3 Best Skin Products to Fight Dry Skin

As winter approaches and we prepare our lives for the pending snowfall, holiday craze, and quality indoor time, we must also prepare our skin for dry harsh weather that can lead to scaling, cracking and wrinkling. Seasonal changes can cause our skin to enter a state of dehydration where it loses its ability to draw in and retain youth boosting moisture.

Luckily a careful selection of skin saving ingredients and a commitment to daily application of hydrating products can help restore the skin’s once full, soft and smooth texture. The most effective products often contain these three of our favorite ingredients.

Avocado

Avocado is naturally abundant in vital antioxidants, soluble fiber, potassium and monounsaturated fats that help make it the perfect antidote to dry, scaly, winter ravaged skin. This powerful moisturizer helps soften the skin, diminish the appearance of fine lines and lead to a “plumping” effect as it helps retain moisture. As an added benefit, avocado’s rich lineup of vitamins help revive dry skin and protect it against future damage.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is well studied and well known as one of the most effective skin hydrating super ingredients. HA draws moisture to the skin and supports the barrier to protect the outer layer from moisture loss. This results in improved elasticity, texture and volume of the face. This technology can be found in serums, fillers, moisturizers and masks. We call hyaluronic acid a skin-care must.

Tamarind Extract

Tamarind seed extract is a surprisingly effective remedy in the harsh winter months that multi-tasks as a hydrating, antioxidant rich and restorative defense against dry skin. Tamarind contains moisture regulating agents that have been shown to promote a smooth complexion with diminished wrinkles and enhanced texture. According to one study, a particular Tamarind extract blend led to a 36% decrease in skin roughness after two weeks of use.
