Dry Skin Remedies
My sister is plagued with dry skin
throughout the ear, and the problem just becomes worse every
winter. She buys tons of moisturizers, only to finish them in a
jiffy. If you (a) are trying to reduce your expenditure on
moisturizers, or (b) are looking for natural dry skin remedies, or
(c) are just curious about finding some new dry skin remedies,
read on!
Dry Skin Remedies: Washing
If your skin is extremely dry, you could consider avoiding tap
water, and washing your face with mineral water instead. Also,
avoid wiping your face with a cloth of a rough texture. Try using
either a soft cloth or tissues. Also, make sure you avoid hot
water, for it can be very drying.
Remember, the most important of the dry skin remedies is making
sure that you do not lose more of the natural oils than you can
help. After all, if you are constantly exposed to the sun and the
wind, you will end up losing much of these natural oils. So, avoid
washing with soap. Use products that are non-detergent and which
have a neutral pH level to wash your face. For instance, oatmeal
is often used as a natural substitute for soap.

Dry Skin Remedies: Moisturizing
If you have been cursed with dry skin, you will have to form a
long-term friendship with the moisturizers of the world. Try using
baby oil to get baby smooth skin. Use oil-based moisturizers and
avoid alcohol-based ones.
Remember how the Egyptian queen, Cleopatra, was often shown
bathing in milk? Well, if you are looking for great dry skin
remedies, milk will be one of the winners. Add some milk to your
bath once a week and soak in it. You will see a significant
difference in the suppleness of your skin. Milk works wonders even
on dry chapped lips.
A paste of honey, egg yolk and milk applied as a mask for about
fifteen minutes is one of the most popular dry skin remedies that
I have come across.

And if you love pottering around in the kitchen, try applying a
mayonnaise mask. Wash it off to reveal beautiful skin.
I have also found that applying a mashed banana mask for about
fifteen minutes and then washing it off leads to soft and supple
skin. This is one of my favorite dry skin remedies.
Dry Skin Remedies: Diet and Prevention
Drink more water to maintain the moisture levels in your skin. Eat
lots of raw fruits and vegetables, and increase your intake of
vegetable proteins. Avoid caffeine and alcohol as these work as
diuretics, causing the skin to lose moisture.
If you are a smoker looking for terrific dry skin remedies, try
reducing your smoking. Smoking dries the skin by depriving it of
nutrients and oxygen.
Also, never go out into the sun without smearing yourself with
oodles of sunscreen lotion.
Ensure that you sleep well and get sufficient exercise. The former
allows the skin to repair itself, while the latter boosts blood
circulation.
Follow these recommendations, if you want the best dry skin
remedies to work wonders for you. And once they do work their
wonders, watch the compliments start pouring in.
