Seasonal Skin Saviours by DMK
All the things that can make winter so wonderful like, sitting beside a cosy fire or having a nice hot shower can wreak havoc on your skin – making it dry, dehydrated, itchy and irritated. Cold, windy weather can also leave your skin feeling raw and dried out.
Yes, a hot shower might seem like a great way to warm up, but did you know hot water dries out the skin by stripping it of its natural oils? And sitting by the fire can dry your skin and compromise the protective barrier function. With DMK there are some simple ways to combat dry winter skin and help keep your skin feeling plump, hydrated and prevent Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL).
Our first seasonal saviours are the DMK Oils, adding these products into your routine this winter will help even the driest irritated skin. We have 2 options when it comes to our oils, Seba-e Oil and Herbal Pigment Oil. These oils are created using a specific blend of ingredients designed to replicate your natural sebaceous flow (oil flow) when used with the Herb and Mineral Mist they mimic our skins natural moisturisers and protect the skin.
Herbal Pigment Oil
This hydrating oil helps to brighten, smooth, and strengthen the skin, while protecting against dehydration. When used with the Herb & Mineral Mist it imitates the skins natural barrier to repair reactive and sensitive skin.
It is perfect for darker skin tones, skins prone to hyper-pigmentation and anyone suffering with environmental damage. This oil can be used on the face and body, it’s great for dry patches on the knees and elbows, raised scars, stretch marks, dry lips, and cuticles.
Top Tip: For dry cracked lips, apply a small amount of Herbal Pigment Oil directly to your lips to soothe and soften.
Seba-e Oil
This magical oil helps reduce dryness and plump up the skin. Seba-e is formulated to mimic the skin’s identical lipids and natural oils to promote barrier repair.
When used with the Herb & Mineral Mist it re-establishes hydration levels and revitalises the skin. This helps to prevent dehydration which can cause dry flaky, red reactive skin. Dehydration can also lead to fine lines, wrinkles and a loss of bounce and elasticity in the skin.
Herb & Mineral Mist
This is something that should be in everyone’s skincare routine! It is a must for anyone suffering with dry dehydrated skin this winter. It can be used with any of the DMK oils and Skin Nutrition Cremes or as a stand-alone hydration spray throughout the day.
This polarized spray is infused with vitamins, minerals, and trace elements to aid in transdermal delivery and rehydrate the skin. It can be used morning or night with your oils and cremes or throughout the day over makeup to protect against TEWL and keep your skin feeling fresh and hydrated.
Top Tip: Spritz lightly over makeup to set and prevent dry patches.
