BioskinExfol is a home microdermabrasion cream that gently removes scars, whether raised or flat, stretch marks, wrinkles and smooths out rough, dull skin and skin imperfections. Microdermabrasion works by using micro-crystals to buff away the top layer of dead, dry skin to reveal the fresh, new skin that lies beneath. Bioskinexfol is different than most mircrodermabrasion creams in that it also uses the special serum taken from live snails to go the extra mile in breaking down damaged tissue and triggering your body to start producing healthy collagen and elastin within in your skin to regain its firmness and healthy appearance. BioskinExfol is easy to use and even though results are seen over time, they are dramatic. If you have rosacea, herpes, warts, eczema, lupus or diabetes, BioskinExfol or other mircrodermabrasion treatments are not recommended.

Itches are to be scratched, right? Not if that itch is due to dry skin because you can do more damage to the skin than you think to relieve that itch. Healthy skin is enveloped with a thin layer of natural lipids. These substances help keep skin supple and young-looking. Dry skin is the consequence of fatty oils being stripped away from the skin leaving it unprotected. Oftentimes, the causes of dry skin may be external or even genetic; however, most of the time itchy skin is due to controllable factors that can be treated by using the right moisturizing cream.

Most common causes of dry skin are:

*Dry Winter Air: This is one of the biggest causes of dry skin during the winter months.

*Long, Hot Showers and Baths: Don’t overdo it! Exposing your skin to water for prolonged periods of time can wash away the natural oils that protect your skin.

*Detergents: Soaps and detergents can quickly strip away your skin’s protective oils. This is why it is crucial that any skin care cream be detergent-free.

*Medication and Drugs: There are certain medicines that are known to dry out the skin. If after having started a certain medication your skin begins to show signs of a dry skin problem, talk to your doctor.

*Medical Conditions: Dry skin isn’t just caused by external factors. As a matter of fact, some medical conditions are known to show signs of dry skin such as: eczema, diabetes, hypothyroidism or even an imbalanced diet.

These factors can all be easily taken care of, but if for some reason you don’t want to give up long hot showers or you have no other choice than to keep taking a certain type of medication, then you need an effective moisturizer.

The Right way to Moisturize

Being able to find dry skin relief depends greatly on finding the right moisturizing cream, but it may seem a bit overwhelming if you consider that the skin care market is constantly offering newer and more promising solutions. However, you can cut down your options if you know what to look for.

Effective moisturizing creams should contain:

*Natural ingredients which will not cause side-effects

*Ingredients capable of promoting the proliferation of glycosaminoglycans which are the molecules that hold in water. This will help your skin retain moisture.

Locating a product capable of giving you dry skin relief will depend mainly on finding the right moisturizing cream. It may sound easy but consider how often a new product is brought out into the market. If you don’t know what to look for, finding the right product can seem like a perilous feat.

Natural skin care creams are great at restoring skin’s moisture and firmness and best of all can keep skin hydrated. Moisturizers that use the serum secreted by snails of the species Helix Aspersa Müller that include proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans as well as enzymes and other components trigger the increase of water holding substances, new skin cells, collagen and elastin connective tissues. In other words, they can heal dry itchy skin, restore healthy levels of moisture, prevent dryness and leave your skin feeling soft and refreshed.

Many believe that dry skin is the reason they’ll received stretch marks, and they use lotions and creams to moisturize, thus protecting them from getting stretch marks, but that simply is not true. The stretch marks form deep within the skin where dryness isn’t a factor. It’s the strain on the tissues that tears the them, causing an immune system reaction. Visible stretch marks are actually scars to the skin’s tissue. To successfully prevent stretch marks, you need to use a stretch marks cream that treats the root cause which is the inflammatory response that further damages collagen and elastin fibers before mending it with scar tissue.

During times of hormone changes such as puberty, pregnancy or that time of the month, the sebum glands tend to over produce oils for the skin and many times this can lead to acne. In order to prevent acne, you wash your face or worse scrub your face to lessen your chances of developing pimples, but this can cause dry, flaky skin. Your skin needs that protective layer of oil to lubricate your skin and keep it in good shape. So what can you do? The key to healthy skin is balance. Don’t wash your face more than twice a day, use a gentle, oil-free cleanser and don’t scrub! If dryness still occurs, use a light oil-free moisturizer to hydrate your skin. If your skin is still too oily, try using natural acne treatments that gently reduce the production of the sebum glands.
