By Kim Mujahid

Try this simple dry skin care regimen for 30 days and you will be amazed at how wonderful your skin will look and feel! This natural beauty treatment, using nutrient rich shea butter moisturizers and cleansers, will allow you to enjoy the radiant glow of healthy skin, and banish dry skin for good.

This dry skin therapy program restores natural moisture balance and radiance, for the soft, beautiful skin you have always wanted.

To get started:

- Drink water, water and more water.

Water hydrates all skin cells and is essential for moisturizing and balancing skin. Drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water per day. An abundance of pure water is best. Your body has to work to obtain water from all other beverages, including juice and tea.

- Use shea butter moisturizers.

Effective moisturizing is essential for balancing and protecting dry skin. Shea Butter is one of natures most complete, nutrient rich moisturizers for dry skin. The antioxidant properties of shea butter help to rejuvenate and restore youthful softness and suppleness to dehydrated dry skin. With consistent daily use, shea butter keeps skin looking smooth and soft. For best results, apply shea butter moisturizer while skin is still damp after bath or shower, to seal in water hydration.

- Cut back on long hot baths and showers.

Hot baths and showers feel marvelous, but you are removing natural oils from your skin. Warm water is best, and try not to bathe/shower for more than 5 minutes.

- Gently pat "blot" you skin dry with a towel after bathing or showering.

Brisk rubbing with your towel removes natural oils from your skin. Blot skin dry to allow towel to absorb excess moisture.

- Exfoliate once or twice each week.

Dry skin will look radiant after a scrub with a mesh sponge, loofah, ayate cloth or other exfoliating tool. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells to reveal fresh new skin. And, moisturizers sink in and are absorbed much more effectively after exfoliation. Exfoliation also aids circulation, which brings essential nourishment to skin cells.

- Use shea butter soaps and liquid bath/shower cleansers.

Soaps that contain shea butter provide gentle cleansing without drying or irritating your skin. For Shea Butter Soaps: Click Here

- Don't scratch itchy skin.

Try misting skin with floral water (hydrosol) such as rose, lavender or orange blossom. Immediately apply a shea butter moisturizer to the misted area and massage into skin. You will be amazed at how fast the itching stops!

- Increase the humidity in your home, especially during winter months.

Use a humidifier, or bowls filled with water, during winter months especially in your bedroom. When using bowls of water, be sure to add more water to the bowls as it evaporates, and clean and refill bowls with fresh water daily to prevent mold and bacteria growth.

This natural beauty regimen works to repair skin and maintain moisture balance. Try it for 30 days to establish habits that build the foundation for healthy skin.
