DOES YOUR SKIN LOOK LIKE THIS?


They're not painful, but those scales can certainly be annoying... the tiny dry skin patches that can leave flakes on your clothes and even worse, attract the "skin peeling" habit to personally remove each fleck.


I'll let you know which product(s) I use when my skin becomes flaky and scaly but first, let's look at some of the causes.


Reasons for Dry, Scaly, Rough Skin

(Taken primarily from Dr. Berg's Blog and YouTube Channel)

  1. Insufficient essential fatty acids: these are needed to keep the skin hydrated. Brittle hair is another symptom.

  2. Your skin's pH balance is high (too alkaline)

  3. Your skin's microbes (germs) that are bad can make your skin environment stressful

  4. Chronic Inflammation: Inflammation is a common underlying factor in many chronic skin conditions. Identifying and addressing the root causes of inflammation, such as food sensitivities, environmental toxins, and stress, can significantly improve skin health.

  5. Hormonal Imbalances: Hormones play a crucial role in skin health. Imbalances in hormones like thyroid, estrogen, and cortisol can disrupt the skin's natural oil production and barrier function.

  6. Dehydration and Environmental Factors: Inadequate water intake and exposure to harsh environmental conditions can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and scaling.


Solutions to Fix It

Fix from the inside  (and out)

  1. Avoid sugar, carbohydrates, seed oils (especially soy)

  2. Include more fat soluble vitamins into your diet

  3. Consume more flaxseed (include oils) and chia seed

  4. Consume more foods rich in Omega-3

  5. Avoid petroleum-based products and lotions

  6. Be aware of skin care product ingredients that can strip the skin of its natural oils

  7. Use a humidifer in dry rooms, and consume plenty of water


SKIN CARE PRACTICES & PRODUCTS FOR DRY, SCALY SKIN

DO THIS: First, be aware of using hot water in the shower, which can strip the skin of its natural oils.  Make sure that your skin care and soap does not contain detergents or ingredients that mess with the skin's pH balance.


USE THIS: I personally rely on Beesilk Jr when my skin is scaly but not rough, or the Beesilk Lotion Bar when it feels rough along with scaly.

    Love this hard lotion bar...

    I love this hard lotion bar. My feet, especially my heels, had been so cracked and dry (even more so in the winter) that I had to do something. Your hard lotion bar is perfect - every time after my shower, I rub it all over my feet, especially my heels, and it has made such a difference! I've been using it for years now, and I just ordered more as my last bar is being used up (it broke in half recently, but it still works beautifully). Thanks for making such a great product.

    Surprisingly AWESOME!

    I tried the lotion bar out of curiosity and am so glad I did. It's fantastic and purse/travel friendly. I will be gifting these this holiday season!!

    great product. Love the small size. fits my hands the best. But they need help with their social media approach. I get daily email spams.

    Your skin will thank you!

    Love my Beesilk lotion bar because it helps my extremely dry skin with only three ingredients. I also ordered the foot balm for my cracked heels. By the next morning I was surprised to find my heels were ready for sandals again and my skin was no longer ashy and dry.

    I like the fact that there is just three ingredients and doesn’t wash off easily. It take a few minutes to be absorbed into the skin but your skin feels great when it does!

    Lavender bliss

    I ordered the Lavender Beesilk Junior and what I received was relaxation in a tin! The bar is softer than their original Beesilk, and it’s perfect for sensitive skin, especially newly healed scars. The scent is delightful, mild and not overpowering.

    The very best

    Love the Junior Lavendar lotion and am never without it. I have a small tin for purse/travel and the large size in my bathroom. I keep it open on my counter so I never fail to swipe it when I walk into another part of the house. Does wonders for my cuticles, hands, elbows &. more. Love that it’s so clean that I never have to worry about bad chemicals. My kids get the small ones in their stockings every year! Smells great and never overwhelms. Get yours now!

    Difficult to apply

    I ordered the Bee Silk Junior because the website says it’s easier to apply on delicate skin. I’m a mature woman who has sensitive not delicate skin. I found the contents of the tin too firm and it made application time-consuming and somewhat difficult. I purchased this item for travel thinking it would be convenient but the consistency of the product makes application tedious.

    So much easier to apply!

    I love your hard lotion bars but as I get older, I'm finding that softer things just go on easier! This winter was especially harsh so very glad for the softer Jr version with all the same lively ingredients - sooo soothing!

    Gentle and very effective for my needs

    I bought this balm to moisturize my eye area. I have very dry eyes, and during winter my eyes tear then it quickly dries. Because tears are salty, it hurts outer edge of my eyes. Since I started applying this balm my eye area doesn't hurt anymore, doesn't get flakey anymore. Very good product.

    Junior

    I didn’t think I could like anything more than your Bee Silk, but I do. Junior gives the same relief but a little easier to apply. I love all your products.
