In winter, many of us suffer from the famous crocodile skin! With the cold, the epidermis is more sensitized and dries out enormously to the point of itching and peeling. It’s certainly not very visible under our layers of clothing, but it’s not very comfortable and we all know when we make the effort to take care of our skin, it does us well. This is why we offer you this treatment which leaves the skin soft and nourished like never before using effective natural ingredients. This special treatment for very dry skin is the cream of creams (in oil form ;))!
And to wash the skin without drying it out, use a mild goat’s milk soap.
What you need:
- A glass bottle
- 5 tablespoons of avocado oil
- 5 tablespoons of wheat germ oil
- Lemon essential oil
- Cypress essential oil
- Rose geranium essential oil
The steps:
1) Into your bottle, start by pouring the wheat germ and avocado vegetable oils.
2) You can then add the essential oils, respecting the following doses: 20 drops of cypress, 10 drops of lemon and 10 drops of rose geranium.
3) Close your bottle carefully and shake everything very carefully.
4) Apply your homemade treatment after each shower. The ideal would be to take the time to perform a light massage to promote penetration… the preparation will only be more effective!
Why did you choose these ingredients to treat very dry skin?
First of all, avocado oil helps deeply nourish, protect and restructure the epidermis. In addition, it has an anti-aging effect! Then, we have the very antioxidant wheat germ oil (and also anti-aging) which nourishes and treats scaly skin that feels tight like no other. Lemon allows you to tone, strengthen and soften the skin while making it brighter. Then we use rose geranium for its power healing and regenerating on uncomfortable skin. Not to spoil anything, its smell is very pleasant when mixed with the others! And finally, we have the cypress which watches over the leg and circulation health. However, it is not obligatory to use it in treatment. It just makes it more complete.
For ease, complete with the product that moisturizes and nourishes the skin to use in the shower. Perfect when you’re short on time in the morning and still want to have soft skin!
