Taking care of your dry skin

When the temperature plunges down to below zero, the drop in humidity in the outdoor air can strip moisture from our skin. Indoor heating without the use of a humidifier can also cause dry skin. To avoid having dry, itchy and irritated skin all winter long, there are a few things that you can do.

First of all, take a look at the soap and moisturizer that you are currently using. Taking a long, hot shower and using a regular soap can make your skin very dry. It is best to use a gentle skin cleanser ( i.e. Cetaphil) and use less hot water in your shower during the cold season.

Moisturizers that are in a lotion often contains alcohol and fragrance that can dry and irritate your skin. Choose a moisturizer that is cream based and without fragrance to soothe your dry skin.

For people with extra sensitive skin, the chemical preservatives that are present in common off-the-shelf moisturizers can sometimes cause irritation and flare-ups of skin conditions.

At Custom Care Pharmacy, we now provide a 100% All natural skin moisturizer that we can dispense to you without a prescription. 

The All Natural Skin Cream contains ingredients that are 100% from vegetable sources, with absolutely no chemical preservatives. 

The natural ingredient, NataPres, contains extract of multiple plants that can naturally preserve the cream against bacteria and fungus growth.

Furthermore, we dispense the All Natural Skin Cream in an airless jar to prevent contamination that sometimes can occur with common twist top vials.

Of course, we continue to provide our classic moisturizers: both in strong base and light base. The classic moisturizers can be boosted with anti-wrinkle ingredients. Just ask us to "add booster"!  

Custom made Skin lightening treatment cream are also available.
