Dry Skin Troubles - No More!

With the pleasant fireplace gatherings, snow hikes, ice skating, and spiced lattes - there are also some less pleasant sides of the winter season. The onslaught of dry, itchy skin that is currently settling in for the long haul. Yikes! 

While switching to a good moisturizer will help at the first sign of cold, drier weather and indoor heat may have already taken their toll on your skin. Fortunately, there is still time to seriously delve into a daily routine to ensure a hydrated and radiant complexion. Here's the ultimate guide to preventing, soothing, and treating dry skin, with the help of Arvelon’s Nourishing Range. 

• Prepare Your Home
  The drier the air, the drier the skin. To maximize the amount of water in the air, placing a humidifier in the room where you spend most of your time is recommended. A cool humidifier increases the moisture content of the air keeping the skin barrier hydrated. Also, make sure the heat is kept at a moderate temperature to avoid dry, itchy skin. 
• Change Your Diet
  Since there is a direct link between gut health and skin, increasing your daily fat intake can help with dry skin. A diet rich in healthy fats includes nuts, olive oil, and avocados. While that extra cup of tea and coffee may seem like a good idea during the chilly season, avoid going overboard with caffeine as it contains diuretics that cause excessive dehydration. Staying hydrated and drinking tons of water is key! 
• Buff Your Skin
  No matter how many serums and creams are applied, dry skin remains dry if not exfoliated. Gently exfoliating the skin with a mild, oil-infused face scrub to remove dead skin does wonders to dry skin. The Nourishing Scrub exfoliates, softens, and smoothes the face and lips for comfortable, clean skin. The addition of shea butter and natural walnut shell in this formula helps in intensely nourishing the skin while also sloughing away dead skin cells and impurities. Now that the skin is polished, moisturizers can penetrate and work their magic! 
• Slather on a Moisturizer
  While most summer products are swapped during the winter with other season-specific products, moisturizers are an exception to this rule. Infused with Hyaluronic acid, our Nourishing Moisturizer packs a powerful moisture punch, attracting and increasing moisture levels for up to 24 hours of deep hydration. Regardless of the weather, free radicals attack the skin, causing sunspots, collagen breakdown, and premature fine lines. With the power of Babassu oil, an excellent emollient that is packed with antioxidants, healthy fats, and Vitamin E, the Nourishing Moisturizer helps heal damaged skin and provides a moisture surge to dry skin. 
• Avoid Harsh Cleansers
  Make sure to swap facial cleansers with drying properties aimed at treating oily, summer skin with nourishing formulas with ingredients such as Aloe vera, Mandelic Acid, and glycerin. Nourishing Face Wash is a great option that doesn't strip your skin of its natural oils, is a gentle product with a blend of ultra-hydrating ingredients that reinforce the barrier to help the skin lock in moisture, and attract hydration to the skin’s surface. It plumps up the skin with hydration, adds luminosity, and minimizes fine lines altogether!
