The simple solutions often go unnoticed so let's review the simple things first. If your dry skin has just started, if you have hard water, or swim a great deal, you should try changing your cleansing system first. It's a simple 3-sterp process.

• Stem #1 - turn down the water temperature in your shower! Increasing water temperature in the spring and fall to "warm up the shower area" or "just because I like hot showers"  is quite common but it may be causing your dry skin problems.
• Step #2 - you can try using your shampoo as a body wash in place of what you are using now. (For non-swimmers use - Malibu Well Water Action Shampoo or, for swimmers, use "Swimmers Soap" aka  " Malibu Swimmers Water Action Shampoo ")  The Malibu shampoos are designed to remove the hard water elements or chlorine elements from your hair. However your skin and hair are basically made of the same material so your shampoo can also be a big help with your dry skin.
• Step #3 - If Step #2 does not work by itself -  try using small amount of Malibu Well Water Action Conditioner or Malibu Swimmers Water Action Conditioner, on the skin to be sure all your skin is properly rinsed.

If changing your water temperature and changing your cleansing system does not work or you have both Hard Water and Very Dry Skin there are a variety of factors that may be causing your dry skin, however, dry skin is most often caused by two factors; slowing of exfoliation of skin cells and oxidation. The following oxidizing elements cause dry skin:

• Chlorinated water
• Sun exposure
• Air and wind
• Detergents and cleaning solvents
• Heaters and air conditioners

Additionally, as the body ages, the sebaceous glands do not produce as much sebum, the oil that lubricates the skin. Skin cells which normally exfoliate and reach the surface of the skin every day and a half can slow down, resulting in abnormal exfoliation causing dry skin.

The EC Mode - Malibu  wellness approach can help heal and prevent dry skin by shielding skin against harsh oxidizing elements and normalizing the exfoliation rate of skin. Research now confirms that nature's own vitamin C and vitamin E can:

• Scavenge free radicals that cause oxidation
• Provide a barrier of protection against further oxidation
• Penetrate into the deeper layer of the skin to replenish moisture and improve skin's smoothness
• Normalize the exfoliation rate of the skin
• Increase collagen synthesis
