With winter here and more people trying to combat dry skin, I think it’s important to mention a couple of big time skin care ingredients that must be avoided in order to make progress.

We all know that EFA’s are good for skin. Unfortunately most of those good oils found in skin care products are refined or tampered with. Many, many dry skin products contain mineral oil and petrolatum which are highly refined petrochemical derivatives that may leave your skin and lips dryer. Say what?

Yes, these ingredients, found in thousands of dry skin care products, make your skin and lips dryer. They interfere with the skin’s ability to generate its’ own moisture so if you use these products long term…forget about it. And even worse, both mineral oil and petrolatum have been known to cause chemically induced acne. Just broke out for the first time? Only break out in winter? Check your dry skin products ingredients and if they contain either of the above mentioned ingredients, ditch them. Yes, ditch them.
