The Best Moisturizers to Transform Your Dry Skin Now

Top 5 MoisturizersThe season for dry, flaky skin is here! Summer sun, heat, wind and air-conditioning can cause typically normal skin to act dry and dry skin to thirst for moisture, sometimes becoming overly sensitive or suffering from bouts of eczema.

Before you reach for your favorite face cream or bottle of lotion, consider this little known fact: certain ingredients in moisturizers could make your skin even drier, while some skin creams can actually increase signs of aging! Emulsifiers, the binding agents that allow oil and water to mix in creams and lotions, leave a residue on the skin that interferes with skin’s lipid barrier and disturbs its natural ability to hold in moisture. You get a quick fix of moisture that soon evaporates, causing skin to flake, chap and feel tight. So you apply more moisturizer, but your skin never gets the hydration it needs and continues to look and feel dry. It becomes a vicious cycle -- and a costly one. Mega dollars are spent annually on moisturizers, often with no satisfying results.

So what should you use if your skin is thirsty for moisture?

Before spending a small fortune on a pricey moisturizer, first be aware of how your personal habits are impacting on your skin. The detrimental effects of modern living, including eating processed foods, drinking alcohol and leading a stressful, sedentary lifestyle, all take their toll on the body -- and on your skin. If you suffer with dry skin, step up your intake of water, get sufficient sleep and regular exercise. While a balanced diet including fresh fruits and vegetables is key to healthy skin, dry skin directly benefits from zinc derived from carrots, garlic and ginger and from the essential fatty acids found in fish, nuts and seeds.

Once you’ve given your skin the nutrients it needs on the inside, it’s time to choose a reliable moisturizer with the best ingredients daily moisturizer to transform irritated dry skin into smooth, supple, healthy-looking skin. Cosmetic counters and drugstore shelves offer plenty of options, yet there’s no better place to look than nature. Natural oils are the best hydrators and provide more effective relief for dry skin than many expensive moisturizers on the market. Be sure your daily moisturizer contains at least one of these top five moisturizing ingredients:

Shea Butter

Shea ButterExtracted from the nut of the African shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa), this ivory-colored fat -- also known as a triglyceride -- is not only commonly used in skincare, but is also edible. In Africa, shea butter is used in food preparation and universally in chocolate as a substitute for cocoa butter.

Moisturizers enriched with shea butter naturally soothe and deeply condition skin, relieving dryness and replenishing moisture. It absorbs quickly and leaves skin visibly smoother, softer and enhanced with a luminous sheen.

Grape Seed Oil

“I bought the cream on Wednesday and not quite a week later, my dry skin on my fee and front of my legs has improved dramatically. This is after using creams that have been dispersed by my doctor for about one year. I just cannot believe the improvement in my skin.”

“We have two sons with definite skin problems. Our eldest has eczema, most seriously on his hands. They were constantly cracked, open and bleeding, not to mention the pain. After eight months of using your skin cream, his hands are completely healed. Continued use is key to keeping them from further irritation. Thanks.”

“In February I attended the Flower and Garden Show in Seattle, Washington. It was a great event and I bought several things. The thing I loved the most among my purchases was hand cream. That’s right! ...My friend and I purchased Aloe Infusion and it is without a doubt the best hand cream I have ever used. I game one of my travel size jars to my daughter-in-law and she loves it as well. “

“I have had really dry skin my whole life but now I use this every day and have noticed a big improvement in my skin. I even had damaged skin on the back of my neck from bad sun burning years ago and that has now healed! I’ve tried and used it all and nothing helped and I have sensitive skin which reacted to everything I used also. This is the first thing I’ve stuck with and I’m thrilled! I saw my dermatologist just the other day and she even commented on how much better my skin looked. I’m so glad the representative got me to try it as I was very skeptical. Thank you."
