Changing Weather Skin Care Solutions

                                                                        Hey Earth’s Enrichers 

With winter slowly closing in on us and temperatures rapidly dropping people everywhere are searching for natural remedies to relieve dry skin. Lower temperatures often bringing lower humidity and harsh winds can cause drying in skin.  During cooler months people might be inclined to take long hot showers which can strip your skin of moisture causing additional dryness. Colder temperatures can also cause flare ups in many people with pre-existing skin conditions including eczema and psoriasis. Winter weather also exposes our skin to rapid temperature changes as we go from walking outside in the freezing cold to being exposed to central heating in buildings. This rapid change can cause the veins in the face and body to contract and expand quickly which can lead to redness. Colder weather can easily and rapidly cause damage to the skin but fear not, we at Earth’s Enrichments are here to provide you with solutions.

  • Maintain Moisturization –  Within 5 or 10 minutes of showering or bathing, be sure to incorporate a moisturizing agent into your skin care routine, to replenish the skin after a long day in harsh wintery winds or prepare it for what lies ahead.
  • Keep Cool – Although it’s natural to want to crank up the heat after being in colder temperatures, try to keep the thermostat between 68 and 72 degrees in order to maintain healthy skin and prevent dryness.
  • Say No to Overly Hot Baths and Steamy Showers – Try to shower and bathe in lukewarm water rather than hot water in order to protect and not further dry out your skin
  • Opt for Organic – Regular non-organic products can have fragrances and ingredients that can worsen winter itch and dry skin.  Cut the chemicals and look for organic, USDA certified alternatives like those found below!

The EE 411: Products to help you defend yourself from dryness!

  1. Earth’s Enrichments’ Bar Soaps
Coconut oil along with preventing dry skin has also been heralded to be a remedy for other skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis.  In addition, coconut oil can help prevent rashes and is oftentimes used as an anti-inflammatory. For centuries, Aloe Vera has been used as a natural remedy for dry skin. Both Aloe Vera oil and gel are known for their hydrating properties and, all of Earth’s Enrichments bar soaps are made with a coconut oil and aloe vera base in order to keep our customers’ skin healthy and moisturized.
