I see women every day who have terrific bodies - firm and athletic - but whose faces look ten years older than the rest of them. Even though they are all using moisturizers, often very expensive ones, their skin still looks dull and lifeless, with deepening lines that continue to spread. It is because they are not using the right moisturizer for dry skin.

If your skin is dry, odds are you look older than you actually are. Fortunately, it is much easier to improve your skin than it is to buff up your body. It takes a lot less time and effort, yet many women despair at being able to do it. As in most things, making the right kind of effort is what makes the difference.

You can expect these things from your moisturizer:

Your skin becomes smoother and softer

Your skin plumps up

Any fine lines fill-in

Your skin takes on a radiant glow

Eruptions and irritations go away

If you are not getting these benefits from your moisturizer, the problem is not you or your skin type; the problem is your moisturizer. It is time to make a change.

From the transformations I see every day, there is nothing better for dry skin than whole, organic, plant-based moisturizers. They work better than conventional, synthetic products. The women I see who have great bodies and bad skin have not found this out. They use laboratory-formulated products that don't do anything for them. When their potions don't work as advertised, they go on to the next new thing. But they do not find what they are looking for.

Whole natural oils are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, anti-inflammatory compounds, and much more - way more than a manufacturer can afford to synthesize in a lab. The products that come out of factories, even those that include a few natural ingredients, are pale reflections of the real thing. "Synergy" is a natural phenomenon, not a laboratory gimmick. It is present in abundance in the rich, complex chemistry of whole, natural oils. They are what can truly feed your face and rejuvenate your appearance. They make ideal moisturizers for dry skin.
