Home remedies for irritating dry skin.

When it comes to treating dry skin there are a wide variety of different

options available and finding the right treatment for your skin type is

extremely important. As with any process finding the right regimen for

your dry skin may take some time and patience, but once you do it can

help restore your skins natural balance which will make your skin look

more radiant and youthful.

Let's go over a few home treatments you can try to help relieve your

irritating, dry skin:

- Avocado mash

Mash up half an avocado, mix it with a couple of drops of fresh

lime juice and spread the paste on your skin. Be sure to thoroughly

cleanse your face before applying the paste. Allow it to remain on your

skin for between 15 minutes and 20 minutes, then rinse it thoroughly,

while alternating warm and cold water. This is a great way to add

moisture to the skin and achieve a healthy glow.

- Cleanse with mineral water

If you suffer from dry flaky skin, especially on your face, consider using

mineral water when you cleanse. Tap water is often laden with chemicals

that strip the natural oils and nutrients from your skin. Mineral water adds

healthy minerals to your skin and leaves it feeling soft and well

moisturized.

- Peanut paste

-  Blend three or four tablespoons of raw peanuts, a little bit of milk and a

teaspoon of raw honey into a smooth paste. A food processor works best

for this. Apply the paste to your face and any other place where your skin

is dry and allow it to completely dry, then wash it off with cold water. The

natural oils and antioxidants in peanuts are excellent for relieving dry skin.

*Warning - Do not use this remedy if you have a peanut allergy*

- Extract

Before you go in for a bath, try adding between 5 drops and 6 drops

worth of lavender oil or oat extract to your bath water. When your skin

soaks up the water and becomes soft, it will also soak up the extracts or

oils in order to improve upon your dry skin.

- Milk bath

Take a milk bath once a month. This is an age old home remedy for

dealing with dry skin that is well worth trying. A milk bath is both soothing

and softening for the skin. Don't worry; you don't have to invest in 20

gallons of help to make this happen. Powdered milk will do the trick.

Simply do a search online and you will find countless recipes for

homemade milk baths.

- Don't forget the fruits and veggies

As we have discussed before one of the best ways to have soft silky skin

is by including more fresh fruits and vegetables in your daily diet. Fruits

and vegetables because they are rich in Vitamin B and Vitamin A, and

both of these vitamins are especially helpful in keeping your skin feeling

young, healthy and moisturized.

You can experiment with some of these, look for others (online) and don't

be afraid to combine different remedies so that you can create a dry skin

care regimen that works best for you.
