Press Release Body: Loves Park, IL. July 17, 2008. Itchy, dry skin is irritating and
annoying. It can also make you nervous while at the same time make your skin red and
scaly looking. Purely Shea, The Leaders in Organic Shea Butter provides several
tips to those who are suffering from dry skin.

"First of all, you may need to see a physician, especially if you think you may have
a major skin condition, an allergic reaction or if your skin is getting worse"
emphasizes Dr. Robyn Tisdale Scott, the developer of Purely Shea. "Your physician
may prescribe one of many medications to help treat the allergy, skin condition and
the itchiness."

There are many allergens and other substances that your skin comes into contact with
on a daily basis that can cause your skin to become dry. Some of the most common of
these are: harsh detergents and your water (yes, most homes have what is considered
to be hard water.) As the name applies it can hard or harsh to your skin, as well as
to your hair. This type of water contains many impurities which can cause your skin
to become dry.

If you think it is because of your environmental conditions, you may want to
consider adding a humidifier to your surroundings, if it is possible. But if you
think your dry skin is not that serious, as of yet and is still treatable by you.
There are a number of at home remedies that you can try.

1. Moisturize your skin. Look for products that are made for dry, yet sensitive
skin. Use moisturizing products all year long. Remember they may even help prevent
wrinkles. A great option is organic shea butter which is loaded with anti-oxidants
and phytonutirients to place some in your hands first and allow it to warm. Then
it can spread quicker. You can apply this at night and wake up with softer, more
moisturized skin by morning.

2. Begin by drinking more water. If your body isn\'t getting enough water inside
of it, your skin will become dry. Then it will not matter how much lotions and
potions you apply to it, it will remain that way. You know they say you should
drink from 6 to 8 eight ounce glasses a day. Strive for as close to this as you
can.

3. Is your skin extremely dry? Try this messy method. Take a warm bath. Then
after partially drying off, apply thick liberal layers of shea butter over your
skin. Now promptly put on your pajamas and go to bed. Yes, your bed will be a mess
and you will have to wash those pajamas and sheets in the morning. But you should
also wake up with really soft skin.

Here are a few more suggestions for prevent dry skin in the first place:

1. Cover your face and body when it is windy outside.

2. Wear gloves when the temps begin to drop or when you are gardening.

3. Don\'t go barefoot, all the time. It is hard on the bottom of your feet.

4. Use gentle exfoliating treatments to remove dead skin.

5. Moisturize daily, if possible twice with Shea Butter

6. Wear that sunscreen, even in the winter.

7. Bath in lukewarm water, using mild soaps.

8. Use a Humidifier

9. Drink water

10. Eat healthy and don\'t forget those fruits


Remember dry skin makes us appear dull and can cause us to age quicker. Do what you
can to keep that skin soft and moisturized.
