The discomfort caused by itching on dry skin is an experience many of us have faced at some point in our lives, especially when winter arrives. Cold weather, humidity, or dry skin can affect our well-being. But, how can we reduce skin itching? Is there an effective routine to achieve this? Today, we give you the keys.
Causes and consequences of itching on dry skin
Itching on the skin is not only uncomfortable for those who suffer from it, but it can also significantly affect our quality of life. Generally, this itching is due to dry skin, but why does this situation occur?
Low temperatures, prolonged sun exposure, the constant use of cosmetic products made with toxins such as parabens or silicones, or simply genetics are some of the reasons why we may have dry skin.
How natural and organic cosmetics can help you combat itching on dry skin
Have you tried ultra-moisturizing creams and still feel itchy skin? At Maminat, we always say it's better to opt for products that offer less hydration but are gentle on your skin. A product can be very moisturizing and be made with toxins that increase dryness and only give you the sensation of hydration when you apply it.
Maminat's body products stand out in this aspect by offering a range of products made with natural and organic ingredients. The choice of organic products not only benefits our skin but also contributes to sustainability and environmental preservation.
Routine to hydrate dry skin and combat itching
To combat itchy skin, an extensive routine is not necessary. With just a few products, you can achieve great results, or at least that's what we advocate at Maminat.
Daily sun protection
No good routine begins without applying good sunscreen. Even on cloudy days, sun protection is essential. Use a natural sunscreen from Maminat to protect your skin from UV ray damage, which can worsen dryness and itching, so you know! Add it to your daily facial routine.
For the face, exfoliation and hydration!
The accumulation of dead cells can aggravate dry and itchy skin, which is why we recommend keeping your skin exfoliated. To exfoliate your skin, you don't need to buy very expensive products; in fact, here's the recipe for a citrus-based exfoliant that will do wonders for you.
After exfoliating your skin, don't forget to keep it hydrated with our moisturizing cream for dry skin from Maminat. Thanks to its components, such as geranium and plant stem cells from oranges, it reduces wrinkles while eliminating tightness in very few applications.
Deep body hydration
Although we have different body creams available, if you are experiencing an episode of extremely dry skin, we recommend our Luz oil. Formulated with apricot kernel oil, avocado oil, olive oil, and calendula oil, we can assure you that your dry skin will be gone in very few applications. In addition, it does not contain any synthetic fragrance, which helps keep your skin hydrated.
Its natural ingredients not only provide deep hydration but also help restore the skin's barrier, thus reducing irritation and itching.
Once the itching on your skin has disappeared, you can maintain proper daily hydration with any of our other two body creams: Our Terreta body cream, if you prefer creams in liquid format, or our ‘A flor de piel’ solid body cream if you find the solid format more convenient.
Finally, it's important to remember that most gels sold in supermarkets contain a large amount of toxins that we absorb through the skin. At Maminat, we offer you an alternative: the Terreta gel, our natural and organic gel.
Thanks to its natural active ingredients, such as sweet almond oil and wheat germ, our natural and organic gels manage to soothe, soften, and hydrate the most sensitive and irritated skin.
Addressing itchy skin not only involves alleviating symptoms but also addressing the underlying cause. Maminat's body product skincare routine offers a comprehensive solution, using natural and organic ingredients to restore skin health. Even so, remember that itchy skin can be due to many factors, and if it persists over time, it's best to consult a dermatologist to find out the causes.
