Dry Skin Treatment

Many people today have become very conscious and skeptical about the use of artificial lotions and moisturizers to tackle their dry skin problems. Some products are outright ineffective and some others may be detrimental to the skin in the long run. Under such circumstances, the reliance and preference for natural or home remedies to tackle dry skin problems is increasing. Given below are a few natural remedies that have been successfully used by many and are even found in artificial moisturizers.

• Use of olive oil or almond oil to massage your face and body right before you go to bed can work wonders for your skin.
• Always make sure your liquid intake in general and water intake in particular is high.
• Use only lukewarm water to bathe and wash your face even in winters as warm water perpetuates dry skin.
• A mashed banana applied to your face and neck every morning for 10 to 15 minutes is also very helpful to get rid of dry skin.
• Rose water and lime juice are very good for dry skin. Sprinkle it on your face and leave it for sometime. Wipe it of with a clean towel. It is the most inexpensive treatment to dry skin.
• Castor Oil and avocado oil can be used on the feet as the skin here is harder and different from that on the face.
• Have a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables rich in Vitamins and Minerals as it increases blood circulation and provides the much required nourishment to the skin.
• Do light exercises on a regular basis. Do not stress yourself out a lot. Avoid sleeping late or eating junk food or consuming alcohol and caffeine disproportionately.
• You can also add lavender oil to your bath water. Occasionally you can try a milk bath as well.
• Mixing unpastuerized milk with mustard and applying it on the face for about 25 minutes or so is a real miracle worker.

Egg yolk is also really good for your face. You can simply apply it over your face and wash it off. You can even mix with rose water and lime or orange juice to form a paste and keep it on the face for sometime.
