Brilio.net - Have you ever felt that your skin feels rough and textured when touched? It could be that skin that feels rough is dry and dehydrated. It's certain that this skin condition makes you uncomfortable. Not only does it feel rough, but dry skin also usually looks dull and sometimes itchy.
Usually dry skin is caused by the surrounding environment, such as the weather. Cold and windy weather has a high risk of causing the skin to lose natural moisture, causing it to become dry and chapped. Not only that, excessive exposure to sunlight can also make skin dry. In this condition, UV rays can damage the skin barrier , then reduce its moisture. The direct impact on the skin is that it becomes dry and scaly.
Daily activities such as bathing in hot water can also remove natural oils. Bathing in hot water can indeed make the body relaxed and fresh, but if you bathe in hot water for too long your skin can become dry.
The solution so that your skin doesn't dry out when bathing in hot water, just use warm water. Then limit bathing time to no more than 10 to 15 minutes.
Apart from that, you can also apply moisturizer or body lotion after showering. Not only that, you also need to use sunscreen before doing outdoor activities. This method protects the skin from sun exposure, so it doesn't dry out and makes the skin healthy.

1. Make sure your hands are clean.
2. Pour enough body lotion on the palm of your hand.
3. Pour three drops of face oil.
4. Stir using your fingers until evenly mixed.
5. Apply the product combination to dry hands and feet.
6. Leave it for a few minutes until it is absorbed.
The combination above does not affect the fragrance of the body lotion. Therefore, you don't need to worry because this product combination is also easy to blend.
The combination of these two products has its own benefits for moisturizing dry skin. Face oil can penetrate the skin layers deeper than many water-based moisturizers, providing more effective and long-lasting hydration.
Face oil will form a protective layer over the skin that prevents it from losing moisture and protects the skin from environmental factors that cause dryness. Face oils also often contain various vitamins and essential fatty acids, such as vitamin E, omega-3, and omega-6, which help repair and regenerate the skin.
Many face oils are rich in antioxidants that can fight damage caused by free radicals, substances that accelerate skin aging and worsen dryness. The natural ingredients in face oil, such as chamomile or rosehip oil, have anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe irritated and red skin.
Body lotion is formulated for use all over the body, so it can hydrate dry and rough skin in the elbow, knee and heel areas. The humectant content such as glycerin and hyaluronic acid in body lotion will draw water into the skin and maintain moisture.
Body lotions often contain ingredients that increase skin elasticity, such as collagen and elastin, which make skin appear more supple and healthy. Emollients in body lotion, such as shea butter and cocoa butter , can soften and improve the texture of rough, scaly skin. Additionally, many body lotions are equipped with protective ingredients such as ceramides and lipids that help strengthen the skin barrier, protecting against further dryness and irritation.
