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.

    It's the Best2e

    I ordered 3 bars 2 as gifts and one for myself. It's wonderful great feeling on hands and feet after just a couple of days. I'll be a repeat customer for sure

    Love this stuff!

    I decided to give this a try even though I have half a dozen different creams/lotions that claim to deliver the solution for my hands and feet. Finally! Simple ingredients and lasting softening. Gotta order more.

    Travel Friendly

    I bought this product specifically for travel and have used it on both my body and hands. It's a bit trickier to apply to legs and arms than to hands, but it moisturizes well.

    I’ve tried zillions of moisturizers for my chronically dry hands, and BeeSilk is far and away the very best.

    Healing for Eczema

    My 17-year-old son has been using this for less than 2 weeks on a patch of eczema on his wrist. It has all but disappeared and the discomfort is gone. Thank you!

    Everyone Needs This!

    After trying (and loving!) Second Life Hair Butter to moisturize my hands (in addition to my hair), I figured Beesilk Jr. would be a close replication. While it is a slightly harder formulation than Second Life, Beesilk Jr. is a wonderfully soothing moisturizer for my hands, feet, elbows, etc. I have also found it to be great to use to support healing on many types of skin "boo boos" such as minor scrapes, cuts, and bruises.

    During a recent MadeOn sale I stocked up on the full-sized Beesilk Jr. for myself and as future gifts for my sister and friends. I love it!!!

    This product has helped my husband and his siblings and nephew with dry, flaky patches under their eyes. Three simple ingredients, but so soothing and effective. Highly recommended!

    BIG help!

    I've found that my husband and some others in his family have flaky skin under their eyes. I had my husband try a very gentle moisturizer and it burned and irritated his skin. Bee Silk is the answer we've been looking for and I've bought several sizes and forms and given them to family. So simple, just 3 ingredients, but are so helpful, soothing, and effective. Thanks!

    I initially bought this product for some dryness I was having behind my ear, but was also able to use it after getting a spot cauterized. Very soothing.

    A must have!!

    Beesilk Jr has a creamy texture that absorbs easily. The lavender scent is perfect, delicate and not overpowering. I use on my two- year regularly for soft skin. I love that the ingredients are safe for him. Plus it helps my dry, cracked skin. A great staple to have on hand; plus customer service is top notch!! So thankful for MadeOn.
