While people with oily skin think they have to deal with a nightmare, they don't know just how much of a struggle it is to have dry skin. From itching to skin damage to flakiness, dry skin can leave you feeling quite flustered. More often than not, your skin is usually dry due to lack of hydration. Because of this, it starts to get flaky and begins to break down. So, while you may be using some certain skincare products to help moisturise your skin, if you want to go that extra step, you can always opt for some home remedies. Here are some dry skin remedies that will help make your skin all 'Mulayam'.

You'll need one tablespoon of baking soda and one tablespoon of almond oil. Mix these two well together and apply this paste to your face. Let it sit for a few minutes and then massage it gently on your skin. Rinse it off with cold water afterwards. Baking soda contains antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties that can work really well in reducing acne and breakouts. It also exfoliates dead skin cells and leaves you with beautifully soft and glowing skin.

Take two tablespoons honey and one teaspoon cinnamon powder and mix these two together. Apply it all over your face and let it sit for a good 15 minutes before rinsing it off. While cinnamon can unclog your pores and restore moisture to your skin, honey works as a natural moisturiser and keeps your skin feeling soft and silky.

You'll need one tablespoon brown sugar and one teaspoon extra virgin olive oil. Mix these ingredients together to make a face scrub and then rub your skin with it. Leave it on for another 4-5 minutes before rinsing it off. Brown sugar can help exfoliate your skin and can get rid of dead skin cells to give you smooth skin.

Mash up a ripe banana and add one tablespoon of coconut oil to it. Apply this paste to your face and let it sit for 20 minutes before rinsing it off. Bananas contain potassium which can help hydrate and moisturise your skin and can leave you with radiant, glowing looking skin. Bananas can also keep wrinkles from forming on your skin.

Take half a cucumber and add some aloe vera gel to it. Mix it well and turn it into a paste in a blender. Apply this mixture to your face, let it sit for 20 minutes then wash it off with cold water. Cucumbers are rich in Vitamins A and C, both of which can work wonders in hydrating your skin. Cucumbers can also help keep your skin firm.
