Skin creams can dry out skin
New research by University of Sweden shows that skin creams can actually harm the skin in that they can dry it out and weaken the skin’s existing barrier. It was shown that both the use of vegetable and mineral oil results in skin’s lessened ability to cope with the outside stress.

The topic of using oils came up recently when Susan posed a question (see the topic of post summer skin care here) about the difference between oils in skin care. I recommended the use of natural oils such as coconut oil that are much more gentle on skin and allow it to absorb it fully unlike mineral oils that leave the greasy residue and don’t do much to lubricate the skin. Adding beeswax to natural moisturizer recipes is highly recommended for any skin type but especially dry skin type where it can make a huge difference in how much of the moisture the skin takes in and retains.
Since winter is ahead of us and the dry skin type suffers the most throughout it, here are some great dry skin recipes that can help your skin.

Milk beauty recipes
Skin care really doesn’t have to be expensive, it is just a fridge away. The best example of this are milk beauty recipes. Why milk? Milk is full of ingredients that are beneficial to the skin. After intense physical exercise, for example, our muscles create lactic acid which dissolves the bond that holds dead cells of the skin, penetrate the skin’s deepest layers and thus help its nutrition. Lactic acid is a kind of Alpha Hydroxy Acids - (AHA). Well known brands like Clarins, Clinique, Dior use this process when creating products based on milk.
