Dry skin can be irritating and uncomfortable to live with. Your clothing may itch and cold weather makes it very difficult for your skin to feel comfortable. You have a cupboard full of moisturisers and simply don't understand what more you could be doing to moisturise your skin. At least those lovely, long hot baths help, right?
Dry skin can be held accountable to a lack of sebum – the skin's natural oil – in your skin. In dry skin sufferers, the sebaceous glands (which produce sebum) are underactive and this means that the skin becomes dry and tight. Hot baths may feel relaxing and hydrating for your skin, however the hot water actually draws out these essential oils from your skin. This, in fact, further dries out your skin!
This does not mean, however, that you should give up your bath time. SkinAu's Bath Relaxant Oil is a soothing, hydrating oil which is added to your bath water. Your bath water should be warm, but not hot, so not to draw out oils from your skin and the addition of the Bath Relaxant Oil will allow your bath water to gently nourish and moisturise whilst replenishing those lost oils.
This product is part of one of SkinAu's Body Treatment Packs which are 4-step treatments to allow you to bathe and take care of your dry skin whilst allowing it to repair. The treatment Pack also includes a Massage Refreshing Oil which is a mildly antiseptic oil which cleanses and invigorates dry skin. It's even better if someone else puts it on for you! When combined with SkinAu's Dry Skin Pack, your skin will begin to repair itself and feel much more comfortable.
Remember that your dry skin is very temperamental and extreme temperatures while bathing can have an negative impact on your skin's oil levels. With the correct products, you will be able to enjoy your baths and take care of your skin at the same time.
