Simple And Easy Dry Skin Treatment

By Susan Watson


Skin is the largest organ of the human body. It protects you, but it also shows your health condition as well as the extent to which you care for it. There is normal, greasy and dry type, as well as combined type. Each type requires a different care. If you are looking for the best dry skin treatment, here are some good ideas.

Dry type is especially sensitive. Even so, just a little change of your usual habits might make a great difference. Start with your showering routine. Use warm water instead of hot and don't spend more than five minutes in your shower.

Choose mild cosmetic products that don't contain alcohol, different harmful additives and alike. Shower milks and gels are much better than soaps, especially if they contain moisturizing body lotions. Use them sparely, or dilute them with water if you have to before applying them.

Once you clean yourself, don't rub your body with a towel. Use one soft towel just to tap off water partially, and apply moisturizing milk on wet body instead. One really good idea is to use pure organic almond oil for this purpose maybe once a week, in the evening. You don't have to apply too much, but remember to wear one pure cotton pajama or something during that night.

If some parts of the body are damaged and scratched, try this old recipe. Mix a large spoonful of organic honey and a spoonful of olive oil. Add ten drops of chanterelle oil to it. Apply this mixture to the damaged parts, cover with cotton cloths and leave for about fifteen minutes. If the damaged parts are on the heels, wear socks and leave them overnight. After that, rinse with warm water and apply moisturizing body milk.

Don't forget to wear protection against the sun. For your type this is especially important. Sun burns may be painful and annoying, as well as dangerous. Nevertheless, there is a simple remedy that might be quite helpful. Simply apply generous amount of sour cream on damaged parts, and leave it there for some time. Sour cream is great against redness and dryness. Other types may use yogurt instead. In any case, don't forget about moisturizing milk after this treatment.

Here's a refreshing mask for sensitive and dry skin. Thoroughly mix up one banana, spoonful of honey and spoonful of pure almond oil. If you do not have almond oil, you can replace it with olive oil. Add one spoon of yogurt. The mixture must be smooth. Apply on face and body and leave for ten minutes. Rinse and apply moisturizing lotion.

Of course, you have to nourish your skin from the inside as well. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables and drink enough water. Carbonated drinks should be avoided, as well as alcohol. Alcohol is equally bad as an ingredient in your cosmetic products. Mild deodorants without alcohol are much better solution. Avoid various additives in your cosmetic products as well as in your food, and check if you have any allergies.
