If you suddenly find yourself with an emergency skin problem and with no products in your dresser for them, these emergency natural skin treatments should help keep your troubles at bay.  Of course, these are no substitute for real products, so make sure you get proper skin treatments as soon as you can.

Dry Skin

Should you find your skin dried up and scaly, pull out a bottle of olive oil (actually, any vegetable oil will do as a natural skin treatment).    Apply it to the dry patches just after bathing and get it moisturized.

Another alternative is sweet almond oil, mixed in with a few drops of water.  Rub them together in your palm and massage onto the dry areas.

Skin Looks Tired

To nourish tired skin, use a homemade face mask to both lighten and brighten your skin.  Beat one egg yolk on a bowl, add one teaspoon of olive oil and mix it well.  Afterwards, add a teaspoon of honey.  Apply the natural skin treatment all over your face, avoiding the eye area.  Leave it on for 30 minutes and rinse clean.

Loose Skin

Witch hazel, a great topical remedy for bruises and bumps,  is used as an ingredient in many skin toners.  Used on its own, it can help tighten your skin without causing irritation.

When it comes to dry skin treatments, three ingredients always come up as the most important in the moisturizing and hydration benefits they can provide.  Want to know what they are?

1. Phytessence Wakame

A Japanese seaweed, it has long been the secret of flawless Japanese skin and is a frequent part of the national diet.  It’s packed with tons of minerals that have been proven to be effective for healing many skin problems.  It works best as a dry skin treatment, along with calming irritated and inflamed skin.

2. Cynergy TK

A very expensive ingredient, Cynergy TK is used in the most luxurious skin care products.  Sourced from the wool of sheep, it is a form of keratin that forms a protective and invisible layer on your skin.   As such, it traps moisture and keeps your skin hydrated for longer.

3. Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10

An ingredient that penetrates deep into the skin, it nourishes the skin from the inside, spurring collagen and elastin regeneration.  It rehydrates and soothes the skin from the inside, helping it moisturize in a natural manner.

Expensive Ingredients

All three of these ingredients are very expensive.  That doesn’t mean dry skin treatments that contain them will cost you an arm and a leg, though.  Truth is, a large part of the price of skin care products are a direct result of the marketing expenses. If you spend time searching online, you’ll find many skin care products that contain these ingredients, without the exorbitant tack-on costs.

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the skin and blood vessels, the exact causes of which continue to evade our grasp.  As such, a cure doesn’t exist, although many rosacea skin treatments can greatly reduce the symptoms and potential damage.

The symptoms of rosacea are quite easy to notice: redness, visible blood vessels on the face, flushness and a regular blushing.  It can look like acne, at times, although there are never any blackheads.  Get an expert’s opinion if you can’t determine whether you’ve got acne or rosacea to avoid wrong medications.

When choosing rosacea skin treatments, it’s important to recognize that the skin is ultra-sensitive at that point.  As such, dispensing products indiscriminately can lead to further problems.  The wrong rosacea skin treatments can actually exacerbate the condition, severely worsening its appearance.

For rosacea skin treatments, mild products are key.  Everything you use, from cleansers to moisturizers to topical healing solutions, need to designed for extra-sensitive skin.  If your rosacea is showing signs of aggravation, make sure to consult with a dermatologist for a proper management plan.  While early signs may be easily cared for, persisting conditions will need a complete solution that may be beyond an untrained person’s abilities to provide.

Once in a while, bold new skin treatments come out with a totally new approach to solving whatever skin problems you’re experiencing.  While it’s always tempting to try them out (especially when you’ve unsuccessfully used many other options), it might be prudent to sit back and let the product prove itself in the market first.

Do Or Die

There’s only one good time to try something totally unproven in a large scale: when there’s no other choice.  With skin problems, seldom is the situation enough to warrant such a risk.  There are usually always other options - treatment combinations, proven medications and similarly reliable stuff.  Why take the plunge on something that’s yet to establish itself as truly effective?

Skin Response

Too many beauty products in the market cause the skin to react negatively.  It’s a fact that many skin care products are largely hit or miss, working for one person yet going totally awry with another.  The risk of such results increase the more the new skin treatment proves to be largely unadopted by majority of consumers.

Don’t take a chance on your skin because the risks are seldom worth it.  Instead, stay with the tried and tested and let the new skin treatments prove themselves to be worth your while.
