You don’t need expensive products to treat dry skin and there’s a natural skin care routine for dry skin that doesn’t require any lotions or creams.
In fact it only requires your hands.
The routine I’m talking about is a 7 minute skin massage that fixes not only dry skin, but many other skin problems like:
- Acne
- Eczema
- Wrinkling
- Sagging
- Poor complexion
- Roughness
And makes your skin feel like velvet. This massage is part of a 15 minute health regimen that exercises and develops every muscle on your body while improving:
- Your lungs
- Skin
- And all internal organs
The routine is very relaxing and energizes you for the entire day.
In this article we’ll look at:
- Why lotions and creams don’t work
- The two secrets to perfect skin
- How the self massage uses these secrets in the smartest way possible
- And the rest of My System and the accompanying Six Week My System Video Course
Lotions and Creams Don’t Work
Your skin is really important to your overall health and is responsible for eliminating toxins and waste products from your body.
Everything we eat, drink and breath has some degree of poisons in it. Many causes of depression, anxiety, nervousness, insomnia, giddiness, concentration problems and low energy come from your eliminating organs not filtering out these poisons; you skin is one of these organs.
It also protects your body from germs and bacteria. If your skin is weak, germs can penetrate the body much easier and you will find yourself sick more often.
Dryness is a sign your skin isn’t working correctly.
Most people turn to lotions to keep their skin healthy but lotions don’t work. What lotions do is give the illusion of healthy skin. Even when it comes to dryness it doesn’t actually fix the problem.
At best it only temporarily relieves it.
Here’s how lotions work;
You put the lotion on and it it fills in the lines of dry skin and superficially gives off the appearance of a health. Once you wipe the lotion off or it naturally comes off, your skin returns back to its dry state.
Nothing was fixed.
You will have to keep buying lotions and creams and other expensive products because your skin problem remains; this can cost thousands in a year and tens of thousands over the course of an entire life.
Wouldn’t you rather actually fix the condition of your skin so dryness can’t occur anymore?
The only way to do this is with the two keys of healthy skin that My System makes use of. These keys are cleanliness and friction.
Cleanliness Is Something You Probably Do
Or at least hopefully do.
The main part of cleanliness is making sure you shower daily and use a good soap a few times a week.
There is a better way to take your showers that you probably aren’t doing and you may have doubts about it. You shouldn’t though!
What I’m talking about is taking showers cool or even cold. Taking cold showers is better for your skin than hot water and it improves the condition of your hair and gives you calm nerves for the day.
There are ways to make your cold shower feel really amazing and refreshing; even more so than a hot one.
The way to do this is to make sure you are warm before getting in. In fact, you should never take a cold shower if you are cold, because it can do damage to your nerves.
If you follow that one simple rule you are in no danger.
The best way to make sure you are warm is to exercise before and get your blood pumping. This is exactly what you do in My System (I’ll explain more a little later).
Another good way to get warm is to start your shower off hot or warm and to end it cold.
Friction Is Something You Probably Don’t Do
But you should start doing.
There are thousands of tiny muscles connected to the vessels of your skin that go without exercise for basically your entire life. When these muscles lose firmness and elasticity, your skin begins to sag and wrinkle.
Intelligently using friction is the best way to ensure these muscles stay firm for life.
Also, there are billions of capillaries below your skin that have extremely important jobs. They help deliver oxygen and nutrients to your organs and help transport waste products, like carbon dioxide, out of your body.
If these tiny capillaries aren’t working properly your whole body will suffer.
Friction is like exercise for your capillaries and rational use of it makes them completely sound and healthy.
Plus it gets the dirt trapped deep in your pores out.
Cleanliness and Friction in My System
My System makes use of both. I’ll explain the whole routine in a second, but half way through you take your cool shower (after doing some exercise to warm up).
After you are done with the shower and dried off, you begin the self massage portion of the routine.
The massage is a simple stroking and rubbing to the surface of your skin from your hands. It is done in certain directions to improve blood flow while giving all your internal organs a massage.
Every part of your skin is polished and rubbed and it only takes 7 minutes to get through. These rubbings are combined with exercise, this way you get a muscular workout too. In all there 10 moves in the self massage.
Any skin problems, including dryness, is fixed from this.
Rest of My System
You might be a little curious about My System at this point. Basically it combines exercise, deep breathing, self massage and your daily shower to strengthen, relax and tone your body. There are 19 movements in total.
It only takes 15 minutes and there are no unnecessary pauses; every second of the routine is designed to improve an aspect of your health.
Your whole body, from your muscles, your lungs, your skin and all internal organs are strengthen and revitalized in this time period.
It doesn’t require any weights or equipment and can be easily preformed in your house.
The best part is how it makes you feel and it actually gives you more energy after the workout than before. Your whole body loosens up and you get a deep, but alert relaxation.
Your productivity improves without the need for coffee, pills or any other artificial stimulants that are ruining your nerves in the long run.
I’m going to explain how it works really quick and if you wish for an in depth look at the workout click here.
The first nine exercise are dynamic movements and include:
- Push-ups
- Sit-ups
- Leg raises
- Squats
- And other bends and movements for all your body parts.
You can expect an extremely strong core from these, and to develop your muscles and lose any fat.
The deep breathing is done after and between each exercise and serves to strengthen your lungs and give your internal organs a massage by lifting them out of their stagnant positions (I told you there’s not a wasted second!).
Breathing exercises can be dangerous if practiced unwisely and can cause damage to your lungs, heart and nerves. This happens if they are done with any amount of strain and done too aggressively.
One way to ensure you don’t strain is to learn relaxation techniques. These can take months to learn, and can be tedious.
The easier and more comfortable way to ensure you don’t strain is to breath when more air is needed; like after an exercise.
Did you know only 1 out of every 50 people breath correctly? Most peoples take shallow and fast breaths, using only parts of their lungs.
People who breathe deeply and slowly are more confident, less prone to anxiety, depression and nervousness. They also tend to be more energetic and have a more stable mood.
This breathing exercise will fix any breathing problems you have and will give you the deep and slow breathing you are looking for.
After the first 9 exercises with deep breathing in between you take your cold shower. After that you finish up with the massage; you do deep breathing between each massage movement too.
And that’s how you take care of all your health needs in just 15 minutes.
Before I Go
Your body is a unit and every aspect of your health depends on the health of another aspect. If you want perfect skin and to fix any dryness, you need lungs, skin, kidneys, liver, digestive system, veins, heart, and everything else to be working as well as possible.

You only start out with 6 exercise in week one at their most basic form. Week by week you add more exercises and increase the difficulty of previous exercises, strengthening yourself and making yourself more flexible for week 6.
There’s clear instruction on every move and you will learn My System in the easiest and safest way possible.

Thanks for reading!
I found your website extremely valuable. Even though I do not have any acne or eczema I do suffer from dry skin. I feel like this happens every time after I take a shower. I put tons of lotion because my skin feels so dry. Is it normal to feel dry skin after taking a hot shower?
I will start trying to take cold showers. However, in the winter season this is hard to do. So please provide me with an alternative. Thank you for the information!
Having dry skin after a hot shower is very common and cold showers are much better for your skin. Exercise before and the shower will feel amazing, even in the winter. Or you can start the shower hot and finish it cold.
Hi. I have been looking for some assistance for a friend of mine who has dry skin and come across your article. You have a very different approach to the issue. I was very interested to read your article and I am going to recommend your site and your system to my friend.
Chris.
Thanks a lot Chris I’d really appreciate it if you passed the information along. I hope your friend finds it useful
I found your article very interesting. I never knew that about lotions but I suppose that makes sense. I am always cold so I would really have to do a workout beforehand to warm up enough for a cold shower but that sounds intriguing.
I know you point out that lotions and creams don’t work. Is there any product like coconut oil that you would recommend to add into the daily routine if you did need some relief?
The skin massage I mention in the article is the best way to treat any skin problems. It will relieve any dryness and make it very soft. I have heard good things about coconut oil and I’m sure can help a lot
I really like this article as i have never really payed attention to the care of my skin but i know it is important
These opened my eyes up to a lot on how i can improve my skin health
one question i had was what is a good way to get rid of dry skin on the elbow
Actually the skin massage I recommend in this article tightens all skin, even the skin on your elbows
