Dry Skin Care

Dry skin has an inability to retain adequate moisture in its cells. Dry skin is usually characterized by:

- A feeling of tightness or tautness, especially after bathing or swimming;
- Skin appears dull, dehydrated and lacks plumpness;
- Skin feels rough and may itch;
- Flaking or scaling may be present;
- Skin tends to wrinkle easily and fine lines are prevalent;

Dry skin occurs when there is disruption to the intercellular lipid structure (a group of vital substances that bond skin cells together to form a protective barrier) as a result of exposure to the elements, skin irritants, or common physiological changes that arise from aging.

Dry skin is treated by restoring moisture and preventing further moisture loss using gentle, organic skin care products that are rich in natural plant emollients, vitamins and water-binding agents such as glycerin or honey.
