It is high time that you started taking care of your dry skin with a skin care lotion. Though there are many such lotions available in the market, you should be selective and check out their ingredients before purchasing them. A cream that contains natural ingredients is the one that is best suited for your skin. You should also look out for the SPF (sun protection factor) of the cream… the higher the SPF the better the chance that cream has got to protect your skin against the harmful and dangerous ultraviolet rays of the sun.
It is surprising to note that even educated people do not know about the ill effects caused by the harsh rays of the sun on their skin. If you are also using a skin moisturizer you should use it properly so as to gain maximum advantage. Do not wipe clean your body after taking a bath. Just pat yourself dry and then apply the moisturizer when the skin is still damp. This way, the humidity trapped by the moisturizer will take care of your skin for a longer period of time. Using a skin lotion is fine but then again, all the good effects done by the cream will be negated if you do not eat proper food.
You should remember that the interior of your body should also be taken care of in order to ensure that the exterior remains fine and healthy. Avoid foodstuffs that contain too much of oil and also products like white bread. You should also avoid carbonated and soft drinks since these drinks contain a high percentage of sugar which is not good for your skin. You should also wear clothes stitched from cotton fabrics and not those that are made from synthetic fabrics since the latter might cause allergic reactions on your skin, especially if your skin is sensitive.
As well as protecting your skin from the harsh rays of the sun during the summer, you should also protect it from the bitter chill during the winter. Do not expect the skin care lotion to do all these things. While the skin care lotion will play its part in improving the quality and appearance of your skin, you should assist it by taking necessary steps to enhance its performance. The most important thing that you should do prior to purchasing a skin care lotion is to check out its list of ingredients.
Do not be surprised if the skin care lotion does not work as promised, especially if they contain ingredients that basically do the task of just concealing the spots on your skin for a short period of time. Creams that are made using synthetic chemicals act like a temporary filler and are of no use for long term usage. A number of companies use harmful products like alcohol, fragrances, parabens, dioxane, and mineral oil. While these products might make the cream look and smell expensive, far cheaper products that are made out of natural ingredients, and which might not smell so pleasant, have a far better result on your skin.
