I had so many conversations about discoloration and skin yesterday I could sign up for an aesthetician course and be a start student on day one. ONLY on day one mind you.
One conversation centered around how over 40 skin can look and feel dryer than we're used to and it was determined that the only thing that helps with that is regular exercise for increased circulation and moisturizing with a GOOD moisturizer daily before your skin is completely dry out of the shower. Never scrub your skin dry with the towel. Pat it dry and when you're putting on your lotion...kinda massage it in with circular motions like they do when you're getting a massage.
If you're noticing serious dryness, get you some Eucerin. You can try a free sample if you fill out the form over here: Eucerin
I buy the Intensive Repair one with the green lid.
One thing you shouldn't ever skip is moisturizing your skin. When your skin is extra dry it itches. When it itches you scratch and scratching can leave marks. Keeping it moisturized also helps scars fade quicker and well...your skin looks healthier.
Also...a little dab of vitamin E mixed in with your normal lotion will help if you have dark spots. It's thick as all get out so a little dab will do ya just fine.
We have to take care of ourselves because we all know that when we look good we feel good and vice versa. We have to FOCUS on keeping our stride STANK!
What type of moisturizer are YOU using?
