Don't be irritated!

The weather is cold here and you say your skin is dry and chapped? Since you can't change the weather, let's help you with your irritated skin. As the Seasons change so does our skin. It's best to be proactive about things, but you cannot do this without the knowledge of how to keep things in a steady state.
I promised a product will help heal skin from simple dryness on hands to maintaining a barrier on the skin as it heels from the moderate damage and exfoliation seen with eczema. The product I am talking about is made by La Roche-Posay. This company is responsible for some very nice skin care products. They do what they promise and are backed by scientific evidence.
CICAPLAST- This is thee most wonderful product that has proven itself time and time again to work it's magic.  Everyone from my patients to my family has been pleased with the results. Cicaplast has a paraben free formula.
It's key ingredients are made of a mineral complex of Manganese, Copper, & Zinc which all help to hasten the skin to turn over new skin cells.
The next one, are you ready for this? Madecassoside, say that 5 times fast. This is a purified molecule that when used in a topical form it will enhance wound healing and clear up your skin to make it free of skin lesions. It has the capability to increase collagen formation and to strengthen the newly deposited collagen layer.
C'mon go ahead and ask me why this is important? Well silly, your skin is the largest organ of the body. And when the barrier is broken we are left susceptible to infection. And this product also has an anti-bacterial agent to protect the skin while healing. Use to help heal eczema of hands, post laser work for resurfacing(non-ablative), & I personally used this when I had a burn from a flat iron-in 2 days it was healing nicely using it 3-4 x/day. This can be bought online Amazon carries it for about 15.00/15ml tube.
 Have a great Saturday. Tomorrow we can tackle rough, dry, calloused feet! I really don't like feet, but fugly feet are theeeee worst thing on a pretty women! You know who you are!! Love & Peace
