Dryness occurs when the skin loses moisture or cannot retain it. Heated air indoors, bathing too often and using harsh soaps can contribute to dry skin.

Dry skin occurs most frequently on the lower legs, sides of the abdomen and thighs. Although the condition may appear anywhere on the body.

Extremely dry skin can lead to scaling, cracking, flaking and irritation. Natural remedies can typically resolve the problem.

Check them out below:

Oils: Applying moisturizer to dry skin creates a seal that prevents moisture from escaping. Try an oil-based moisturizer such as baby oil for extremely dry skin because it lasts longer than other types of moisturizers.

Natural oils including avocado, jojoba & almond, help keep dry skin hydrated. For best results, apply to your skin after bathing. Pat your skin dry with towel but allow some moisture to remain.

Sea Salt:

Sea salt can hydrate even the driest skin when used in a bath or as a salt scrub. Add a cup of sea salt to a tub of warm water and soak for 20mins to nourish extremely dry skin. Combine 1cup of sea salt with ¼ cup of vegetable glycerin to create a nourishing salt scrub for dry skin.

Rub on your skin in a circular motion and rinse with warm water. Follow with an oil-based moisturizer for best result.

Aloe Vera:

Aloe Vera gel has soothing, healing and moisturizing properties when used on dry skin. It works well on flaky skin, as it gently sloughs away the top layer of dead skin cells.

Apply a thin layer of 100% pure Aloe Vera gel to affected areas. If your skin absorbs the gel, you don’t need to rinse. If any of the gel remains on skin after 20mins then rinse with warm water. Repeat twice daily.

Honey:

Honey tightens, softens and moisturizes dry skin. Apply pure honey directly to extremely dry skin and tap the area lightly with your fingertips for about 2mins. This increases circulation and encourages deeper moisturizing action. Rinse well with warm water and apply moisturizer afterward. Repeat the honey treatment at least once a day to help soothe your dry skin
