Don't let Dry Skin Spoil your Winter Fun!

Dry Skin

Dry skin can be uncomfortable and unattractive. It often shows up as rough, red, and itchy patches in places of the body that show -- arms, hands, lower legs, ankles. But it’s also common on the soles of the feet, thighs, and the abdomen.

It can lead to cracks and fissures in the skin. And because cold air outside and heated air inside cause low humidity, it’s often worse in winter -- just in time for the holiday party season.

Some dry skin is hereditary. Some comes with aging, as natural skin oils diminish. Some can accompany medical conditions such as asthma or thyroid disease. But daily skin care habits such as washing with harsh soaps, using sanitizing or harsh cleansing agents, and scrubbing can also cause or worsen dry skin.

Since most dry skin is due to external causes, it responds well to external skin care treatment. Just making a few adjustments to your daily skin care routine can help. No matter what the cause, there are many things you can do to make dry skin smooth and supple.

Dry Skin Care Strategies When You Wash

Treating dry skin is important because extensively dry skin can lead to dermatitis, a more severe inflammation of the skin. Try these tips for the bath or shower:

• Skip long, hot showers. Hot water strips oils from the skin faster than warm water. Long showers or baths actually result in dried  out skin. Try to limit yourself to a single 5- or 10-minute warm shower or bath a day.
• Use a gentle cleanser or shower gel with moisturizer. Go for unscented, soap-free, or mild soap cleansers instead of harsh cleansers.
• Moisturize while skin is moist. Pat your skin with a towel after you shower or wash your face or hands, leaving it damp. Apply a moisturizer within three to five minutes of washing to lock moisture in your skin.

Ingredients to Look for in a Moisturizer

It’s not necessary to pay a fortune for a good, rich moisturizer. Read the label. Ingredients that may be helpful for dry skin include:

• Ceramides. Ceramides help the skin hold water and soothe dry skin. Synthetic ceramides may mimic the natural substances in the outermost layer of skin that help keep moisture in.
• Dimethicone and glycerin. These draw water to the skin and retain it there.
• Hyaluronic acid. Like ceramides, hyaluronic acid helps skin hold water.
• Lanolin, mineral oil, and petroleum jelly. These keep water in the skin that has been absorbed during bathing.

Be sure to apply sunscreen to areas of your body that are exposed to the sun during the day.Look for a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or more.

5 Lifestyle Tips for Relieving Dry Skin

These strategies can also help make your skin supple and smooth:

• Plug in a humidifier at home to help keep skin hydrated when indoor air is dry during winter months.
• Wear cotton and other natural fibers. Wool, synthetics, or other fabrics can be scratchy and irritating.
• Drink plenty of water.
• Eat omega-3 foods. Essential fatty acids can help fortify the skin’s natural oil-retaining barriers. Foods rich in omega-3 include cold-water fish (salmon, halibut, sardines), flax, walnuts, and safflower oil.
• For itching or inflammation, apply a cool compress or a hydrocortisone cream on the area for a week. If these don’t provide relief, talk to your doctor.

Dermaroller: Medik8 Dermaroller

Medik8 Prevent Roller Kit

The Medik8 Dermaroller is a hand held device covered in tiny pins made from titanium micro needles. The Dermaroller is rolled across the treatment area to form tiny punctures. These punctures encourage blood flow to the skin's surface, assisting the natural healing process and supporting the production of collagen, to improve acne, Scars, Pigmentation, Cellulite and Anti Ageing. The punctures in the skin also allows the topical creams with the Prevent Roller Kit and Pretox Roller Kit to be more effectively absorbed giving professional results at home.

Medik8

Medik8 is the brainchild of British pharmacologist Eliot Isaacs – and it is also made in the UK to keep its authenticity intact.This little skin research company is primarily interested in the field of sensitive skin green or natural based cosmeceuticals. Their premise is to provide a range for sensitive skin for all skin types rather than just a general sensitive skin care range.  To that end, they use methods, delivery systems and ingredients specially selected to work well for reactive skin without producing irritation. Cosmeceuticals contain more active ingredients in most cases, and these ingredients can cause reactions in fine, thin, fair skin or any skin type that is sensitive some or most of the time. Medik8 is a good alternative for someone who wants to use anti-ageing skin care but is worried about stinging, bumps or redness and flaking.  It is also a good introductory range for new cosmeceutical users who are just starting to upgrade their skin care regime.  If you have truly sensitive skin and react to everything you use, ONLY use one new product at a time and use sparingly. If you feel stinging or burning, wash it off immediately.

3 of their signature formulations include Red Alert, CE- Tetra andFirma Derma.

Red Alert Cleanse – This gentle foaming cleanser is designed to prevent flare ups. It comes in a self-foaming pump to make it easy to apply without aggressively rubbing the skin. The key ingreidents are Medik8’s Teprenone to manage redness, vitamin K to promote healing of capiliary walls and organic orange oil to reduce irritation. Effective for all skin types, even the most mature skin.

CE- Tetra – This Vitamin C serum has been shown to stimulate collagen synthesis, increase  elasticity and skin density and improve texture and brightness. CE-Tetra is especially mild to it will not cause irritation. If you have tried other vitamin C serums, such as SkinCeuticals, and it caused stinging, you may find the Medik8 variation to be easier to tolerate. It comes in a brown glass bottle with a stopper and only a few drops are needed to get the effect.

Firma Derma Skin Firming Serum for Neck and Decollete – Firma Derma containts DMAE, a well known antioxidant and lifting ingredient that has been shown to aid in skin sagging.  DMAE is touted to increase levels of the brain neurotransmitter called Acetylcholine which stimulates muscle fibres in the skin – to act like a topical form of BOTOX.  The delicate skin on the neck and décolleté are all too commonly overlooked. Use 5-6 drops and massage into clean skin day and night for best results.

How to use a Dermaroller

The Medik8 Titanium Dermaroller with 0.2mm microneedle length has been designed for personal, cosmetic use at home, as part of the Medik8 skin care regimen. Their main purpose is to enhance the penetration of active ingredients from the Medik8 Serums and creams into the deeper layers of the skin, which leads to an incredible increase in their efficacy. The minuscule skin “tunnels” created by the roller support the absorption of the active ingredients from Medik8 formulae dramatically, which helps to improve and maintain the healthy appearance of the skin. 
The Personal Medik8 Titanium Dermaroller models are also recommended for use in between clinical or medical Skin Needling treatments, usually set 2-3 months apart, and after the closure of the clinical/medical treatment programmes, to sustain skin regeneration results. Due to minimal level of needle insertion, the Personal Medik8 Titanium Dermaroller models are safe to use at home and are regarded as practically pain-free by the majority of users. 


The Personal Medik8 Titanium Dermaroller models are associated with very little downtime when used vigorously and with none if used as per instructions. Use a 0.3mm version if your skin is comparatively thick and resistant to pain or if you are not new to microneedle rollers and would like to obtain more spectacular results. Medik8 Titanium Dermaroller can help with skin problems such as: - 

• Facial Wrinkles
• Eye Wrinkles
• Scars
• Pigmentation
• Cellulite

Do not use a Medik8 Dermaroller on the following skin conditions: Active acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, keratosis and raised moles or Dwarts. 

Directions of Use: 

1. STERLISE:  Sterilise the Medik8 Titanium Dermaroller with a Sterilising Solution and allow to dry before every use.

2. CLEANSE:  Cleanse face, neck and décolleté using Medik8 One Cleanse Purifying Cleanser or your preferred Medik8 foaming cleanser suitable for your skin type and pat skin dry. 

3. ROLL:  Visually divide the skin into sections (forehead, left cheek, right cheek, nose, chin, left side of the neck etc.) Using a constant, gentle rolling motion roll 10 times back and forth over each skin section. 

4. PREVENT:  Apply Medik8 Vitamin C Serum - C-Tetra or CE-Tetra and allow to absorb. 

5. CORRECT:  Apply Medik8 Retinol 3TR Serum and allow to absorb. Alternatively mix Retinol 40 Boost with Hydr8 Resveratrol Night as per the instructions and skip the HYDR8 step. 

6. HYDR8:  Finish with Hydr8 Night.

7. FINISH: Clean roller with hot water and pat dry.

Treatment duration: 5 – 20 minutes, depending on the speed of rolling and the size of treatment area. Frequency of use: 2 – 7 times per week, depending on skin tolerance. To build up skin tolerance to Skin Needling, allow 3 day intervals between treatments for a minimum of 2 weeks. Gradually increase frequency of use, as your skin becomes adjusted to needling. IMPORTANT - Do not use more than once a day. Optimal treatment time: At night
