Beauty tips: Few Natural Remedies For Dry Skin
1. Skip the Hot Shower
Many people enjoy a steaming hot shower on a cold day. Your skin disagrees. Super hot water dries it out to no end. Give it a lukewarm shower, and if you use soap, make sure it is all-natural and the most gentle one you can find.
2. Employ Staple to Exfoliate:
You can buy an expensive jar of salt or sugar scrub to exfoliate – which removes dead skin cells and creates fresh skin that is more easily able to absorb moisturizers – or you can quickly whip up some all-natural formulas in your kitchen for pennies
3. Moisturize While Damp:
Whatever your moisturizing routine, do it when you’re fresh from the shower or bath – lotions are designed to lock in moisture, so make their job easier by using them when your skin is at its most moist.
4. Bathe Like Cleopatra
According to legend, Cleopatra's skincare routine involved milk and honey baths. Research has shown that honey soothes and moisturizes the skin, and may also slow the formation of wrinkles. However, the thought of reclining in a voluminous vat of pure milk seems unsavory at best and egregiously wasteful at worst. Instead, add a more sensible two cups of milk and a quarter cup of honey to a not-so-hot bath and have a hydrating soak.
5. Try The Overnight Express:
When skin is particularly dry, this treatment can't be beaten. Take a long, tepid bath before bed; long enough that your toes and fingers begin to wrinkle. Pat yourself dry and immediately coat yourself in oil – olive oil or coconut oil are appetizing options. Whatever your choice in oil, spread it all over, put on some old pajamas that you don't care that much about, and send yourself to sleep. Wake up soft.
