Natural Help For Dry Skin

Natural Help For Dry Skin

Dry skin can be annoying and sometimes painful. There are many things to help restore the moisture to your skin:

+ Drink plenty of water. I suggest 1 quart of water to every 50 pounds of weight. If you weighed 150, you would need to drink 3 quarts of water daily. Most people do not.

+ Rubbing in almond oil or avocado oil can cleanse and nourish the dry skin. Pat the oil on, then wash it off with warm water and a soft cloth.

+ Olive oil helps encourage natural oil production if used consistently. Rub in every night until the dry skin has improved.

+ Some skin care products contain humectants. Humectants are substances which attract water to the skin to hold in moisture. Vegetable glycerine, vitamin B5 and vitamin E are all natural humectants.

+ Some skin care products also contain herbs. Comfrey, chickweed, calendula and aloe vera may help relieve dry skin when applied daily. Sometimes skin care products will contain both humectants and the herbs. This is a great choice. Put on your dry skin areas at least twice a day.
