Dry Skin Remedies

 

 

 

Having worked on peoples skin for many years I have  come across many different types,

tones and ages. I also like to look at the most natural remedies that can be found in anyone's cupboard at home so as not having to spend extortionate prices to help correct beauty issues. Of course we cannot ignore the beauty industry and all the amazing products on offer, with all the zillions spent on research to find the most fantastical remedy/cure/youth making lotions and potions. I will also talk about these at a later date.

 

Dry skin is my skin type and as I am allergic to many moisturizers I am always looking for natural solutions.

Because skin is an Organ it responds to the body and rarely lets you get away with anything. So if we let it get dehydrated the skin will become dry, however we shouldn't become confused with dry and dehydrated. The latter being a lack of fluid, but dryness tends to be due to under active sebaceous glands. These glands produce oil on the surface of the skin and keeps the skin nicely lubricated. Unfortunately dry skin ages quicker than a greasy type and often make up does not sit well. Eczema

can also make skin appear dry, so check that with a doctor .

Diet is hugely important to our skins health, so I will firstly suggest that you eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, drink plenty of fluid and get lots of fresh air and exercise.

My dry skin remedies good enough to eat:

 

Apple and Lemon exfoliant: Juice an apple skin and all, add a few drops of lemon juice and apply to the skin with cotton disc this will help to take away dry skin.

 

Aloe Gel exfoliant: Aloe has amazing healing properties and the acids from the natural plant will kill dead skin cells.

 

 

Natural Yogurt: leaves the skin soft beautifully soft

 

Apricot oil: A little oil on finger tips and massage into the skin

 

Avocado oil: Has amazing qualities and very nourishing for the skin  (check out my earlier blog on avocado super food)

 

 

Olive Oil: Is quite a heavy oil but use a little and massage well into the skin.
