Dry face is one skin problem that seems to occur at any time of year and can be especially troublesome as we age! I will share with you what you can do to
relieve this condition.(Those looking for amazing ANTI-AGING products click here).
Dry face skin, also known as xeroderma, is a common condition in which the upper layer of the skin, the epidermis, turns itchy, tight, and rough and can many time appear as wrinkles and loose skin. Sometimes a rash can occur along with bumps and at times may develop into rosacea, acne, itchy eyelids or even perioral dermatitis.
I am often asked, "What causes my face to become so dry?"
Very importantly, I strongly recommend learning to recognize your own personal trigger factors.
Listed below are some main trigger factors to dry face skin for a lot of people but be sure to track your responses to see what yours are:
1) weather that is too dry with low humidity, too hot or brashly cold along with the irritating effects of smog and pollution
2) illness, skin diseases, prolonged stress all disturb the balance of our bodily systems
3) bathing too frequently with water that is too hot or even soaking too long in a daily or even weekly bath
4) sensitivity to certain soaps and lotions that contain harmful synthetic ingredients that are harsh and corrosive to your skin
5) over exposure to UV rays to the point of sun
burn which damages the skin with long term negative effects including
age spots
6) alcohol, smoking and caffeine can visibly cause dry face skin.
7) lack of certain vitamins such as vitamin A, Omega 3, zinc and B Complex which all work together to feed and maintain skin structure
8) severe diarrhea and vomiting, a high fever, profuse sweating during exercise or simply not drinking enough liquids
9) hypothyroidism, a condition that occurs when your thyroid produces too few hormones, reduces the activity of your sweat and oil glands, leading to rough, dry skin
10) age, your skin tends to become drier because your oil-producing glands are less active, cells shed more slowly making your complexion appear rough and dull
I know that when problems with facial and neck skin erupts, it is not only uncomfortable but can also be embarrassing with the need to "face the world" everyday.
Since your lifestyle plays an important role in your external appearance, here are some overall health tips that will benefit not only your dry face but overall skin:
Eat healthy. Your body needs protein, vitamins and minerals to keep your skin healthy. Eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and drink plenty of water to help keep your skin hydrated.
Exercise. It improves blood circulation, which will improve your skin's tone and elasticity as well as keep your glands and organs stimulated for normal functioning.
Sleep. If you're not getting enough sleep, or the quality of your sleep is poor, your complexion will become puffy, lack lustre and look sallow.
Quit smoking. It causes premature aging and deep
creases especially around the eyes and lip area as well as clogs your
pores.
Protect yourself from the sun. No matter what your complexion or skin tone, use sunscreen generously, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. which includes the winter months.
Next, I recommend a simple two-fold plan to help relieve dry face symptoms. Establishing a good daily skin care regimen will help you to eliminate sensitive skin reactions.
Cleanse with warm (not hot) water and use a mild, "non-soap" cleanser" that is hypo-allergenic, fragrance free. It is important that it contain only natural ingredients filled with nutrients that will begin moisturizing your skin.
Most soaps (even those listed as gentle or doctor recommended)
are extremely drying - this is NOT the result you are looking for.
Further, always avoid harsh, grainy scrubs as these can irritate your
skin. Next, it is
important to couple your skin care with a cream that is specially
formulated for the face and neck.
It must be a fragrance free, all natural and deep moisturizing face
cream. I recommend staying away from is anything that even has a hint of
fragrance! Fragrance ingredients in cosmetics are a key trigger for many
persons. Reddened skin, acne,
stinging eyes and
an overall dry face can all be caused by fragrances.
Never use anything with formaldehyde-based preservatives which are also leading causes of sensitive skin reactions. Sadly, most face creams are cheaply made and once a person is sensitized even the smallest exposure can trigger a response.
Instead, use formulations with gentle, yet effective, preservatives such as antioxidants (vitamins C and E) that will promote better skin health for mild to severe dry face symptoms. A natural and effective cream should unpack dry cells and restore and repair your dry face skin. 7 layers deep to penetrate the deepest layers of the skin!
You see, if your cream does not penetrate these layers, the
slowed sloughing or exfoliating of dead cells causes cells to clump
together in flakes or scales. In time,
your skin loses its youthfulness and dryness sets in.
A quality face cream should also be formulated with vitamins, herbal
botanicals to have the capability to begin hydrating and soothing
problem dry face
skin. Also important is that it stops the itching associated with dry
face skin while it's working.
Learn to read labels because most creams contain irritating chemicals and mineral oil which simply sits "on top" of the skin, suffocating your pores and adds to dry face.

Hello Nanette, I had a rash on my face and nothing would get it to calm down. I also have very dry skin and develop “hot spots” whenever I try new products that can range from laundry soap, bath soap, etc. My 3 yr old daughter has inherited my awful skin and has what the doctor calls chicken skin on her arms. She’s had it since she was a baby. I put the Face & Neck TheraCream on my dry spots and on her arms. After just a few applications, it cleared both up. I am truly amazed..... Your Face & Neck TheraCream is super moisturizing! Thank you! Chelsea Smith
Hi Nanette, Thank you for your amazing products!! I've had bumps on my skin across my nose and the bridge with redness and swelling. The rash was very itchy. My doctor recommended using cortisone cream and I reluctantly tried a few applications of the cortisone cream but it did nothing. I also tried natural oils and lotions, but nothing I used helped. As soon as I applied your Face & Neck TheraCream I literally felt it working immediately, and within 4 days the rash was almost completely gone. I also had a nasty insect bite on my ankle that was very itchy and swollen and applied some Face & Neck TheraCream and totally forgot about the bite because it totally disappeared after one application. I wish I would have had your cream for all the years I suffered from eczema on my hands. I will recommend your products to anyone I encounter needing help with a skin condition. Thank you so much for coming to my rescue. I always want to keep your cream on hand for my very reactive skin. You were an answer to my prayers. Gratefully, Sandra
Dear Nanette, I have been to many dermatologists, all of who could not help me with the circle of itchy rash and pustules around my mouth. Most of the steroid creams they prescribed to me, made my skin worse. Then, when I stopped using them, my condition would worsen for days! I began using your FACE & BODY WASH with the FACE & NECK THERACREAM and I was amazed and grateful at how well my skin responded. I am sending you pictures to show you how far along I have come in such a short time. Much gratitude goes out to you. Mrs. Hollander, MI
My under eyes had started reacting severely to my prior face wash and moisturizing products. My under eyes were red, raw, painful, and would get extremely dry with scaling which made it difficult to wear makeup under my eyes because the makeup would look awful on top of the scaling skin. I started using the Face & Neck TheraCream and the All Over Face & Body Wash exclusively, and within a couple of days, I felt relief. The TheraCream is so moisturizing! After only 1 week, the redness, burning and scaling skin had completely stopped and all dryness under my eyes has gone away. I will continue to use these products and now look forward to trying some of the anti-aging products as well. Thank you Aim2Health! Jenny F.
Letter to Nanette:
My face skin was so dry and red with white patches when I came to see you. Since I was visiting from Ireland I was desperate for some type of relief. What you recommended worked so well that I wanted you to know that I appreciate natural products and I thank you for your great advice and kindness. My best to you always, T.McD., Ireland
Dear Nanette, I had very red, dry and ITCHY eyelids - on top and on bottom!! I was beside myself scratching ALL DAY LONG! I had a hard time going out of the house because I couldn't stop the itching and peeling that I experienced every day. Steroid creams would make it worse and even thinned the skin on my eyelids making them painful to the touch. You recommended the FACE & BODY WASH and the FACE & NECK THERACREAM and wow!!! What a difference in just a matter of a few days! I will always use your products as they are all natural and make my eyelids feel great. I thank you from the bottom of my heart...I am so happy! Patricia, Australia
Greetings! I just had to tell you that I'm so impressed with the products I received from your company. I got them last night and tried them all! I am amazed at how my skin and hair look today! My face is less red and itchy and that is after one night and one morning treatment. I can't wait to be using it for a week! Thanks for caring enough to make pure products! Susie P., Wisconsin
