Dry Skin Cream That Contains Nature's Best Nutrients






It seems to be next to impossible to find a high quality dry skin cream, although the store shelves are packed full of products whose manufacturers claim to be the best that money can buy. The fact is though, that while the vast majority of people are taking the manufacturers word on how good their products are it may in fact be those very products that are making their skin dry.

The most common dry skin cream that is being produced in massive quantities will contain one or both of the petroleum based moisturizers as the key emollients. These compounds allow the major cosmetics companies to label their products as containing natural ingredients, although these two are not the type of natural ingredients that one would want to use on their skin. Yes, they are naturally occurring, but in the same breath they are also man-made.










These ingredients, which are known as petrolatum and mineral oil, are a petroleum byproduct, but they would not exist if not for the crude oil process. These compounds are derivatives of what became known as Vaseline, which was discovered in the 1800's, and was immediately proclaimed to be a skin care miracle. That is until it was discovered that this "moisturizer" was responsible for causing skin dry rather than treating it.

I'm sorry to say, but you will get the same results from dry skin cream that contain petrolatum, and mineral oil. Petroleum based moisturizers are too dense to be effectively absorbed by the skin. They simply end up sitting on the surface of the skin trapping dirt, clogging your pores, interfering with your natural exfoliation process, and eventually shutting down your skin's oil production.


All of this, with special emphasis on the shutting down of sebum production, leads you to the development of dry skin. If you want to use products containing moisturizing agents that will not make your skin dry then I advise you to stop wasting your time, and your money on the useless products that the major manufacturers continue to offer to you.

What a dry skin cream should contain if you want to be successful in nursing your skin back to good health are plant based ingredients. These should include such compounds as grape seed oil, Maracuja passion fruit extract, and Babassu palm oil. These types of emollients are full of essential nutrients that your skin needs in order to be healthy.

Plant based oils are excellent for moisturizing your skin because they contain certain properties which closely resemble those of our skin's own oil. That is why you need to quickly make the switch from the formulas that you are using that are making your skin dry, and begin experimenting with products that will quickly, and effectively alleviate your problems.

A dry skin cream should help you to solve a problem. It should not aggravate a problem, nor create on where it never existed. The use of products that contain nothing except the ingredients of nature are your best bet for finding an answer for whatever it is that ails your skin.
