Dealing with dry skin can be a real struggle, especially because it can influence the way your skin looks, feels and behaves. Dry skin can become painful after awhile and things like wearing makeup or even going out into specific weather conditions become incredibly difficult. Though the skincare industry is flush with products they claim will help those who suffer from dry skin, many of those products are unnecessarily expensive and not naturally made. Putting products on your face that contain harmful additives and preservatives is never a choice you should knowingly make. Here are some of the best natural moisturizers for dry skin.
Avocado And Honey Mask
This moisturizer is naturally anti-aging. One of the downfalls of having very dry skin is the propensity for it to lead to other signs of aging, like sagging loose skin, fine lines and wrinkles. This mask is a great weekly treatment that you can do to restore the hydration of the skin. Use completely organic honey. With equal parts avocado and honey, blend until it's of even consistency. Apply to your skin for an hour. Rinse off with lukewarm water.
Almond Sugar Face Scrub
Oftentimes ultra-dry skin is the result of built-up toxins and dead skin cells that aren't properly cleaned from the face. In order to rid yourself of these issues, you must exfoliate. This may sound incredibly harsh for those who have naturally dry skin but it ultimately will help your skin. This will allow it to perfectly absorb the daily moisture you will be giving it. Mix a half a cup of brown sugar and a half a cup of ground almonds with two tablespoons of olive oil. Apply to dry skin and rub in small circles. Rinse with cold water.
Olive Oil
This oil contains many helpful antioxidants and healthy fats that are incredibly good for the skin. It conditions and soothes dry skin that is lacking in moisture and hydration. It can be used all over the body. It can also be used in many different ways. It can be used as a daily moisturizer, by using a small portion to cover the skin in a thin layer of moisture. Make sure skin is completely clean when applying. It can also be added to homemade masks that can be used once or twice a week.
Coconut Oil
Often known as the holy grail of oil, coconut oil is great for skin that is really dry. It has a substantial amount of fatty acids within it that help to restore the natural moisture of the skin. Using it as an all body or face moisturizer right out of the shower is recommended. You can do this daily. After just a few days, you'll start to notice the obvious difference in your skin and its condition.
While dry skin is sometimes incredibly difficult to combat, you do have options that are completely centered in nature, that don't come with the added price tag of standard skin care products. Take full advantage of this list and treat your skin to the hydration that it desperately needs.
