With so many dry skin products how can you possibly know which one is the best?
They all say they are the best. Why wouldn't they? Are you going to try or buy one that says it's just okay? No. So how can you determine which one is really the best?
The simple answer is that the best dry skin products are the ones that work for you. Everyone has different skin tone and composition. What may work great for one person may have no effect at all for the next person.
So how can you choose without spending a fortune finding the one that is best for you? Start by choosing well-known and reputable manufacturers.
Companies like Belisi, Almay, Olay to name a few of the better ones.
Next look for complimentary trial offers. This is one of the best ways to try the different dry skin products without spending a fortune. Most offer free samples or trials at no cost or just for the cost of shipping. A deal that can't be beat.
Gone are the days where you had the choice of 3 or 4 different brands and creams to choose among. Many of those first wrinkle creams and dry skin lotions were overly oily and left your hands feeling slightly slimy.
Amazing improvements in technological know-how has radically improved these first few creams and lotions. Today you can find literally hundreds of creams and lotions from about just as many manufacturers.
Quality can differ among the many choices and you should watch to make sure safe methods and ingredients are used to make the lotions.
There are many different combination used of natural and chemically produced ingredients. Many are similar in composition but are differentiated through packaging and marketing messages. You will even find some that are targeted to specific age groups. Don't be fooled.
Age only matters to the degree that more lines and wrinkles appear as we age. Drying skin and the resulting loss of skin elasticity from this drying is usually a factor of age.
However studies have shown that not properly moisturizing and caring for your skin while younger will lead to quicker or more advanced dry skin problems as you grow older.
The recent rage about tanning beds and the number of young (and old) people streaming to them to obtain a glowing and sexy tone will play havoc in the next decades. All you have to do is remember your tanning fanatic friends or even those who's job involved constant exposure to the sun. They looked fantastic when they were young. Now as they get older they look like shriveled prunes.
Lastly, you can spend time reading every review you can find. Other than discovering products that may be dangerous they aren't going to help you very much. The reason is that dry skin products do not work the same on every person. In fact, you can have 4 people try the same product and everyone will have a different result and opinion.
The only thing that is a sure thing is that you must start using or trying dry skin creams or lotions until you find the one combination and composition that works for your personal skin type.
