Massage almond oil or olive oil into your skin every weekend as a part of your moisturising routine. Make this your weekly routine and you won’t ever have to worry about dry skin. It’s not even painstaking to make. Almond oil is a sure shot way to beat dry skin in the winter.
22/28Fenugreek
Coconut oil is a popular method for treating dryness. But have you ever tried making a paste of ground fenugreek seeds and coconut oil? If not, try it. Apply the paste once or twice a week. The mucilage found in fenugreek works as an emollient that moisturises the skin thus curing dryness.
23/28Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar helps balance the ph levels of your skin, causing the skin to maintain its natural oils. Mix 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar with 1 teaspoon water and apply the mixture on dry patches. Do this once a week to keep the dryness at bay.
24/28Oatmeal
This superfood not only works wonders for metabolism but it also can also effectively nudge out dead skin cells and other irritants that clog the pores. This makes it a natural exfoliator. If you mix oatmeal with warm bathing water you will have the perfect formula to get rid of dry and flaky skin.
25/28Coconut oil
This staple has a slew of skincare benefits. Its light texture enables it to easily penetrate the multiple layers of skin to moisturise dry skin from within. Apply coconut oil on your face and limbs for 30 minutes and then wash it off with lukewarm water.
26/28Milk and honey
These two if used together, make for one of the best home remedies for dry skin. Start out with two tablespoons of milk, and add in one teaspoon of honey. Blend the two and apply the mask on your face and on any dry areas of the body. You can then wash it off with warm water to rid yourself of dry skin.
27/28Rose water
Exfoliation is essential in the winters for dry skin. Also, dead skin left behind and if not taken out in time will lead to you having a dull tinge on your skin. Mix one teaspoon of sugar, a few drops of rose water and one or two drops of lavender oil in a bowl. Rub the mixture on the dry areas of your body and then wash it off with lukewarm water to get rid of flaky skin.
28/28Banana
Bananas are packed with friendly antioxidants that get to work on replenishing the skin’s natural texture. Mash one banana and apply it as a face pack for 30 minutes before rinsing it with water at room temperature.
Dry skin will not be a problem anymore!
