Dry skin? Treat yourself this Summer with the Deluxe Duo-package!

Summer is finally here, the past few days we’ve been enjoying the sun shining down on us! And we’ll get to enjoy it for a little while longer at the least, as the weather forecast for the coming days is looking amazing! How lovely is that, starting the Summer with actual sunshine, I don’t have to tell you the sun has it’s pros and cons of course. Those of us who have dry skin do suffer a bit during the hot temperatures and need to spend some extra attention of the proper care. So we at SELF decided to celebrate the start of Summer with a Deluxe Duo-package containing our facial and bodyscrub. These scrubs are mild and appropriate for delicate or dry skins. But how does your skin get so dried out, and why is scrubbing the best way to go? Well I’ll explain all about it in todays blog!

What causes dry skin?

Are you suffering from a chapped skin and does it show flakes or lines? Well then you probably have a dry skin, no fun at all. A dry skin can be caused by several factors, so it’s important to understand how our skin works.

The skin is a barrier between the body, which consists of nearly 60% water, and the outside environment. Our skin makes sure our loss of moisture is kept to a minimum, but a dry skin disrupts this proces. A dry skin usually doesn’t contain enough essential fats, which causes a huge amount of moisture loss and can lead to a dry and flaky skin. A dry skin can be genetically detirmened, but besides that there are several other causes that can lead to a loss in moisture. And just for you, we’ll line them all up right here!

1. Food low in nutritional value can be at the base of a dry skin. Healthy and varied eating habits are incredibly important to the health of your skin. It’s also important to drink enough fluids. Don’t forget, our body consists of nearly 60% water!

2. A dry skin can be a consequence of certain agressive bathing or make-up products or showering too often. Our skin contains natural fats that keep our skin healthy. Showering too often can cause a disrupture in our skins balance. But there’s also such a thing as agressive bathing products that can harm the skins natural acidity levels! So after you’ve taken a bath or shower, don’t forget to hydrate!

3. Age can certainly be a determining cause in your skins health. As we get older, we get a shortage in lipids. Many women who are in the menopausal transtion have a notably dryer skin. This can lead to a stretchy or drawed out feeling and skin irritations.

4. There are unnumerable other factors that can lead to a dried out skin such as stress, weather and dry atmosphere. And the increased temperatures that Summer brings with it call for adjusted skin care, which is very important!

Duo-package to get you through the Summer

During those precious Summer months our skin is exposed to a lot of sunlight. And even though we need the sun, which is beneficial to our health, there can be some negative effects of overexposure to the sun. Warm weather can cause our skin to dry out, which is very annoying if you’ve already got a dry skin! So this calls for an adjusted skin care, and you’d be better off avoiding the more agressive forms of bathing products and going with the milder ones that hydrate the skin. With our Duo-package you will spoil your skin during the Summer months. Your skin will thank you!

Our Duo-package contains a Fine Deluxe Bodyscrub and Boost of Oxygen Facial Scrub. These scrubs may be delicate but are very effective with dry skin. The products are mild and have a soft impact on your skin. Our bodyscrub contains salt minerals from the Dead Sea and our facial scrub contains grains of rice. Both scrubs are also based on natural argan oils, macadamia and shea butter that can treat and restore your skin.

Why scrubbing is good for you

Your skin can benefit from some help now and again. But we just assume a scrub isn’t the best way to go to treat a dry skin, because it could damage the skin barrier. This could be because there are too many agressive scrubs on the market. SELF is looking to change things with our mild and soft formula, that can give you the proper care for a dried out skin.

Scrubbing takes care of dead skin cells and other impurities. Your skin will be able to breath better and your tallow glands will be less clogged up.  A scrub increases blood circulation by stimulating blood flow and stimulating the production of new cells. Scrubbing is extra important in Summer! During the Summer months a lot of people head out to the beach or go sit by the swimming pool. Our skin has to endure a lot on these outings due to the amounts of salt or chlorine we’re exposed to. This is exactly why a scrub is the most effective care after a day of enjoying the sun, sea or sand! It’ll feed and restore your skin and allows you to get the most of the Summer.

How to use it

Our facial and bodyscrub is best used on a hydrated skin, and rubbed in using a circular motion. Scrub away! Rinse with lukewarm water. Our scrubs are most effective when used one to two times a week.

Extra tip: our bodyscrub can also be enjoyed while having a bath! Add up to two spoonfulls in warm water. The combination of salts and oils is heaven for your skin and will give you that silky soft feeling. Take a moment for yourself and enjoy! You can add our scrub to a baby bath aswell, as all of our products are babyproof! Besides that, you definitely want to show off those legs in Summer. Scrub your legs before shaving to get rid of ingrown hairs and for silky soft legs!
