DR. MIKE’S THREE STEPS TO REMEDY DRY SKIN

Suffer from dry skin? You are not alone; this is a VERY common condition, especially as we get older. Dry skin complications include rashes, bacterial infections, and eczema.

STEP 1: Toss out any harsh chemical soaps and liquid body washes, these are the most common causes of dry skin. The worst offenders are deodorant or antibacterial soaps, as these generate lots of lather and leave us feeling squeaky-clean but at the same time effectively removing the oils from the surface of the skin and drying it out.

STEP 2: Seek out a handmade natural soap that has been formulated by a competent and qualified soap maker. Ask the soap maker what natural vegetable oils are used to make the soap, and if it has been “superfatted.” What this means is that the recipe has been designed in such a way that some of the natural vegetable oils have been left unsaponified, and it is these oils that can help moisturize your skin when bathing.

Of course we recommend using Indochine Natural soap, and in particular Dr. Mike has formulated our HONEY SOAP especially for dry skin. This soap is unique in that it has been superfatted, PLUS, we use organic New Zealand honey in this soap recipe. Because honey is a good humectant, it helps retain moisture in the skin.

Our fragrance free handmade natural soap with organic New Zealand honey is perfect for the delicate skin of infants and the aged. This soap makes a perfect top-to-toe for those with sensitive dry skins, scalps and problem hair.

STEP 3: Be mindful of other causes such as frequent and very long hot showers, excessive air conditioning, and sun exposure.
