Thirsty Skin.


Have you ever wondered why our skin loses moisture all the time? Well, I've done a little bit of research and it seems that there are various answers to it. If you come from a family line where parched skin had been passed on from generations, then it's because your skin may not retain water very well or your sweat glands may not give out as much moisture as others. Unfortunately this same process applies to the general aging of a female, much to all our dismay.

Of course, the other general reasons where your skin is drier than you would have liked are:

  1. Being outdoors and exposed to too much sun.
  2. Being in close contact with harsh soaps, cleansers or body wash that is insensitive to your skin.
  3. Most girls don't know it, but being on certain diets mean a lack of nutrition and spell disaster to your skin
Here are some ways for you to be certain if your skin needs some careful attention:
  1. Your skin lacks suppleness, smoothness or softness.
  2. Your skin feels tight, fragile and supersensitive.
  3. You feel cracks, peels, flakes on areas of your skin.
  4. You start to see the fine lines and wrinkles.
Of course we woman would not roll over and let there problems get the better out of us. There are natural ways of course to counter this predicament. The simplest method is to drink loads and loads of water, as it helps to retain the moisture within your skin.

Now if you have reached a level that requires general attention; skin creams fills with Vitamin E, natural remedies like Evening Primrose or Omega 3 oils derived from fish are all know to have a good effect in overcoming dry skin problems. These nutritional supplements increase the skin's elasticity, its rebuilding capacity and its moisture. Healthy skin not only gives you a radiant look but it also make it easier or you to apply makeup.

Here is a simple home remedy where you can make in your own kitchen:
Mash the pulp of ripe avocado and apply it all over your face and throat. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes then rinse with lukewarm water. Avocado is full of proteins and natural amino acids.
