better and feels better than any of those stores have.

The BareMinerals base foundation includes SPF 15 and is supported by the Skin Cancer Institute. The Mineral Veil is the finishing product that just makes you look “glowy” and warm. With my old makeup, if I was in a hurry, it always looked like I was putting it on sloppy. With the BareMinerals kit, even a hurried brush looks pretty darn good, if I must say so myself. It just makes me light up!

This may sound silly to some of you child-less people out there, but this stuff is completely non-toxic. Alright, my kids are a bit adventurous and like to put on mommy’s makeup sometimes. Well, when it is ALL OVER their face, I am not really concerned about their safety because the BareMinerals set is all natural ingredients. It sticks true to its namesake but keeping minerals in the ingredient list and nothing else.

Even though I am getting older, I have acne prone skin. I tend to have acne breakouts once or twice a month. The Bare Minerals set does come with a concealer that blends the redness, so the puffy redness is not noticeable. With most concealers, there is a “heaviness” problem in that it feels like you are wearing a brick on your face. The concealer, like the foundation, is light as air.
