Q: I love hot soaks in the tub, but my skin
feels dry and is flaky.
A: When the
temperature drops, nothing thaws you out like a steamy bath. Unfortunately, that
soothing soak can actually strip skin of its protective oils, leaving you dried
out.
To keep dry skin from happening,
follow these tips for a perfect winter tub experience.
-
Watch the Clock: Sadly, spending more than
five minutes in the shower or immersed in water is tough on your skin. Soap
definitely can compound the problem, so if you need to get clean, take a speedy
shower first using a luxurious body soap like
Tokara Sea Mineral Body Soap
to cleanse and moisturize the skin.
-
Leave Off the Foam: Skip the soapy suds from bubble bath;
it strips away your skin's oils. Try Noevir
Herbal Bath Salts
to ease tired, sore muscles and dissolve excess sebum and exfoliate dead skin
cells.
-
Turn Down the Heat: Good as it feels, hot
water is really harsh on your skin, so keep the water just comfortably warm.
-
Slather on Softness: Blot off with a towel
and then apply
Herbal Body Lotion
to still damp skin. Soothes uncomfortable skin with chamomile and minimizes dry
flakes with jojoba oil and sage.
Tip: I also like to have
Tokara Sea Mineral Body Soap
handy at the sinks to wash my hands with.
