Title: Dry Skin - The Real Truth About Treatment and Prevention
Author: Gloria MacTaggart
Article:
It is thought that moisturizers provide moisture for the skin.
The truth is that moisture is naturally present in a healthy
body and the skin naturally functions to prevent moisture loss.
In fact, most moisturizers actually prevent the skin from
performing that function. The real solutions to dry skin lie in
enabling the body to produce the needed moisture and then
preventing its loss. How is this accomplished? The first
imperative is a diet that enhances moisture production. The
second is using <a

care products that lock moisture in without causing the damage
most moisturizers can inflict. Here's how you do it.
Let's first address the diet. The bottom line is a balanced diet
of fresh, natural foods - no cans, no boxes, no vegetables from
the bag in the freezer and no processed meat and fish. Even
then, when it comes to producing moisture, not all foods are
created equal. Let's look at those that are best for producing
moisture.
Protein: Seafood, especially salmon, is great for the skin. In
fact, some of the leading celebrity-status dermatologists
recommend eating it almost every day. Chicken and turkey are
also good choices. Go low on the beef. Also, don't forget
vegetables as a source of protein - tofu, beans, and so on.
Vegetables: The best way to eat vegetables is raw. However, if
you're not used to it you might want to start off with them
lightly steamed - cooked, but still a little crunchy. You'll
need vegetables of all colors - lots of leafy greens and red and
orange peppers. Also, make sure you include plenty of garlic and
onions (and eggs - although they're not a vegetable) as they are
high in natural sulfur - another must to increase moisture and
prevent dry skin.
Fruit: Raw and fresh, fruit provides the alpha-hydroxy acids
that keep your skin pH balanced. Apples, grapes, blackberries
and citrus fruits are best. Cherries and blueberries are
excellent sources of antioxidants and more ammunition in the
fight against free radicals.
Dairy: If you're lucky enough to live in a state that allows raw
dairy, do take advantage of it. It is easier to digest and is
loaded with the essential fatty acids that provide moisture to
the skin. Dairy is also high in glycolic acid which removes the
excess dead skin cells that product flaky, dry skin.
Now that your body has the moisture it needs, the next step is
to keep it in there and protect it against damage from the
drying chemicals in your environment. The first step is to get
rid of moisturizers that merely coat the skin with something
soft and silky. Instead, use a shielding lotion. Shielding
lotion is now recommended by thousands of dermatologists. It
bonds with the outer layer of the skin to form a protective
layer that locks in moisture, keeps out harsh, drying chemicals
and still allows your skin to breath. Shielding lotion is state
of the art dry <a

care</a>.
With the above routine, you'll start seeing changes in your dry
skin within a week. You'll feel better, look better, and be on
your way to optimum health.
