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.

    A new product for me

    I’m happy with this bar so far. I won’t be using it for skin lotion though. My nails are very dry and crack a lot so I’m just rubbing it onto my nails and it feels good and seems to hydrate them.

    Excellent hard lotion

    I really like these lotion bars, especially in the summer when they're softer and glide effortlessly over my skin. They create a nice barrier that retains moisture, even after washing my hands.

    Great product!

    This has become my main moisturizer for face and body. I love that it has all natural ingredients and is healthy for my skin and body. Even my son, who is sensitive to scents and has some sensory sensitivities loves it for his eczema. Very satisfied and have reordered several times! I keep a large tin at home, plus a couple of small ones for my purse and car!

    It doesn’t need to be applied as often as vaseline to keep eczema patches moisturized.

    Before I turn off the light, I open my Lavender Bee Silk Junior and put it on my hands. It feels and SMELLS so good. I love the softness it provides and I think it's perfect!

    This works so great!

    My hands get very very dry, I wash them often but a little bit of this salve goes a long way! It leaves my skin feeling and looking so soft! I love it and will be repurchasing when I run out!

    Incredibly moisturizing ...

    When it comes to skin care, especially if I need it to be moisturizing, I am beyond-picky. Seriously, if it doesn't work, I won't bother to use it - but this Beesilk Jr? Oh my. Not only is it non greasy, but because it works like a dream to moisturize my sensitive, over-reactive skin that - for well over a year now - I love the results so much that I've used it as an all-body lotion after a shower every. single. day.

    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!
