I tend to take better care of my skin in the summer, probably because more of my skin is visible. Honestly though, my skin needs to be taken care of year round because it can get really dry with cold weather just as it does in the hot, sunny weather. Know Your Ingredients (KYI) has some great gentle yet effective products to hydrate and moisturize your skin. What you put ON your body should be just as important as what you put IN it. KYI products aim to keep your skin protected and soft in the healthiest way possible by not using additives and preservatives. They are safe for all ages and do not contain any chemicals. Taking good care of your skin can help fight the signs of aging, and who doesn’t want that?
I’ve recently starting using a couple of products from KYI and am loving how great they work! KYI’s Sweet Almond Softening Oil comes in several amazing scents — relaxing Chamomile Lavender, refreshing Orange Mandarin, uplifting Litsea Cubeba, feminine Jasmine, manly Lime Basil and invigorating Peppermint Rosemary. It is also available in unscented for those that are sensitive. I’ve been using the Orange Mandarin one mostly on my legs and arms. It smells fantastic and really takes care of the dry, flakiness on my legs. Goodbye dry patches and itching!
Sweet Almond Oil is a very emollient moisturizer and lubricant and has many benefits:
- it prevents skin from becoming dry, itchy and flaky
- it is easily absorbed and helps aging skin because it eliminates impurities and removes dead skin cells while refining the skin’s structure and stimulating cell renewal
- it is a very good anti-inflammatory as it helps ease the itching and irritation caused by psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema and sunburn.
I love this product because I know that it won’t irritate my sensitive skin and it does it’s job!
Another great product is KYI’s Whipped Shea Butter Mask. This product has natural emollient and conditioning agents. It’s marketed as a mask for your face to erase fine lines overnight but can also be used on rough skin on places like your elbows and feet. I find it to be too heavy for my entire face but like using it as an eye cream. My favorite way to use it though is on my feet at night with socks over them to hold the moisture in. This product does an amazing job almost immediately on elbows and knees too. It comes in the same fragrances as the Sweet Almond Oil. I tried the Litsea Cubeba fragrance this time because I was curious what it smelled like. It’s a refreshing scent that smells somewhat like lemongrass to me.
Shea Butter provides many benefits to the skin:
- it combats aging by reducing lines and wrinkles and increasing skin elasticity,
- it relieves red, sore skin including eczema and psoriasis, it minimizes stretch marks and scars, including those left from acne,
- it conditions and softens hair.
Shea butter can be used on any part of the body, including lips, face, hair, elbows and feet!
