Top Shower Tips for Healthy, Glowing Skin The Skin Actives Way

1. Avoid Hot Water: Hot water can strip away the natural oils from your skin, leaving it dry and irritated. Instead, use lukewarm water to avoid drying out your skin. Even better, try turning it to the cold setting at the end. Cold water is said to be good stimulation for your skin and hair follicles.
2. Limit Shower Time: Prolonged exposure to water can also dry out your skin. Limit your shower time to 10-15 minutes or less to prevent your skin from becoming too dry.
3. Use Gentle Products: Choose gentle products that are free from harsh chemicals and fragrances. Skin Actives' products are formulated with gentle ingredients that are suitable for all skin types, like our Gentle Cream Cleanser. To help combat itchy skin, try adding some Squalane Oil to your shower gel, shake before each use. You can also add some Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF) and MSR (Methionine Sulfoxide Reductase) to your conditioner, if it’s a cream rinse that is rinsed from your hair, you may not realize the full benefits so leave it on for 10 minutes or more to get the full benefit.
4. Use high quality shave lotion: For those who shave regularly, Skin Actives' Hydrating Shaving Cream is a great option to use in the shower. It contains ingredients like jojoba oil and aloe vera that help to soften the hair and lubricate the skin, making it easier to achieve a close and smooth shave without irritating the skin. Apply a small amount of the shaving cream onto your skin and massage it in circular motions, then shave as usual. Rinse with lukewarm water when finished.
5. Exfoliate Weekly: Exfoliating your skin once a week can help to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. Use a gentle exfoliator like Skin Actives' Enzymatic Exfoliating Scrub to prevent irritation and inflammation. Massage onto damp skin, leave on for up to 5 minutes and rinse thoroughly. Pay close attention to problem areas like elbows and heels.
6. Pat Dry: After showering, avoid rubbing your skin with a towel. Instead, gently pat your skin dry to avoid further irritation.
7. Hydrate while skin is still damp: To give your skin an extra boost of hydration, you can finish your shower routine with Skin Actives' Hydrating Spray Recipe Kit. This kit includes everything you need to make a hydrating spray that contains sea kelp bioferment, aloe vera, glucosamine and allantoin. These ingredients help to soothe and hydrate your skin, leaving it feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Simply mix the ingredients according to the instructions on the website, then spray onto your skin and let it dry. You can use this spray as often as you like throughout the day.
