Body Smooth

Dry winter skin can be especially harsh on the body. The normal shower product that keep your skin feeling great throughout the rest of the year aren't often enough to fight dryness in the winter. Supplement your body care regimen with a few specialty moisturizers to keep your skin feeling sensational all year.

Lipikar Balm from La Roche-Posay helps to restore the skin's hdyrolipoic barrier, which keeps moisture in and irritants out, providing crucial relief against all types of dry skin.

Body Smoothing Lotion from Cellex-C provides non-greasy moisture in a lightweight lotion, plus 15% L-ascorbic acid, which boosts collagen production to help firm and tone the skin.

Clear Skin

Winter time can be hard on all skin types, but especially on acne-prone skin. The cold and wind of winter can dry out the skin, making it difficult to find the proper balance to treat acne. Some dry skin moisturizers can exacerbate acne, while some acne treatments can dry out the skin.


Kinerase Clear Skin Moisture Light addresses this common issue by supplying acne-fighting ingredients, including salicylic acid, vitamin A and anti-aging kinetin, in a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer. The skin is left feeling soft and pure with fewer breakouts.

Clear Skin Blemish Dissolver from Kinerase similarly helps target acne in a concentrated spot treatment. This helps to dissolve the acne-causing bacteria without disrupting the surrounding skin.

The Perfect Cleanser

Cleansing is arguably the most important step in your daily skin care regimen. A good cleanser not only removes the daily grime from your skin, it provides the perfect basis for further treatment steps. If you're still cleaning your face with a bar of soap, it's time to update. Here's a few suggestions.

Amino Genesis Really, Really Clean Cleanser features a blend of 17 amino acids to hydrate, nourish and defend your skin in one refreshing step. This moisturizing cleanser helps to rebuild collagen and elastin for a more youthful appearance.

Formulated with aloe and algae, Astara Botanical Cleansing Gele is a gel-based cleanser designed for all skin types. Its natural softening properties helps to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and also makes it excellent for shaving.

For oily and acne-prone skin, try Avene Diacneal Gel Cleanser. This fragrance-free cleanser uses lactic acid, an AHA derived from milk, to gently remove pore-clogging debris and bacteria without exacerbating flare-ups.

For those with sensitive skin, try Bioelements Sensitive Skin Cleanser or Caudalie Gentle Cleanser. Each is formulated with natural ingredients that nourish the skin, and don't have any alcohol content, which can dry and irritate the skin.

Relief for Dry Body

Dry skin on the body not only looks bad, but causes irritation and discomfort as well. Dry skin leads to skin disorders such as eczema, which can be difficult to deal with. Dry skin can be caused by the environment, hot water, climate changes and changes in diet.

Proper hydration and moisture are essential. Consider the HydraContinue Moisturizing Body Milk by Phytomer. Its lightweight formula is great for everyday use, yet still provides vital moisture to the skin cells. For highly reactive and sensitive skin try the Phytomer Accept Neutralizing Body Lotion.

Newborns and young ones also experience severely dry skin. Heal chapped and parched skin with Mustela Stelatopia Moisturizing Cream. This is ideal for eczema-prone skin, yet gentle enough for babies.

How about something organic for that dry body? I recommend Eminence Naseberry Body Lotion to smooth and restore skin. Organically grown ingredients and powerful antioxidants fight free radical damage.

Nouriva Repair Moisturizing Cream is perfect for extremely dry skin and also for mature skin types as it is very healing as well.

Emu Oil

Emu oil is a substance that has been used for thousands of years, first used by the Australian aborigines. Then and now, emu oil is used to treat such concerns as burns, cuts, wounds, and bruises, and as a pain reliever for the muscles.

Emu oil consists of about 70% unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid, which moisturize and soften the skin, making it widely used in cosmetic products. One of the great benefits of emu oil is to aid in reducing scar formation because it helps to calm inflammation and is easily absorbed into the skin.

Dremu Oil Serum is formulated with 100% emu oil to treat dry, problematic skin. This product calms facial redness and flushing, smooths wrinkles and fine lines, reduces blemishes and stimulates collagen production.

Dremu’s Airbrush is a highly beneficial eye cream loaded with antioxidants and emu oil to repair wrinkles, reduce puffiness and dark circles in the eye area.

The Dremu products can treat many different skin concerns such as eczema, rosacea, extremely dry/dehydrated skin, wrinkles and acne. Using just one of these products can simplify your skin care regimen tremendously.
