Dry Skin, How To Fix It!

Hi Friends,

Are you suffering from dry skin, or dry patches on your skin?

I’ve developed a technique over many years working as a makeup artist to help my clients get the best skin of their lives!

Watch my video today to see how it could help YOUR skin!

A Quick Recap Of My Video:

It can be tricky to know whether your skin is dry or, in fact, dehydrated.

To help your skin feel less tight, look smoother and less flaky, it’s crucial to determine what your skin is.

Is Your Skin Dry Or Dehydrated?

Here’s how to tell if you have dry or dehydrated skin:

Dry Skin:

Feels tight and uncomfortable after cleansing, with no oily patches throughout the day.

Dehydrated Skin:

Feels tight and uncomfortable after cleansing, with some oiliness appearing during the day.

4 Steps to Fix Your Skin

By adding my steps below to your existing skincare routine, you’ll re-balance your skin and give it back its natural, hydrated glow!

Did you know that what we cleanse our faces with can actually be one of the main causes of dry and dehydrated skin?

Why You Need to Use a Gentle Cleanser

So many cleansers are too harsh for the delicate skin on our face and can strip the skin of all of its natural oils (or sebum).

NEED TO KNOW…

For both dry and dehydrated skin, it’s SO important to use a gentle cleanser such as the NIOD Low Viscosity Cleansing Ester which doesn’t strip your skin of its natural sebum oil, as these oils act as a natural barrier to our skin, helping lock moisture in and keep our skin supple and youthful.

NEED TO KNOW…

Most of us tend to focus on the negative side of sebum, such as its ability to make your face look shiny, and its connection with acne.

NEED TO KNOW…

But the presence of sebum is actually GOOD for your skin!

This is because it protects the skin from losing moisture.

NEED TO KNOW…

Yet another good thing about sebum is that it contains a lot of vitamin E, an antioxidant that protects the skin from ageing as well as cancer.

Why You’ll Love This Cleanser

NIOD Low Viscosity Cleaning Ester is a nourishing skin treatment and cleanser, all in one!

This genius cleanser is strong enough to remove all of the dirt and grime from the day which can clog the pores on your face, but…

…ALSO gentle enough to not strip all of the essential oils (which keep your skin supple and nourished) from your face!

NIOD Low Viscosity Cleaning Ester not only cleanses your skin BUT treats it at the same time!

It contains revolutionary avocado esters which clean the skin, but also balances skin back to its natural state, leaving skin feeling and looking more YOUTHFUL!

What It Can Do For Your Skin

By using NIOD Low Viscosity Cleaning Ester both day and night, your skin will benefit from the following:

Skin will re-balance itself, meaning less dry patches (if you have dry skin), and oily patches (if you have dehydrated skin)
Skin will become more supple and less flaky
Skin will feel smooth, radiant and less tight

How To Use It:

Apply to face, neck and eye area using hands or a cotton wool pad, work the product into your face, neck and around your eye area.

Wipe away the NIOD Low Viscosity Cleaning Ester with clean cotton wool or rinse with warm water.

Once your face is thoroughly cleansed, you may like to blot your face with a tissue to remove the nourishing film of ester on your skin or leave the ester film on your face (if you have very dry skin) to further work its magic!

Dry and dehydrated skins LOVE to be exfoliated!

Try gently exfoliating dry or dehydrated skin at least twice a week with a pure cotton muslin cloth.

Why This Type Of Exfoliation Works

If you have dry or dehydrated skin, it’s important to exfoliate your skin very GENTLY and not use anything too harsh.

So, I recommend investing in a small muslin cloth, which you can buy from most pharmacies, grocery stores and online stores.

TRY THIS…

By gently exfoliating your skin 2-3 times per week using a muslin cloth, you’re encouraging your skin to ‘turn over’and reveal fresh new baby soft skin, and removing dead flaky skin cells.

Exfoliation also boosts your skin’s circulation, which helps give skin a youthful and healthy glow!

PLUS…

Your makeup will sit much better on your smoother-feeling skin!

How To Do It:

Simply splash your face with warm water, wet the muslin cloth and gently work the cloth in small, circular buffing motions over your face and neck area.

The best oils for your skin won’t make your skin oily, cause breakouts, or clog pores.

NEED TO KNOW…

Believe it or not, putting oil on your skin can actually balance the amount of oil your skin produces, making oily skin less oily, and making dry skin less dry.

THIS CAN HELP…

One of the BEST products I’ve found to help give dry and dehydrated skin the nourishment it needs is Botanicals Organic Cold Pressed Jojoba Oil.

What Is Jojoba Oil?

The Jojoba nut has been used by the Native American tribes for skin and hair care for many, many centuries – and for good reason!

Jojoba Oil mimics the skin’s natural oil or sebum (which means it doesn’t make skin oily or break out), and relieves the skin of dryness, takes down redness, and helps re-balance the complexion for dry and dehydrated skin.

Why You’ll Love Jojoba Oil

Soaps and most other skin cleaning agents strip the skin of the sebum that skin glands produce to lubricate the skin and protect it from drying out.

NEED TO KNOW…

Every time we wash our face and hands, even with just water, we’re removing a protective layer of sebum along with dust and grime.

NEED TO KNOW…

The cold and dry air in winter and air-conditioned interiors dry out our skin at a faster rate than our skin glands replenish the oil supply.

NEED TO KNOW…

Being a waxy substance, Jojoba Oil can seal in the moisture and create an effective barrier to external elements that can play havoc with your skin.

NEED TO KNOW…

Organic, Cold Pressed Jojoba Oil is so structurally close to the secretion of the sebaceous glands in the skin, that it’s readily accepted and tolerated by the skin!

Clever, huh?

What Jojoba Oil Can Do For Your Skin

Dehydrated and dry skin is vulnerable to irritants that cause dermatitis, and germs that are constantly looking for entry points into the skin.

NEED TO KNOW…

By adding Jojoba Oil into your skincare routine, you’ll be helping your skin fix itself by locking in the moisture and protecting it from the drying effects of the environment.

NEED TO KNOW…

As well as giving your dry or dehydrated skin the extra nourishment and hydration it needs, organic, cold pressed Jojoba Oil helps take down any redness or sensitivity in your skin, including any inflammation from rosacea and other skin conditions.

HERE’S HOW IT CAN HELP…

Dry Skin: Jojoba Oil relieves the dry tight feeling, takes down redness and helps the skin barrier become stronger, which, in turn, helps the skin fix itself by locking in more moisture.

Dehydrated Skin: Jojoba Oil balances dryness and oiliness and helps rebalance skin back to its natural state.

How To Use It:

If you like to wear a serum, apply your serum first.

Then, apply your Jojoba Oil (see how below).

Then lastly, apply your fave moisturiser (I recommend NIOD Hydration Vaccine for dry and dehydrated skin!).

After cleansing, apply 1-2 drops to the face and neck area both day and night, before you apply your day or night moisturiser (I recommend Hydration Vaccine)
Gently massage the Jojoba Oil into your face, neck and eye area
If you prefer a matte look to your skin, dab your face with a tissue to soak up any oil that hasn’t soaked into the skin before makeup application.

The Jojoba Oil I Swear By

I only use Botanicals, Cold Pressed, Organic Jojoba Oil since I know this to be of the highest quality grade.

It’s 100% organic certified and the oil has been extracted without heat, meaning that the oil is at its most nourishing!

It’s fantastic for both dry AND dehydrated skin!

If you have dry or dehydrated skin, it can be tempting to use a very rich moisturising cream all over your face.

While this may make skin feel nice, this doesn’t get to work on the cause of your skin’s dryness.

YOUR SKIN NEEDS…

…Jojoba Oil and then Hyaluronic Acid. Its calming, hydrating, and antioxidant properties are great for all skin types, even for rosacea-prone and eczema-prone skin.

Why Your Skin Needs It

Jojoba Oil will do a great deal to help fix your skin and seal in moisture BUT, to really help your skin back to a balanced hydrated state, you need to accompany Jojoba Oil with an amazing hyaluronic acid such as Hydration Vaccine which is an incredible balm packed full of the stuff!

NEED TO KNOW…

Hyaluronic Acid (it’s a good acid!) is produced by our skin naturally but as we age, our skin produces less of it.

NEED TO KNOW…

This science-based magic lies in hyaluronic acid’s ability to replenish moisture, a LOT of moisture! One gram (0.03 ounce) of hyaluronic acid can hold up to six litres of water.

Now that really is CRAZY!

The Hyaluronic Acid I Swear By

NIOD Hydration Vaccine is a little pot of WONDER which actually works to regulate and FIX your skin’s hydration levels, giving your skin back its youthful plumpness!

NIOD Hydration Vaccine mimics your skin’s own natural barrier to water loss, and so seals in your skin’s natural moisture and hydration, which helps skin to rebalance itself – clever, huh?

Dry and dehydrated skin is kept hydrated and moisturised all day long.

Why You’ll Love Hydration Vaccine

The NIOD Hydration Vaccine feels so luxurious and balmy, and like velvet on your skin!

Not only can you FEEL a difference in your skin as it feels beautifully smooth and soft instantly on application, but you can also SEE the difference, as it plumps skin and makes fine lines and wrinkles appear smoother.

What It Can Do For Your Skin

NIOD Hydration Vaccine is an absolute lifesaver for both dry and dehydrated skin!

Here’s how this wonder balm can help your skin:

seals in skin’s natural moisture elements, leaving skin feeling hydrated with a youthful bounce
fine lines and wrinkles appear reduced
plumps and smoothes skin and creates a fantastic base for makeup
moisturises and minimises rough, dry and flaky skin

How To Use It:

Cleanse our face, apply your Jojoba Oil (wait a few minutes) and then simply smooth NIOD Hydration Vaccine onto the face, neck, eyes and décolletage every morning and evening.

If you like to wear a sunscreen, apply this last of all.
