How to Care for Dry and Itchy Skin Naturally

Do you suffer from dry, itchy, or irritated skin? You are certainly not alone. Especially during the winter months, our skin endures a lot and can quickly feel tight or become extremely dry. Fortunately, there are several ways to give your skin the care it needs. In this article, you will learn what to do about dry skin and how Tallow Cosmetics can help restore your skin’s natural balance.

What Does Good Skincare Consist Of

Dry or itchy skin can have many causes. For some people, makeup can make their skin drier, while for others dehydration plays a major role. A good skincare routine is different for everyone, but there are several steps that help prevent and treat dryness no matter the cause.

Prevent Dry Skin

When you do not drink enough water, your body becomes dehydrated. A lack of fluids can make you tired, reduce your energy, and even cause headaches. Your facial skin is also affected, becoming visibly drier because it lacks moisture. The best solution is simple: drink enough water, around two and a half liters per day.

However, applying water directly to your skin is not the answer. In fact, long and hot showers can dry out sensitive skin even more. Hot water damages the natural oils on your skin, creating a dry atmosphere that accelerates dehydration. Although a hot shower may be tempting on cold winter days, shorter and cooler showers are much better for your skin and your energy bill.

Apply a Nourishing Cream

Besides staying hydrated, it is important to use the right products for very dry skin. Dermatologists recommend creams rich in healthy fats that help the skin retain moisture. Apply a nourishing cream to dry areas of your face twice a day.

Tallow Cosmetics offers rich creams such as the All Purpose Skin Cream Sea Kelp & Vitamin E and the All Purpose Skin Cream Original. Tallow is one of the most effective ingredients for extremely dry skin because its fatty acid profile closely matches that of human skin. It creates a natural protective barrier and is one of the best natural moisturizers available without irritants. Perfect for dry and sensitive facial skin.

Use Tallow for Dry Skin

If your cheeks feel rough or your forehead is dry, make sure to drink plenty of water and apply a cream or balm formulated with tallow twice a day. Some people worry that a rich cream will make their skin oily, but that is not the case with tallow. This ingredient helps balance and restore your skin’s natural oil profile.

Tallow contains lipids that regulate the movement of moisture in and out of skin cells. These lipids maintain the skin’s moisture content, prevent dehydration, and keep the skin supple and resilient.

SOS Repair Balm for Extremely Damaged Skin

Some people have naturally sensitive skin or conditions such as eczema or flakiness. For these situations, Tallow Cosmetics offers the SOS Repair Balm, a true rescue treatment for damaged and irritated skin.

This concentrated balm contains high-quality tallow rich in vitamins A, B12, D, E, and K. It nourishes deeply, repairs the skin barrier, and soothes irritation. In addition to its healing properties, the balm also cools the skin, reducing redness and itching. This way, your skin gets exactly the care it needs to recover and feel comfortable again.
