The list of culprits that can dry out our skin is a very long one. From taking hot showers and scrubbing ourselves dry with a towel to wicked winter weather to lack of natural oils in your skin as you age, anything can cause dry skin.The good news is you don’t always need to visit a dermatologist to treat your dry skin. Instead, consider adding a natural moisturizer to your skincare regimen. Including a moisturizer in your skincare routine is a must, no matter what your skin type is (oil, dry, normal, or a combination).
As per Ayurveda, dry skin type (also known as Vata skin), can be treated through adopting warming, moisturizing, and grounding practices. Dry skin requires daily nourishment and hydration.
How Does A Moisturizer Work?
Moisturizers attract moisture from the environment and retain it inside the skin to keep it soft and hydrated. They help in preventing loss of water from the topmost layer of the skin by stimulating ceramide production in the body.
