Dry Skin

Dry Skin 

Dry skin is akin to dandruff. Dandruff is dryness of the scalp, but dry skin can plague the entire body. Our largest organ is the skin so when it is dry, everyone can see it. Dry skin can crack and bleed from the lack of moisture. Restoring moisture to the skin is the only way to stop the dryness.

*. Cucumbers work to combat dry skin. Have you seen the women at the spa with cucumber slices on their eyes? That is to relieve tired eyes, but that cucumber juice will restore moisture to the face and other areas of dry skin. 

*. Honey is great also. Mix it with a little rose water to create a skin moisturizer that can be used all over the body, wherever dry skin is a problem. 

*. The same aloe Vera that is used for burns and scrapes works wonders for dry skin. That’s probably why so many companies use it as an ingredient in their lotions and other skin softeners. Pure aloe Vera works better. Simply massage the healing juice of the plant on the dry skin areas to restore moisture. 

*. Have you ever had chicken pox? The bumps dry your skin out and make it itchy. Many people use oatmeal to combat the itchiness. This same treatment can be used for people with dry skin. Create a paste using oatmeal,vanilla extract, baking soda, and warm water. Add the paste to running bath water.
