November is National Healthy Skin Month
The largest body organ we have as humans is our skin, and it is also the organ exposed to everything. It can be damaged by things that go on both inside and outside of our bodies. One of those things is changing weather, and in many areas, November is the time of year when the air gets cool and crisp. Therefore, it seems fitting that it is also National Healthy Skin Month, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.
The Importance of Skin Health at Branru Farm
We know skin health is important because our skin is our body’s first line of defense. That is why we are proud to produce natural lotions and scented soaps like our Honeysuckle that are good for your skin because we use goat milk to produce them, which is nutrient-rich and an excellent moisturizer.
Common Skin Health Issues
National Healthy Skin Month is a great time to explore the many skin problems and concerns that can arise over time. For example, sun exposure can dehydrate and damage your skin. To avoid premature skin aging, you might want to try using a natural body lotion. Our Calm Me Down goat milk lotion is a great choice because it contains soothing ingredients like lavender and chamomile. Goat milk can help your skin in many ways. Here are some of its benefits:
Gentle Cleansing
Natural Moisturizing
pH Balancing
Nutrient Delivery
Adding Our Products to Your Skin Health Routine
Our goat milk lotions and scented soaps should certainly be part of your skincare routine, whether it’s National Healthy Skin Month or not. The operative word there is “routine” because you need to establish a full skincare routine for the best results. That means you should regularly:
Use natural goat milk soap like our Stormy Skies to cleanse your skin.
Use natural goat milk lotion like our Sandalwood to moisturize.
Protect your skin from future damage by consistently using sunscreen, even when there are clouds in the sky.
Avoid excessive use of makeup, and especially avoid leaving makeup on overnight.
The Power of Natural Ingredients
Goat milk soap, for example, is high in lactic acid. It is also great because it can gently exfoliate your skin to remove dead cells without exposing it to harsh chemicals or irritants. Meanwhile, goat milk lotion contains essential fatty acids your skin needs to stay healthy, and it also moisturizes and hydrates your skin. Again, it does so without the use of man-made chemicals, which are often harsh and sometimes seriously hazardous to your skin.
The Added Benefit of Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the use of scented essential oils to improve your mood or reduce your stress levels. When taking advantage of aromatherapy, you can opt for scents known for generally benefiting the masses, such as our Lavender body lotion. Lavender is universally known for its calming properties. You might also want to try scents you specifically enjoy, such as Aged Leather. Either way, scented products are sure to help calm your mind and ease your stress levels, especially after a difficult day at work.
More Ways to Keep Your Skin Healthy
Using natural soaps and lotions like ours is a great first step towards maintaining healthy skin. As mentioned earlier, so is wearing sunscreen on a regular basis, but what else can you do to keep your skin healthy? Well, we at Branru Farm recommend you drink plenty of water, get plenty of sleep, and eat a balanced diet. Doing all those daily is the best way to keep your skin looking its best.
