SkinEnergizer.com recently announced a new group of products for dry skin…just in time for windy, cold winter weather!
The Dry Skin and Face Kit contains three of their best-selling products for addressing severe dryness of face and body tissue. This particularly helpful to those of use who experience flaking, dryness, and severly dry skin when the temperatures and humidity drop.
I recently tried the kit on our annual family ski trip. Being from the south, there is something about being in the mountains that dries-out my skin – severly. Maybe because I’m getting older or because of the altitude and low humidity, but either way, my hands and face go into a bout of severe dryness making may hands (especially) look like they have been immersed in powder – and they are sore too.
I tried the new kit for week and was very satisfied. I used the dry skin wash daily – not just on my face, but in the shower as a body wash. It worked very well…but like many washes and soaps, it’s designed to clean…so, there was some drying but not as much as I had.
The dry skin toner works very well. I had a few blemishes and they were knocked out quickly, and the non-alcohol formula was pretty gentle.
The dry skin face mask was probably the product I liked the best, but its impractiacle to use on a daily basis. The company, SkinEnergizer.com, recommends weekly use. I agree. I used it on my face and hands. I can tell you it works great. It felt like I had a moisturizer applied after I washed it off, but no greasy or oily feeling.
Personally and professionally, I would recommend these products for those with medium-to-severe dry skin. The wash and mask, especially, would be very effective and useful for those folks over 50 – when skin begins to dry and thin. All the products are rich in nutrients and minerals, and the mask has anti-oxidant properties as well. For normal or daily use, I’d take a look at their moisturizers. They come in a number of varieties from focus on deep moisturization to antioxidant protection to anti-aging, to firming lotions that tighten skin and remove wrinkles.
The price on the kit (at this writing) is about $40 – and I know it is currently on sale as a promotion. This compares favorably to other products we have reviewed – in fact, it is less than many of the moisturizers we have tested. But this is not uncommon for SkinEnergizer®. They are both a distributor of name brand products, but they also manufacture many of the products themselves – selling them at wholesale and discount pricing – you know, “direct from the manufacturer”.
All-in-all, I think there new products for dry skin are great skin care for cold, wind, low humidity weather and for those with severly dry skin. Used with a daily moisturizer or moisturizing complexion cream, this may be the best new solution for drying, flaking, and cracking.
There are many different thing that can cause harm to your skin, thanks to modern science we can stop these things and slow the signs of aging naturally. We can do this by helping our skin repair wounds faster and more efficiently. The longer your skin takes to heal itself or if it is severely damaged it can lead to massive scarring or irreparable damage. This is where anti aging skin care products come into play, they can help slow this process and even reverse it.
We use the word damage loosely but generally it refers to and incidents that break the skin, bruises, burns from the sun or other things and troubled areas. There are many environmental things that can cause damage like extreme sun, cold, wind and free radicals. There are things that you can do personally to damage the skin like weight gain, smoking or tanning beds.
Once the damage is done it sometimes can be hard to reverse or repair. If exposed enough it can even lead to cancer. The most common side effect is rapid aging. This is when your skin ages faster than it should leaving you looking and feeling older. There are steps you can take to guard against this of course, things like drinking plenty of water, wearing sunscreen and using a neutral moisturizer like emu oil.
Emu oil helps heal the skin by moisturizing it and helping it produce collagen faster. It also is good at treating burns, cuts, scars, fungal infections and rashes. It is hypoallergenic and very gentle on the skin. It is also and antibacterial and anti microbial agent. Which mean that it will help fight off surface problems.
Aloe Vera is another ingredient you should look for in the natural products you buy. It is full of Vitamin C and help repair skin cells. Like emu oil it has been proven to make skin healthier in many different areas. It is very hydrating and soothing to irritated areas. That is why it has been used for burns for hundreds of years. It fights off free radicals as well, which is a great guard against the harsh environment.
Like emu oil, aloe vera does not clog pores and it easily absorbs into the skin. Jojoba oil is another great ingredient to look for. It is super hydrating and helps deep cleanse the pores and skin while locking in moisture. It has been shown to lighten skin blemishes while easing minor cuts and scrapes and helping them heal faster.
The trick to using any product is consistency, you have to use the product as directed to get the results you want. For some people it may take longer because of your bodies chemistry, but if you keep with it you will see results. The reason we stress natural products is because cheaper products use harsh chemicals which your body has trouble processing. Some of these cheaper ingredient have even been show to cause cancer or do other harmful things.
It is a common thing these days to be tricked into buying some stupid product that doesn’t live up to the hype. Most of the time you end up wasting time and money, and even worse than the it is most likely natural skin care products you are purchasing. Now don’t get us wrong there are plenty of skin care products that do what they say they are going to do, but are they natural.
Younger looking, brighter skin is obtainable but finding a natural product that can do this can be difficult. Natural products can do everything from remove spider veins to fight wrinkles, but they tend to be more expensive and harder to find. These days with the help of the Internet the products are getting easier to find but choosing the right product for you can be hard.
People do things to make themselves look better everyday. From using a moisturizer to getting surgery. Many of the products out there are poorly made with cheap products, that are put into fancy jars and marked up 1000%. Don’t fall for the gimmicks any longer. Look for products with ingredients you understand like aloe butter, emu oil black willow bark and things of that nature.
If you are going to buy a new skin care product make sure it has a money back guarantee this will make sure you can get your money back if you do not like the product or if it doesn’t work. Stay away from products that use cheap harsh chemicals, which can damage your skin or cause allergic reactions.
Here are some products to look for and stay away from. Liquid Petroleum (Mineral Oil) – Is a petroleum based oil that clogs pores and is the leading cause of adult acne. 4-Dioxane (Dioxane) – Has been proven in some states as a catylist to cancer. Aroma (Fragrance) – Fragrance is bad for you and can harm your skin and your lungs, stick to essential oils that are natural. Preservatives (Parabens) – Helps the product keep a shelf life some will not harm some are terrible for you. Hydroxyl Functional Group (Alcohol) – Can dry your skin out and leave you susceptible to illness.
Your skin is a major part of you, if it is unhealthy you will be unhealthy so take care of it. It can be damaged very easily. When putting a product that has chemicals or even fragrance on certain areas of your body it can be very harmful to you. Always remember when you apply something to your body it is absorbing it so if it has chemicals in it you are absorbing the chemicals.
So without further wait here are some of the things we are trying to improve with the skin care products we purchase. Collagen (Protein Bonds) – Occurs naturally in mammals has to do with connective tissue which effects skin tone and firmness. Elastin (Elastic Protein) – Helps with the bodies reshaping after weight gain or loss also can control wrinkles. Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone) – A vitamin oil that helps with cellular respiration, which gives your skin high energy output.
Just keep in mind there is no miracle cure for aging, but there are steps you can take to slow it down and even make yourself look younger by using natural skin care products. Just do your research to make sure the product you are choosing is right for you and your body.

The benefits of Emu Oil are far ranging – from very common use in hair products to skin care.
Emu Oil is what is known as a “carrier oil”. It has the ability to deeply penetrate the layers of the skin (and scalp) unlike many other oils such as Jojoba, Mineral or Argan. This penetrating property allows its healing abilities to treat common skin problems where they start – most often in the dermis layer of the skin.
It is a natural anti-bacterial making it ideal for treating burns, cuts, and wounds (even scars from surgery or injury). It is also an anti-inflammatory having the ability to reduce inflammation, irritation and to soothe itchy and redness.
The video below is a quick overview that discusses some of it’s benefits that include treating skin rashes, acne, abrasions, and stretch marks. It can be used by itself or combined with other lotions, creams and shampoos to generally improve efficacy of the product. There are a range of Emu Oil products available and you can find it as a key active ingredient in many high-end treatments.
