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)
-
Insufficient essential fatty acids: these are needed to keep the skin hydrated. Brittle hair is another symptom.
-
Your skin's pH balance is high (too alkaline)
-
Your skin's microbes (germs) that are bad can make your skin environment stressful
-
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.
-
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.
-
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)
-
Avoid sugar, carbohydrates, seed oils (especially soy)
-
Include more fat soluble vitamins into your diet
-
Consume more flaxseed (include oils) and chia seed
-
Consume more foods rich in Omega-3
-
Avoid petroleum-based products and lotions
-
Be aware of skin care product ingredients that can strip the skin of its natural oils
-
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.
Products I recommend
I’ve tried zillions of moisturizers for my chronically dry hands, and BeeSilk is far and away the very best.
This stuff is great!
My hands have never felt softer! I absolutely love this brand and will shop again! A+
I love this product so much!
It works better and longer than lotions I've used and I can easily take it with me everywhere I go. I love that it's good for my skin, has no added stuff and zero plastic!!
Love love love this product!
After searching for many years and different lotions I can say this is the absolute best!
My skin feels great for several days after application which is unusual as most lotions are absorbed by my skin within hours.
The BeeSilk Lotion bar has been one of the best products I have purchased in a long time. We have hard water and as a result it takes a toll on my skin. This is the first lotion I have used that has taken care of very dry skin and actually has stopped the deep peeling from such dry skin. I highly recommend this product.
Love the natural ingredients, but it really is challenging to use due to how it pulls my skin as I rub it on.
There may have been an issue with one batch having too much beeswax. We're shipping you a new bar to compare.
I am very disappointed. I liked the small size, and that's why I ordered a regular size, however, this large one is very dry and hard to apply to my hands. While the small one is smooth and easy to apply, the regular size, no matter how long and hard I rub my hands on the lotion, never gets on to my skin. I don't know if this item is defective or not, but I'm getting tired of using it.
I'm going to look into this for you. We'll ship you a new bar.
I live in a dry climate and have used the lotion bar with great success for years. When I use consistently before bed, my hands are always smooth by morning. It also helps small cuts to heal faster. Great for traveling without worrying about carrying liquid lotion. I recently had a minor issue with one order and Renee was very quick to help me out. Very thankful for this product and company!
Makes my hands sooo soft.
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.
At first I thought the lavender was a tad strong, but it's become what I apply before I head out to the garden....and the bugs leave me alone! It's easier to apply than the hard lotion but it still really seals in the moisture. Great stuff!
I don’t usually write reviews but I love this hard lotion. I had a double mastectomy last October and the skin adjacent to my scars stays dry and itchy. This product is moisturizing and has helped quite a bit.
Thanks for your product
Love the subtle scent and ease of application.
Wasn’t sure if I’d like this as much as the lotion bar; but I do! I typically use it on my feet and cuticles as it’s a little easier to apply.
I absolutely love love Bee Silk Junior. My skin is so dry and Bee Silk Junior soothes the itch and makes my skin soft. I use it every day—I really like the feel of Bee Silk—it’s like a body butter. It ‘s a wonderful product because it’s all natural.
Easy to use, I should of purchased two! My skin is responding nicely & the rash at my ankle is mostly gone. Love it!
I love this product! It makes my
skin so soft and I even use it on my face as a moisturizer.
