Arguably, the most common skin complaint people have is dry itchy skin. So any half decent dry skin remedies must be able to thoroughly moisturize, nourish and hydrate your skin For young people dry skin is pretty much an annoyance they could do without. However, many older people with dry skin issues tend to suffer from very itchy and inflamed skin as well, which can sometimes become intolerable. Now. . . there are thousands of skin creams out there claiming to be the best dry skin remedies. But, unfortunately many of them don’t make a lot of difference and solve your problem. The best cream for dry skin will be the one that has the highest amount of active natural ingredients. It makes pretty good sense to me; more active substances addressing the dry itch skin problem has to give you a better result. So why does skin dry out? – Environmental issues, loss of skin proteins through aging, moisture loss, harsh chemicals, oxidative stress cause by free radicals and the list goes on. More importantly, what ingredients must the best skin cream contain to give you some relief and get the best ongoing results? Here’s a few emollients, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and natural oils that should be in the next dry skin cream you buy to better moisturize, hydrate and nourish your skin. Crodamol CP – a nourishing emollient and soothing ester. D-Panthenol – a humectant, emollient and moisturizer. Macadamia oil – one of the most effective anti-oxidants, good for dry skin because it penetrates and hydrates skin quickly. Cegesoft PFO – an emollient to help soften your skin. Avocado oil – a deeply hydrating and powerful anti-oxidant. Grapeseed Oil – an astringent that has great skin moisturizing properties. Cynergy TK”(TM)” – a unique substance that can stimulate the re-growth of collagen and elastin skin cells. Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10, CoenzymeQ10 in a special “nano-emulsion” form – a natural nutrient and powerful anti-oxidant. I could add more but you get the general idea. Make sure the next dry skin cream you use, includes the above natural substance and you will be on the right track towards improving and getting some relief for your dry itchy skin.
