Is your skin very dry? Are you fed up with your dry skin and looking for ways to alleviate it? Then you have landed up at the right place. Dry and harsh winter weather can extract moisture from the skin and make it dry, flaky and sensitive. It is essential that you take proper care of your dry skin, so here are some important steps that will help you

in dealing with your dry skin in an effective way:

• You should avoid contact with hot water as it sucks away the moisture from the skin and ultimately, makes the skin dry. So, use lukewarm water and never forget that hot water is a torture for your dry skin.
• Moisturizer is the key to soft, nourishing skin. Along with it you can also use organic extra virgin coconut oil and massage all over the body. This will help you get rid of dry, itchy skin and also make the skin squashy.
• You can also prepare a nourishing pack. For that, mix 1 tablespoon of almond and milk powder along with 2 tablespoon glycerin and 1 tablespoon each of almond oil and lemon juice. Make a mixture of all these and apply once a week. This will make up for all the nourishing requirements of the skin.
• You should exfoliate the skin on a weekly or semi-weekly basis. It is advisable to scrub the skin, which can be made by using natural ingredients. Also scrubbing while taking shower will help you in removing flaky skin.
• Mix 1 tablespoon of yoghurt and honey. Apply this rejuvenating face pack and leave it for 20 minutes. Wash it with lukewarm water. Repeat the procedure 2-3 times a week.
• Mix 1 tablespoon honey and olive oil with 1 tablespoon cream. Apply this on your dry face or hands and leave it for 20 minutes, this will impart nourishment to your skin.
• Researches have proved that omega-3 fish oil pills help in soothing super dry skin. This has proved very useful in treating dry or ‘winter affected’ skin or even hair and nails.
• Mash half an avocado and mix with few drops of lemon juice. Spread over cleansed skin, leave it for 15 minutes and dab off the excess using a soft tissue. This nourishes the dry skin and gives it a pleasing glow.

Dry skin will thus not be an issue to tackle, if you follow these easy tips and nourish your skin in an appropriate way.
