DIY Recipe- Natural Honey Mask

WHY is my skin DRY?

The underlying issue with dry skin is that it lacks in moisture (oil) and protection due to under production of sebum (oil) in the sebaceous glands (oil glands) of the skin.

This lack of natural protection and moisture causes the skin to become fragile and sensitive to external factors. Premature aging, fine lines and wrinkles are a major concern with dry skin.

Insufficient oil supply causes skin to lose elasticity and the aging process is accelerated. Dry skin can also become easily irritated by products, cold, heat, and sun exposure.

One pro of having dry skin is that your pores are virtually invisible! So when properly cared for your skin can look flawless!


Try this DIY Recipe- Natural Honey Mask for DRY skin:

This mask is a great way to exfoliate DRY skin without irritation. The enzymes in the honey will help dissolve dead skin away, increase hydration and moisture absorption.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup of plain oatmeal
  • ¼ cup of warm water
  • 2 tsp of honey

Instructions

  • Mix ingredients into a thick paste
  • Apply using finger over entire face, including lips for softness
  • Let sit for 5-10 minutes, rinse with warm water

Well friends, we hope you enjoyed reading and learning about dry skin!

Peace, Love, and Great Skin!

September Special: Peels

Introducing the newest member of Dérmica’s Peel family- “Retinol + C Peel Boost”

September 2018 Special: 25% OFF all Chemical Peels

To kick off the season, our monthly special is 25% OFF all chemical peels.
All of our peels have been designed to safely remove the outer layers of the skin through the application of organic acids derived from various natural sources. This process brings fresh plump cells to the surface of the skin giving it a vibrant, healthy, smooth and even appearance.
This special is not valid with any other offer/promotion. No pre-purchasing; Ends Sep. 30, 2018.

How do Chemical Peels work?

Chemical peels work by separating the upper layers of the skin causing an accelerated cell turnover rate. Because of their molecular structure, they are able to penetrate past the acid mantle of the skin and deep into the layers beneath the surface of the skin. This causes your skin to shed and regenerate a new layer of skin in a 1 to 2 week period.

The acids we use in our professional chemical peels are typically derived from natural sources and produced for safe usage on the skin.
