While your African American skin care product can keep you looking great throughout the cold months, winter winds may still leave you with dry, itchy skin. Recently, Straight.com, a Canadian news source, spoke to Rebekah MacLaren, an esthetician and skincare advisor at the Spa Boutique who offered some tips on how to get rid of cracked winter skin.
She said that people with drier skin may be able to use a face cream with oil in it. While most people avoid these creams for fear of breaking out, if you have dry skin you may be missing some natural oils that can help keep your skin moisturized. People that don't feel comfortable using oil, however, should try products with hyaluronic acid.
"[Hyaluronic acid] is an ingredient that actually holds up to a thousand times its weight in water, so that way, you’re using something that adds water to your skin, and not oil. That’s a good option for someone who has oiler skin," said MacLaren, quoted by the news source.
WebMD reports that some people have even referred to hyaluronic acid as a "fountain of youth" product that can reduce the signs of aging. While there is no scientific proof of this, the substance may have multiple benefits.
