5 Tips to get rid of dry skin

1. MOISTURIZE THE RIGHT WAY …

Dry skin is usually sensitive and, since winter tends to worsen the condition, it requires

 thorough care. The best approach to managing dry skin is to avoid using commercial

 creams and lotions that contain mineral oils and other petroleum products.

Creams and other skin-care products that are based on natural hypoallergenic 

ingredients are the best.

Every morning after showering, pat your entire body with virgin coconut oil, cocoa 

butter, or shea butter. They contain naturally occurring nourishing ingredients, such as

essential oils, skin-friendly Vitamins A, C, D and E, and protein.

Natural creams and lotions are extremely beneficial for dry skin - they heal, deeply 

moisturize, and protect skin from aging.

2. AVOID TAP WATER …

a) If your face skin is dry, try not to wash it with tap water since it often contains chlorine,

 fluoride, and other undesirable chemicals. Instead, use cold mineral water or ice made 

with it, or, better, clean your face with an alcohol-free cleaning lotion, toner, or cosmetic

 milk, made of natural ingredients.

b) They gently refresh dry skin without causing irritation, while respecting its balance of 

moisture. Toners and milks effectively remove daily impurities and makeup, purify and

 refine pores, and leave dry skin feeling clean, soft, and hydrated.

3.  USE OATMEAL SOAP ...

If your skin is dry and irritates easily, try to cut back on the amount of time you bathe

 or shower - some dermatologists even suggest spending no more than three minutes a 

day in water! Use the mildest soap available and do not overdo it - use soap every other

 day only. Scrubbing is usually not recommended for dry skin. Instead, once a week use 

a mild oatmeal soap, which will gently exfoliate your skin without causing irritation.

After bathing or showering, do not rub your skin with a towel, instead, softly pat it dry.

Apply a natural oil or butter when the skin is still moist, and pay the most attention to

 your lower legs where skin tends to be the driest.

4.  INCLUDE GOOD OILS INTO YOUR DIET ...

If your skin or scalp develop dry, irritated, itchy spots, do your best to avoid scratching.

 Apply shea butter or coconut oil several times a day and try to prevent water from 

splashing on irritated areas. Dry skin is also prone to eczema and other uncomfortable 

skin conditions. A good preventive measure is to augment your diet with essential oils

 contained in raw organic butter, cod liver oil, Omega-3 eggs, coconut oil, and fresh 

cold-water fish.

5. USE A HUMIDIFIER ...

In cold and dry winter months, consider investing in a humidifier and placing it in your

 bedroom or other apartment area where you spend a significant amount of time. The 

additional moisture in the air will help your skin condition improve almost immediately.

Once you start applying these tips, you'll notice a huge improvement in your skin

 condition and in no time it'll get back to normal.
