Natural Cures: Dry Skin

Hello!
For many people (guys & girls) dry skin can sometimes be an unwanted problem. I always think the best way to solve a problem is first to know the problem.

Your Skin is the largest organ of the body. Yes it is an organ. The skin is like a sponge in that it absorbs nearly everything it comes into contact with. So my advice is before you put some moisturiser on your skin, make sure it can breath first. For those of you that have access to a sauna, please used it daily or at least a couple of time a week to clean your skin from the inside out. Moisturiser is only a temporary solution, as it only treats the surface of your skin and for alimited time.

The body naturally produces oils, so the ideal thing is to have the pores and all avenues for your skin to fucntion propery, to be clear. This is accomplished by using a sauna. If you you cant use a sauna then a hot bath would be good alternative.

Once your skins pores are nice and clear, then take natural oils, and the body will use them to nourish your skin naturally. Here are some oils which benefit your skin:

Chamomile
Geranium
Hyssop
Lavender
Patchouli
Rose
Sandalwood
Ylang-Ylang

So keep your skin in good health and give your body the things it needs to naturally hydrate the skin and keep it healthy.

I'm a firm believer in Aloe Vera for all sorts of skin ailments. It's excellent for dry skin and is also known to help prevent and repair wrinkles.

I'm a licensed esthetician and even though I have access to some of the top, most expensive products, the following natural mask is one of the best soothing remedies for dry skin:nnCombine an egg yolk with a tablespoon of mayonnaise or yogurt and and another tablespoon of honey. If you use yogurt, add a 1/2 tsp. of almond oil. Apply to skin lightly and let it dry. Wash off gently with warm water. nnAnother healing facial mask that is a remedy for extremely dry skin is to beat an egg and add oat flour to it. You can make oat flour by whizzing oatmeal around in the blender. Spread the mixture on your face and relax for 10 minutes before gently washing it away.
