Dry skin remedy 

Dry skin is softened and moistened at home level. Herbal fruit packs are effective in treating dry skin. Applying a moisturizer after bath is helpful.


Upward strokes are preferred while applying the same. Oil base creams are preferred, as they keep the skin moist and supple. Alpha hydroxy acids present in creams also helps.


Olive oil, beaten curd and honey are good face packs. Supplementation of vitamin E, A and B complex in the diet aids in improving the complexion of the skin. Raw vegetables and fresh fruits prove effective. Adequate water and fluids are recommended. Avocado oil or aloe vera gel is highly effective in relieving dry skin. Massaging almond oil, before retiring to bed, is effective. Grape seed oil application also has a positive effect. Cream of milk also aids in providing a supple skin. Topical application of a mashed banana is helpful. A bath with milk is effective. Peanut paste made with milk is applied with quarter teaspoon of honey. Essential oils, such as lavender oil is added to a lukewarm bath. Caffeinated beverages, smoking and alcohol are avoided. Exercise, good lifestyle and a strict dietary regimen helps in retaining a good complexion.
