Summer’s a great time for rejuvenation of your skin, especially if you have Atopic Dermatitis, Eczema, Acne, or Psoriasis. So in 2016, after over 20 years as a Memphis Dermatologist, I incorporated ideas from my own practice in Memphis Dermatology into the design of a helpful group of exfoliating moisturizers, GlycoShea Facial&Neck Lotion, GlycoShea Facial&Neck Cream, and Oil, and GlycoShea Hand&Body Lotion, GlycoShea Hand&Body Cream, and Oil.

So what’s an exfoliating moisturizer, and what do these products do in skincare?

Glycolic Acid tends to be helpful in Acne Hidradenisit Suppurativa Eczema and Psoriasis — Young couple applying Glycol;ic Acid Antiwrinkle Cream

Exfoliating moisturizers have two separate benefits: their lubricating qualities and their exfoliating qualities. In the case of GlycoShea Facial&Neck Lotion, its Refined Shea Butter moisturizes the skin, allowing better elasticity and reducing wrinkles, making it into antiwrinkle cream. Its Glycolic Acid, an Alpha Hydroxy acid originally discovered in sugarcane and pineapple, speeds up the cell cycle in the skin, improving skin color, texture, and tone, giving GlycoShea what are called exfoliating moisturizer qualities, turning GlycoShea into an Antiwrinkle Cream.

At Big River Silk Skincare, you can customize your skincare exfoliating moisturizer choices because we offer the GlycoShea Facial&Neck product as GlycoShea Facial&Neck Cream, GlycoShea Facial&Neck Lotion, and Oil. So let’s take a look at which is the best option for your skincare needs:

GycoShea provides rejuvenation through Refined Shea Butter — Glycolic Acid GlycoShea Facial&Neck Lotion

GlycoShea Facial&Neck Lotion is lighter to apply, nongreasy, and fragrance-free, appealing for most people with combination skin or even oily skin. It can be used once or twice a day, particularly to areas where you wish to achieve better skin color, texture, or tone.

GlycoShea's Antiwrinkle Cream ingredient is Glycolic Acid — GlycoShea Facial&Neck Cream has enriched Refined Shea Butter

GlycoShea Facial&Neck Cream has a higher concentration of Refined Shea Butter, making this product more lubricating and more useful for people with drier skin. With their more concentrated Shea Butter, GlycoShea Facial&Neck Craem has an initial aroma of Shea, right after application, with more prolonged moisturizing effects, making this variety more convenient to apply at bedtime.

GlycoShea Facial&Neck Oil is an emulsion aiming to lubricate you — GlycoShea Facial&Neck Oil has Cottonseed Oil

GlycoShea Facial&Neck Oil is more helpful for people that need to apply exfoliating moistureizer to larger areas of the body, particularly after bathing or showering, manufactured with the lubricating benefits of aroma-free cottonseed oil.

GlycoShea Facial&Neck Lotion, GlycoShea Facial&Neck Cream, and Oil, and GlycoShea Hand&Body Lotion, GlycoShea Hand&Body Cream, and Oil are also helpful for what makes them pure. Designed by Dermatologists, all of these exfoliating moisturizers are fragrance-free, dye-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, and formaldehyde-free, making them into Organic moisturizer (1 oz: $44.95; 2 oz: $68.95; 8 oz: $217.95).

GlycoShea Hand&Body Lotion is a helpful hand lubricant — GlycoShea Hand&Body Lotion marries Refined Shea Butter and Glycolic Acid

GlycoShea Hand&Body Cream, GlycoShea Hand&Body Lotion, and Oil are helpful lubricating moisturizers if you use your hands often, and want to maintain your resilience. Maybe you’re a parent doing lots of laundry or housework, or a chef, or a surgeon, or an electrician. Don’t let hand dryness or hand rashes drag you down! GlycoShea packs the skin rejuvenation of Refined Shea Butter with the antiwrinkle properties of Glycolic Acid Alpha Hydroxy Acid, making for a nice option, especially if you have Eczema, Atopic Dermatitis, Keratosis Pilaris, or Psoriasis (1 oz: $22.95; 2 oz: $34.95; 8 oz: $114.95).

If you have an actual skin condition, perhaps looking for Eczema Treatment, Atopic Dermatitis Treatment, or Psoriasis Treatment, consider an appointment with a Board-certified Dermatologist. I have practiced as a Memphis Dermatologist, at Rheumatology and Dermatology Associates, since 1993 (8143 Walnut Grove Road, Cordova TN 38018: 1-901-753-0168; www.Rheumderm.com). Or you are looking for a “Dermatologist near me” or “Dermatologists Near Me” or “Best Dermatologist Near Me”, you could find a Dermatologist closer to you by going to the American Academy of Dermatology web site, AAD.org, then plugging your zip code into the "Find a Dermatologist” tab.
