There are numerous causes for dry skin. Complexions can be stripped of moisture due to weather, harsh chemicals in skin care products and/or a compromised skin barrier and microbiome. Dry skin is also be symptomatic of certain genetic predispositions or hormonal imbalances that slow thyroid function (like Hashimoto’s disease). Even inflamed capillaries can deplete the skin of needed moisture. Skin that is uncomfortably dry is commonly treated by applying heavy emollients like oils and butters to the skin. It sounds counter-intuitive, but this approach can actually cause more dryness for those with oily, yet dehydrated skin. This makes it necessary to create a customized approach for each client. You must first determine the reason for their dry complexion with a proper skin analysis.
During this workshop Elina will discuss and demonstrate how to recognize the root causes of dry skin. She will then show participants how to select and perform customized holistic skin care protocols resulting in deep, corrective results for clients who suffer from dry skin.
