Like many people, you might have heard of MSM cream and are wondering why it has gained a lot of fans. If this is the case, this guide is for you. Read on to learn more about MSM and how it can help you with your skin concerns:
What is MSM?
MSM means methylsulfonylmethane, an organic sulfur compound. It occurs naturally in many fruits and vegetables (in fact, it’s what gives cabbage and broccoli their distinct odor when they’re cooked), and it’s also found in small amounts in dairy and meat products. Unfortunately, naturally occurring MSM easily gets destroyed when food is processed so, if most of your diet consists of processed food, it’s not surprising if your MSM intake is lower than recommended.
What does it do?
Fortunately, even if you don’t get a lot of MSM from your diet, you can make up for it by using MSM cream and supplements. Taking the latter can help in improving joint flexibility, strengthening your hair and nails, and, increasing your energy levels. It also speeds up the rate at which your body eliminates waste byproducts which, in turn, means you’ll have more energy to repair damaged cells and build new tissues.
MSM cream, meanwhile, can deeply penetrate your skin and make your skin cells more permeable. This means that they can better absorb the moisturizers, sunblock lotions, anti-aging serums, and other products you apply, ensuring that your skin is hydrated and protected from UV rays and aging and that you’ll get more mileage from the beauty products you use.
MSM cream has anti-inflammatory effect, which means it can help reduce acne, eczema, and psoriasis. It can also minimize pink or red acne scars as well as other hyperpigmentation issues like age spots, freckles, and melasma. Long-term use of this cream can make your skin smoother and correct uneven skin tone.
How do you use it?
Before anything else, you should first look for the right MSM cream. There are lots of options available online, but don’t just buy the first thing you see. Instead, take the time to look around and search for a product that’s offered by a reputable company, is made of high-quality ingredients, and doesn’t contain any fillers or harsh chemicals. This way, you can keep your skin in great condition and avoid exposing it to irritating substances.
Once you’ve bought your MSM cream, start the process by using the Lotus by Dr. K Facial Cleansing Brush to remove dirt, oil, and makeup from your face. Doing this is important so that there would be no layer of grime covering your skin and that your cream can easily penetrate your skin layers. After cleansing your face, apply your usual moisturizer then slather your MSM cream. This routine should work well for night time since it will give the cream enough time to do its job.
You can also use MSM cream in the morning. Just follow the steps above and, if your skin looks too matte because of the cream, rub on a tiny amount of grapeseed oil to your face. Doing this makes it easier for you to apply your makeup and gives you a dewy, glowing look.
Final thoughts
MSM cream is a great way to improve your skin in a natural way. Make it and Lotus by Dr. K a part of your skincare regimen and see how it can help you.
