Just because we're still bundled under layers of sweaters, hiding our skin doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take care of it. It's true, the cold air we've endured and are still getting hit with this spring has wreaked havoc on our skin. Frankly, it has left our skin dry, dull and in some cases sensitive. It's no secret that this dry skin leads to flaky and itchy skin. And wearing those thick wool sweaters isn't helping one bit!
So, before we can even start frolicking in our bikinis under the summer sun and focus on every bump and flaw on our skin. NaturalOganicBody's experts have put together the tips for you to get the softest skin – ever!! So, when you do have to show your skin you’ll be silky soft to the touch. Daily lotions are great, but may not give you the luxurious butter feeling you crave. And body butters won’t do much if you haven’t exfoliated dead cells away.
Follow these tips for the softest skin, ever:
1. First things first: avoid ingrown hairs and red bumps by changing your razor frequently. A month-old razor will harbor bacteria and be more dull than a new one, causing irritation when you shave. You should change your razor after every few uses. Also think about dipping your blade into some alcohol if you feel you are going through too many razor blades in a month. This helps clean out the bacteria and dead skin left behind, that may be causing your irritation.
2. Get rid of dead skin cells by exfoliating. Use an exfoliating scrub like Lavera Organic Body Scrub Organic Orange and Sea Buckthorn, which deep cleans, prevents ingrown hairs, and tones for smooth skin.
3. Be aware, Exfoliating too much can lead to irritated skin so switch out with a moisturizing body wash like 100% Pure Hydrating Body Wash French Lavender, which cleanses, brightens and hydrates.
4. Lock in moisture with a body butter. As soon as you step out of the shower, massage an indulgent body butter like 100% Pure Whipped Body Butter Coconut all over your skin. Cocoa butter is rich in fatty acids and antioxidants so it’ll keep your skin feeling super soft all day and all night.
5. If you still have dry areas like your hands or feet, apply a moisturizer and vaseline then cover with socks or gloves before going to bed. Rinse off in the morning and you should notice softer skin.
