How to Handle Dry Skin Problem

March 23, 2009


Dry skin makes skin appear dull and lifeless. Particularly areas around the eyes and cheeks are worse affected. Excessive dryness causes wrinkles and hence proper care must be taken to avoid it. Dryness in skin generally happens when water-content in skin gets reduced at an excessive level. If you are facing the problem, do not rush and apply water on skin. Soaps and astringent creams are also to be avoided. There is nothing to be worried about if you are facing dry skin problem due to water, sunlight or change in weather. Here are some of the important and simple tips to avoid dry skin.

Moisturizer:
Apply moisturizer regularly. Take a good moisturizer and put it on your face, neck and other dried portions of the body. Gently massage with upward circular movement on your face. Your skin will feel soft and relaxed.

Almond Oil/Olive Oil:
If your skin is very dry, use almond oil or olive oil. Massage daily on all parts of the body before that goodnight sleep.

Home Remedy:
One of the most effective home remedies for dry skin is making the mixture of 1 tsp olive oil, 1 tsp orange juice, a little lime juice, few rose water drops and 1 egg yolk. Apply this mixture and keep it for some 10-15 minutes. Then take a bath.

Natural Remedy:
Banana is good for dry skin treatment. Squash the pulp of a ripe banana and apply it. After few minutes, rinse it with warm water.

Bathe:
Hot water bath is not good for skin texture, use warm water. You can also mix a little bit of milk to your warm bath water, put some almond oil into it and take a bath. This is very effective to soothe dry skin.

Food and Diet:
Go for a diet that is rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin C and Vitamin D. Take lot of fresh fruits. Vegetables and spices like coriander, cumin and turmeric helps the skin to ease out. Most importantly, consume 8-9 glasses of water everyday. There is no substitute of good water-consumption when you have dry skin problem.
