How To Treat Dry Skin

Before using any home remedy for dry skin is to stop using SOAP! It doesn't matter if you have normal, dry, or oily skin nobody should ever use soap. Your facial cleansers should always be pH balanced. This means that your facial cleanser cream should have a pH that measures around 7 which is neutral.

Normal healthy skin has usually has a pH range of about 4 to 6......which is not too acidic or not too alkaline. So to keep skin healthy, your facial cleanser cream should also be within this range too. At this level, the acid mantle - which is the skin's protective barrier- can stay healthy and protect the skin from damaging elements of the environment like sun, wind, and bacteria.

Beauty and skin care experts all agree that honey is full of humectants, nutrients and can moisturizer the skin, soften scar tissue and encourage new skin growth. Honey also contains enzymes which helps to dissolve dead skin cells - this can exfoliate the skin and reduce bumpy dry skin while moisturizing it too. How perfect is that?

Once a week or so give yourself a nice mask facial for dry skin. This mask will also moisturizer, exfoliate, and tighten the skin. So consider using it before going out for big night. Your skin will look fabulous! Here is what you'll need for the Dry Skin Mask:

- 1 tablespoon of honey - 2 egg yolks

- (if you skin is very scaly, or flaky consider add some pineapple for more exfoliation. Pineapple is loaded with bromelain which help digest dead protein and skin cells).

Mix the egg yolks then drizzle in the honey (add the pineapple if you're using it) and mix again. Massage this mask to your whole face and neck. Let it sit and do its magic for 15 to 30 minutes, then rinse well. After you dry you skin consider applying a good quality, therapeutic moisturizer to help seal in moisture.
