Dry skin has no permanent cure but the skin can be softened and
made smoother by using a few remedies. Most popularly, lotions and
creams are used to soothe the dry skin. Using a mild soap or a cleansing
body wash might eliminate the problem temporarily. However, this option
can turn out to be pretty expensive if the skin is genetically dry or
just exceptionally dry. Certain remedies can be used to soften the dry
skin right at home.
A face pack made of fruits rich in vitamins
and water can have a good effect on the dry skin. Some of the fruits
that can be used are papaya, peach, and banana. Mashed avocado can also
be applied to the skin for a glowing effect. A mild lotion or
moisturizer can follow these face packs, to retain the moisture produced
by the face pack. It is advised to use oil-based lotions in such
instances. Moisture has to be applied with upward circular motion
always.
Night creams containing alpha hydroxy acids can be used as
night cream so as to have a fresh looking skin in the mornings. These
are more oily than the regular creams and work more effectively for
longer time during the nights.
A diet consisting of a lot of
Vitamin A, Vitamin B, and Vitamin E can be taken for an inner glow in
the skin. Leafy vegetables help the most in replenishing the moisture in
the skin. The water intake needs to increase a lot to help the body
have the required amount of fluids. Fruit juices are also considered to
be very helpful in softening the skin.
Rose water, almond oil,
honey, olive oil, and beaten curd can all be used as good face packs.
Other than this, daily massage or facial sauna with herbal oils and use
of mild detergent and fragrance free soap can work wonders on dry skin.
