SSS Intense Hydration Cream (for scaly dry skin)

Here is the backstory for SSS Cream for Dry to Scaly-Dry Skin

When I had beauty clinics and employed beauty therapists, they would cringe when I scratched my arms or legs. My skin was so dry that the used to tell me it sounded like sandpaper scratching on the wall.

I had tried all manner of hydration products – mostly commercial, and nothing added any lasting hydration. I pretty much gave up and just went with dry skin.

I have since learned that super dry skin is a symptom of hypothyroidism, and I do tend to dwell on the threshold (refusing resolutely to be medicated, and taking daily iodine supplementation to keep it in check.

As I was developing the first body and skincare products for the Baliba Apothecary and for my other active skincare brand, it hit me that a body product with rich hydration ingredients and a touch of Vitamin A t would enable to skin to be less dry by encouraging hydration through mild desquamation.

I trialed and tested a couple of iterations and found that it does! That it feels lovely on application and smells divine is totally a bonus.

So – like many of the products in the Baliba Apothecary, this product was specifically created for one person, improved progressively over time, and eventually added to the Apothecary Collection.

While the richness of the ingredients collectively gives immediate and day-long relief to even crocodile-dry skin, Scaly Skin Solution has a longer-term goal of enabling your skin to rehydrate itself more effectively with mild daily desquamation from plant-based Bakuchiol.

This is a must-try product for anyone suffering from super dry skin. As you get older, skin becomes thinner and more fragile. It’s a very good idea to increase skin health for this reason.

All ingredients in this product have been added with the goal of achieving a high level of hydration and a high level of nutrition. You will feel immediate relief from the very first application, but results improve over time with daily use due to the inclusion of plant based Vitamin A ingredient bakuchiol.

Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin morning and night for 7 to 10 days. As the skin’s health begins to improve and the bakuchiol’s mild desquamation starts to take effect, you should need less after a week and a half. Cut back as your skin requires on a daily basis.

For maintenance once hydration and skin texture has improved, we recommend Baliba Moringa Healing Lotion.

Cut back as your skin requires on a daily basis. You can use this product on your face if you would like to, but we recommend you try Moringa Bakuchiol & Ginger Renewal Serum for your face.
