Keep Dry Skin Moist inspite of Santa Ana Winds

The Santa Ana winds are blowing and whipping up the ash from the recent fires. So our skin is in danger of becoming very dry. There are a couple of ways to counter dry skin. The most obvious is applying a richer moisturizer such as Pelasante Fortified Moisturizer. In the evening, after cleansing and using a gentle scrub, apply your moisturizer. Leaving it on overnight replenishes the days lost moisture.

If the lipids in the skin are lost, then water evaporates quicker and can lead to severe dryness and dry rash-like condition. We carry LRS serum that has worked quickly to repair, soothe and heal irritations. Using it twice a day for 3 consecutive days tends do the trick.

You can use other oils on your skin. But they tend to be sticky and stay oily, plus I haven't found them to be as effective as LRS. Also pure oils don't contain the correct mix of fats, lipids and cholesterols to maintain the skins proper hydration. So they tend to dehydrate the skin even more, depleting the skins nature lipids.

NOTE: Take care with use of Vitamin E oil, it is highly comedogenic and after regular use it can create a mass of comedones/blackheads. So use it Vitamin E oil sparingly and infrequently to prevent breakouts.


An overnight trick to rehydrate your legs: apply your moisturizer, then a layer of Vaseline and then cover with a layer of plastic wrap. Unwrap the next morning, wash off excess with mild cleanser and reapply your body moisturizer.

If the skin is dry and scaly use a glycolic body cream at night, try TuscanySkinSpa Glycolic 15% Body Lotion, then in the morning use a scrub to remove the scaly layer of dead cells. Finish with a body moisturizer such as Age Renewal Body Cream.

Or for aching muscles and dry skin use Body & Muscle Cream $13 (Free Shipping. Formulated with menthol, peppermint, Arnica and Capsicum to soothe sore muscles. Natural cocoa butter and peppermint leave a pleasant scent. Soothe muscle discomfort while nourishing the skin.

A humidifier is also useful. Spending 20 minutes with the humidifier running with distilled water will increase skins surface moisture. This is an excellent trick for those living in dessert regions.

You can decrease skin dryness by increasing your consumption of healthy oils such as flaxseed oil. If you have any health concerns, please check with your doctor or nutritionist
