Managing Dry and Flaking Body Skin

Natural Organic Jojoba Oil helps restore, rejuvenate and maintain your skin's beauty and well-being

1. 1. Restore moisture (most important step)

   • Use skin barrier oils that are fragrance free such as natural organic jojoba oil

   • Use thick emollients (creams/ointments rather than lotions).

   • Apply within 3 minutes after bathing (“soak and seal” method).

     
     

2. Modify bathing habits

   • Keep showers 5–10 minutes, lukewarm (not hot)

   • Use soap-free or gentle cleansers

   • Avoid scrubbing or loofahs on flaky areas

   • Pat skin dry—don’t rub

     
     

3. Use gentle exfoliation (when appropriate)

   • Helps remove dead, flaky buildup

   • Prefer chemical exfoliants:

     
     

     • Lactic acid (mild)

     • Urea (hydrating + exfoliating)

   • Limit to 1–2× per week

   • Avoid these if for sensitive, cracked and / or inflames skin

     
     

4. Improve your immediate environment and related factors

   • Use a humidifier (especially in winter or heated rooms)

   • Wear soft, breathable fabrics (cotton over wool)

   • Stay hydrated (supports overall skin function)

   
   

5. Avoid the potential triggers

   • Harsh soaps, sulfates, alcohol-based products

   • Overuse of exfoliants or acne treatments

   • Long hot baths

   • Cold, dry weather without skin protection

     
     

6. Identify and treat potential underlying causes, which may include:

   Different symptoms suggest different causes:

   • Itchy, red patches → likely eczema

   • Thick, silvery scales → possible psoriasis

   • Greasy flakes (chest/back) → seborrheic dermatitis

   
   

7. When seek Medical attention or advice

   • skin becomes painful, cracked, or bleeding

   • No improvement after 2–3 weeks

   • Large areas affected or worsening symptoms
