Natural cures for dry skin. |

For natural dry-skin care, raid your kitchen to create your own homemade spa treatments.
For many of us, the cooler weather brings parched, flaky skin and flyaway, staticky hair. The culprit: lower humidity in the air, which dries your skin. Central air and heating, space heaters and fireplaces all contribute to lower humidity levels. 1: Dab on olive oil. It instantly grooms dry cuticles, works wonders on hands and elbows, removes makeup, and soothes and conditions itchy, dry skin all over the body. "When your skin feels extra parched, you can dab a thin layer of organic extra-virgin olive oil under your moisturizer for an extra dose of antioxidants and good fatty acids,". 2: Try natural exfoliants like yogurt, papaya and pumpkin. 3: Make a homemade skin scrub. Economical and effective, a combo of sugar and any oil you may have around the kitchen makes a rich, nourishing body scrub for dry skin. Simply mix equal amounts of fine brown sugar and oil, and rub on using light circular motions. For an extra dose of vitamins and minerals, add a tablespoon of honey. 4: Harvest the healing power of honey. Honey is a time-tested cure for chapped, cracked lips. 5: And don't forget to treat your skin from the inside out. "A diet rich in magnesium, essential fatty acids, vitamin C and beta-carotene naturally feeds your skin from inside and makes it less prone to dryness,". Feed your skin with a meal plan that includes dark chocolate, salmon, and other fatty fish, oranges, mango, and carrots." |
