Smooth and Soften the Aromatic Way
No doubt everyone has heard the saying, “Beauty is only skin deep”. Supposedly the intended meaning is that it’s what’s inside that counts - that visual beauty is just superficial. Well, people may have bought the statement when the very first version was written in the 1600s, but modern women are more likely to hear the saying and respond, “And your point is?”
Of course beauty is skin deep! But we should remember that total beauty requires taking care the total body. Even if you have a flawless face, you can’t be totally beautiful if you have alligator elbows, sandpaper legs, or cracking heels. Sometimes we forget to pay attention to the largest portion of the largest organ of the body.
Out with the Old, In with the New
Whether your skin is normal, dry, or oily, it can become scaly or flaky as dead skin cells accumulate on the surface. This happens because the skin regeneration process becomes less efficient as we get older. You need to help the process along by exfoliating to help slough off the older cells so the fresh, younger skin can come to the surface.
The skin on your body isn’t as delicate as your face, so you can exfoliate with a mesh sponge or a loofah. But it is possible to take off too much skin by rubbing too hard or too frequently, so take a gentle approach, and limit your shedding sessions to once or twice a week. For even greater benefit, you can also use a body scrub such as Dead Sea Aromatic Salt Scrub by Premier, which will nourish your skin as it exfoliates.
Keeping it Smooth
Once your skin is smooth, you can keep it that way longer by moisturizing. Moisturizers rehydrate parched skin cells, which enhances your skin tone and imparts a smooth texture. For best results, a good cream or body butter should be applied when your skin is still slightly damp after bathing. Dead Sea Premier offers rich, creamy Aromatic Body Butter that replenishes your skin without leaving a greasy residue. As a bonus, the delightful, natural fragrances create a soothing, pleasurable escape from the daily humdrum.
With the proper routine and quality skin care products, you’re bound to be beautiful, through and through.
