Skin Care
Skin Care is Important
As someone who suffers from a cousin to the skin disease Psoriasis called Pityriasis rubra pilaris, skin care products are something of a hobby for me. Much in the same way I figure wheelchairs are a hobby to people who are crippled. Anyways, the point that I’m trying laboriously to make, like a deaf mute man trying to record his first hit single is that skin care is really important to my day to day living. I mean, I guess I could just walk around feeling like my skin had said hello to this idea of flexibility, but hadn’t ever gotten to first base with it. If that seems like a really lame way to go through life, then I agree with you.
Don’t Get Burned
But, due to the nature of PRP, I can’t just go out and buy any old skin lotion, either. Most of them have this nasty thing call perfume in them, and with cracked and dry skin, that stuff is like acid burning on my flesh. Only, unlike normal acid, where there’s a handy label saying something to the effect of, “Do not pour this on your arm. If you do pour this on your arm, you’re an idiot that deserves what happens.” No, I don’t get that. I get something more along the lines of, “Vaseline Intensive care great on dry skin.”
Comfort Comes at a Price
The only way I’ve ever found to avoid something like the acid illustration is to shop in the organic skin care aisle. On that aisle, you’ll find things that, admittedly, sound more like food items than skin care products, but they will actually work, and do so without irritating your skin, which to people like me is a big plus. But, I feel I should warn you that these products won’t always be the cheapest things of the market, due to the extra work involved with harvesting the ingredients. The benefits are worth the price, however.
A Few Suggestions
Things you should look for in organic skin care products are, Jojoba, Safflower oil, Rose hip seed oil, Shea butter, Beeswax, Witch-hazel, Aloe vera, Tea tree oil, and chamomile. The combinations of these can be used to treat just about any problem and, in many cases, are better than the more common big name brand lotions.
And even though they aren’t as popular as the major name skin care products, the organic products are still carried by most supermarket chains and, while generally more expensive, they are still an affordable alternative.
