Best Treatment For Dry Skin
Regardless if you have dry skin or not - you should stop using SOAP! Your facial cleansers should be pH balanced, which means it should have a pH range around 7 which is neutral.
Normal healthy skin has a pH range from 4 to 6……not too acidic or not too alkaline. And your facial cleanser cream should also be within this range. At this level, the acid mantle - which is the skin’s protective barrier- is in good condition and can protect the skin from damaging elements of the environment like sun, wind, and bacteria.
Home Remedies For Dry Skin - Hydrating Facial Mask
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?
Try this honey facial for dry skin. This mask will also moisturizer, exfoliate, and even tighten the skin. Your skin will look fabulous! It’s really simple - Here is all you’ll need:
- 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 an enzyme called bromelain - which help digest dead protein and skin cells).
Mix together egg yolks first, then drizzle in the honey and add pineapple (if you’re using it) and mix well. Apply this mask to your face and neck. Leave it on for 15 to 30 minutes, then rinse well. Then dry you skin consider and apply a good quality, therapeutic moisturizer to help seal in moisture. Your best choice is one that chemical free - as chemicals can dry out your skin. I use a completely organic moisturizer that contains plant essences and herbal elixirs. Want more information on organic moisturizers? Click here Home Remedies For Dry Skin.
