Treating Dry Skin with Essential Oils & Other Products
Essential oils or products containing essential oils can be helpful for treating and controlling dry skin. Certain essential oils have properties known to moisturize skin or help balance your skins natural oil production without robbing it of needed moisture. When combined with an appropriately chosen skin care regimen, essential oils can be an effective way of controlling dry skin.
Dry Skin Care - Body
To help keep the skin on your body moisturized while you bathe, try using our unscented salt scrub blended with any of the following essential oils which help balance or facilitate oil production: peppermint, rose otto, jasmine, clary sage, patchouli, rosewood, neroli, sandalwood, ylang ylang. Our bath melts are also a good choice.
Immediately after you dry off, be sure to apply body lotion to help lock in moisture. Try our unscented hand & body lotion blended with any of the essential oils listed above. In between bathing times, our Skin Repair Body Butter is a customer favourite for dry skin or try our unscented organic body butter (blended with any of the above essential oils) for spot treatments.
Dry Skin Care - Face
An important part of your sensitive skin care regime is using the right
products for your skin type. That being said, the needs for someone with normal dry skin are different from those with extremely dry skin.
Our Thera-Skin Care Line has specially formulated products for both of these types of dry skin. Visit our Skin Care page to see the entire collection of recommended for Dry and Very Dry skin types.
The essential oils listed above can be used in conjunction with your skin care products to help with dry skin. Try adding a few drops to a jar of moisturizing facial cleanser, like our Thera-Skin Ultra Gentle Cleansing Lotion or to a rich moisturizer like our Thera-Skin Bio-Lipid Skin Repair Fluid if you have normal dry skin, or our Thera-Skin Bio-Lipid Skin Repair Cream if you have extremely dry skin. Our Thera-Skin Visibly Moist Facial Toner also adds needed moisture and contains rose essential oil to help dry skin. Check out our Home Blending Guide for useful tips.
