ECO-FRIENDLY SKIN CARE FOR DRY,SENSITIVE SKIN

The dry weather of late,coupled with wind, can cause your skin to really dry out and become sensitive and dehydrated.Redness and irritation can occur with every line and wrinkle sticking out where it's not wanted.
This calls for extra care, and comfort creams.
Windy weather strips the skin of both oil and water(dehydration),so we need to replace both internally and externally.
Internally drink a lot of water,herb and green teas.Take fish oil or flaxseed oil-you'll notice a big difference to the condition of your skin,especially long term.
Thats the easy part.
Swap to a cream,lotion or oil based cleanser.Almond oil is fantastic and makes an ideal makeup remover as well.
Weleda make beautiful,gentle skincare products that are natural and organic.
A'kin do a lovely cream cleanser as well.
There are so many eco friendly brands now and it is a matter of trying different moisturisers and finding one that works for your particular skin and lifestyle.If skin is dry and sensitive it works well to use a serum or oil UNDERNEATH moisturiser during the day and on cleansed skin at night as a treatment.If skin is really parched use oil and a heavier night cream over the top.
The brand dr.organic bioactive skincare make beautiful moisturisers and body butters that are rich but lightweight as well and absorb beautifully into the skin and contain certified organic ingredients.
The Kora organics tinted day cream is really good - it says on the label to wear it over the top of moisturiser which is a great idea if your skin is dry like mine and iv'e been doing that and it's made a difference.
Hope this info helps,love f
