Although skin is the largest organ of the body, it can often be the largest neglected part of the
\nbody as well. Our skin is subjected to so many different factors, from the change of seasons,
\nenvironmental factors, possible irritations and allergens, and daily activities. Even in the South,
\nin the winter season it is especially important to take extra special care of our skin due to the
\nchanging seasons that can cause chapped lips, cracked hands and feet, and dry flaky skin
\n(often referred to as ashy skin, when the skin takes on a grayish flaky appearance). So to give
\nyou some pointers, let\u2019s begin from head to toe.<\/h5>\n
Your scalp must be given some TLC. If you suffer from dry scalp, using oils such as Moroccan
\noil or Argan oil can be beneficial in giving your scalp some necessary hydration without weighing
\nyour hair down and making it heavy. Moisturizing your hair and scalp will also help to prevent
\ndandruff, which essentially is dry skin that flakes and sheds. Research which hair oils are
\nrecommended for your hair type.<\/h5>\n
When we think of healthy skin, the face is most often what we will think of, but don\u2019t forget your
\nneck and decollate (or chest). For your skin type, whether it is dry, oily, sensitive or
\ncombination, you MUST moisturize your skin. Use the same type of moisturizer on your face for
\nyour neck and decollate. Oily skin types should use a moisturizer that is water-based, or
\nhydrophilic. Drier skin types should use moisturizers that are lipophilic, or oil-based. If you
\nhave combination skin, using two different types of moisturizers is not unheard of. You can
\nconcentrate the water-based moisturizer in the oilier area (which tends to be the T-zone, which
\nincludes the forehead, nose and chin.) Applying the moisturizer to damp skin after cleansing is
\nideal as well. You never want to \u201cdry\u201d your skin anyway. So remember after cleansing your
\nskin, never blot your skin dry, but use that time to apply your other skincare products and
\nmoisturizer. And don\u2019t forget those lips! Exfoliate your lips to rid any dry and flaky chapping
\nlips, and using lip balms regularly will keep your lips moisturized. Avoid licking your lips, as it
\nwill only exacerbate chapped lips and make them drier.<\/h5>\n
For all day moisture, it is recommended to use a longer lasting form of moisture for your skin. I
\nlove Shea butter! I\u2019m talking all natural Shea butter in it\u2019s purest form. When purchasing Shea
\nbutter, it will be harder and yellow in color, but melts with heat and room temperature. You can
\neven purchase whipped Shea butter, because it will be easier to apply, but it will cost a little
\nmore simply for the convenience. I recommend moisturizing your skin in the shower. As a
\nlicensed esthetician, I know there are a lot of skincare products on the market, but for the body I
\ntend to favor all natural products for the moisturization of the skin. So whether you choose
\ncoconut oil, Shea butter, cocoa butter, etc., just make sure it is pure. Work the product into your
\nskin while in the shower immediately after cleansing and while the skin is still damp. Pay
\nspecial attention to the elbows, knees hands and feet, as these areas are either exposed more,
\nand\/or have the thicker layers of skin for natural protection. Applying your moisturizer this way
\nwill help to increase the moisture of your skin for a longer lasting effect throughout the day. As
\nan added bonus, you can use moisture masks with gloves and socks on your hands and feet
\novernight once a week or once a month for deeper hydration.<\/h5>\n
I hope you found these tips useful, and you are on your way to healthy glowing skin! Keep your
\nlargest organ happy, healthy, and moisturized. You will be so thrilled with your skin as you see
\nthe difference these tips will make. We are obsessed with natural skincare at Carolina Eye
\nCandy in Summerville Columbia and Charleston, and will continue to give you tips to help you
\nkeep your skin moisturized, glowing and healthy.<\/h5>\n
