Simple And Nourishing 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.

In any case, there are a few rules to keep in mind. First, you should never stay for too long in the shower. This should take only five minutes, and the water should never be hot. Warm water is much better for you, and it won't wash out all natural oils.

Shower milks and gels must not contain alcohol, perfumes and the like. It is best to choose oil-based shower milks and those containing a high percentage of body care lotions. You should never use soaps, as mild shower milk is much gentler solution. Of course, you should use it in small quantities.

Never rub your body with a towel, simply tap it with a very soft one, to remove some of water. Apply generous amounts of some good quality body lotion while your body is still wet. Every once in a while, apply pure almond oil instead. It is highly nutritive and makes your skin soft and elastic. Maybe you should do it in the evening, before going to bed. Wear cotton pajama to protect your linen.

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.

Dry skin is especially sensitive to sun, and can easily get red or get sunburns. Protect it every single day, regardless of the season. If you get burned anyway, here is one simple and effective remedy. Pure heavy sour cream is great for this. Other types could use yogurt for this purpose, but you should apply sour cream on burned or red areas. After ten minutes or so, rinse and apply your usual caring lotion.

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 should also be careful about what you consume on daily basis. Don't drink carbonated beverages, try to drink water instead. Fresh fruits and salads are irreplaceable. Alcohol is not good for you in your beverages or in your cosmetic products. Avoid other dangerous foods and additives as well. And another thing, make sure you are not allergic on something.
