10 Natural Dry Skin Remedies You Can DIY at Home
Sometimes we don’t pay much attention to caring for our skin, even though it’s the largest organ in the body. Skin suffers from dryness due to winter weather, hot showers and vigorous scrubbing with a towel when we dry ourselves.
You don’t have to head out to buy expensive lotions and potions to rehydrate your skin – your kitchen may already contain all the ingredients you need. Natural remedies are also better for your skin, as they don’t contain all the extra chemicals that manufactured skin creams have in them.
Here are 10 simple and all-natural remedies for dry skin:
1. Olive Oil Cleanser
Olive oil works as a natural cleanser and moisturizer. All you need to do is rub the oil on your skin and drape a warm, damp cloth over your face until it cools. Wipe away any excess oil and you’re done. Olive oil is a good choice for a skin cleanser because it doesn’t strip away your skin’s natural oils.
2. Rich Avocado Mask
The creamy richness of avocado works well to soothe dry skin. We suggest pureeing half an avocado and mixing it with a teaspoon of olive oil. If your skin is very dry, add a tablespoon of honey too. Apply the mask and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. For an extra moisture boost, apply your regular moisturizer after you have removed the mask.
3. Olive Oil and Sugar Scrub
This combination makes a great exfoliating scrub with moisturizing benefits. Mix half a cup of sugar with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. You can also add an essential oil, such as lavender, to give a soothing fragrance.
Rub the mixed ingredients into your skin, and then wash off. Apply a moisturizer to double up on the benefits of exfoliated skin.
4. Oatmeal Bath Soak
Add a cup of oatmeal to a warm bath, and enjoy the benefits of rehydrated skin. The oat product has skin-soothing properties, and it also helps your skin to retain moisture from the water.
5. Homemade Oatmeal Honey Mask
Oatmeal also makes a good mask or exfoliator. Mix 2 tablespoons of oats with a tablespoon of honey and a dash of water. Gently warm the mixture, then rub it onto your skin. It can be used as an exfoliator and washed off straight away, or you can leave it on for around 15 to 20 minutes as a hydrating mask.
6. Coconut Oil
Coconut oil isn’t just useful in the kitchen – use it as a moisturizing cream at bedtime. Because it is solid at room temperature, it can be applied easily. If you have chapped hands and feet, apply the oil, then cover with thick socks or non-latex gloves.
7. Add Oil to Your Bath
Natural oils such as olive, coconut, argan and avocado oil can be used as a bath soak to moisturize skin and protect the natural skin barrier, which is often stripped away by washing with drying soaps that remove the natural oils from the skin.
Add a few tablespoons of oil under running bath water. If you don’t fancy scrubbing the oil slick off the bath after you’ve finished, rub a small amount of oil to your skin after your bath instead.
8. Milk Compresses
Milk has natural anti-inflammatory properties, and it contains lactic acid, which works as a mild, natural exfoliant. Apply milk compresses to your skin for 5 to 10 minutes at a time. It’s great for irritated, itchy skin too, but lactic acid can sting cracked skin, so use with caution. Apply milk by soaking a washcloth in a bowl of cold milk and then pressing it against your driest, itchiest spots for a few minutes.
9. Fruit Enzyme Cleanser or Exfoliant
Fruit enzymes can really help your skin during cold weather. The alpha-hydroxy acids exfoliate the top layer of dull, dead skin cells on the face and body.
Use a pineapple, pumpkin or papaya fruit-enzyme face mask twice a week for bright skin.
10. Aloe Vera
Aloe vera gel isn’t just for treating sunburn. It can help your skin during the winter months by reducing redness and irritation due to dryness.
Some people can develop allergic contact dermatitis from aloe, so do a patch test first before applying it to a big area of skin.

Imagine Ayda having a nervous habit where she bites the dead skin off of her lips. This causes her to often have chapped lips without realizing. Fig immediately notices and instead of telling her, she always motions for Ayda to rest her head in her palm, and Fig applys the chapstick for her ♡
#this is 100% self projection because i have issues with biting the skin off my lips and having chapped lips#ive gotten into the habit of applying chapstick 20x a day tho so im fine#figayda#figueroth faeth#fig faeth#ayda aguefort#d20#dimension 20#fantasy high#d20 fantasy high#dimension 20 fantasy high

sorry to have become this person in my proper adulthood (nearing 30) but i looked out at the beautiful sunshine this morning and was like "sure it's 41F with a stiff breeze but if i dress warm i bet i could do yoga outside and be fine" and i did and it ruled i felt spiritually cured of all malaise and physically renewed. the hat i chose to keep my ears warm could be improved upon
#next time however. i must put lotion on my face before i go outside#my skin was so chapped lmao#babbles#also because i'm a monster i did take a glass of ice water with me#into 41F weather. as you can imagine the ice lasted a long time

ive been reading lots of alien books lately and was inspired to make my own alien character. His name is Isses Vigzi 👽
#my apologies for the assless crotchless cowboy chaps#but i think his species is gonna be like agender#reproducing through other means? like growing themselves in tubes or something#ive only decided on appearance not story and world#his lights change depending on his mood#yes i was inspired by a certain alien ive been obsessed with recently#i think his home planets biome is kinda deserty#he has no mouth and he must sc#he probably absorbs water through his skin or something#food? idk#havent heard of her#ill iron it out later but aesthetically it looked weird to put a mouth on him#tall boi#excuse my crude human#the other headshot were test to see alternative horn types#but i discarded that one#my ocs#my art

see, the full headshave is the most desirable to me, but also it runs the risk of making me look like a downtrodden 1800s woman who had to sell her hair to a wig-maker in order to afford simple victuals
#winter has gifted me the usual sickly pale skin/dark eyebags/chapped lips combo#i worry that a buzzcut would really emphasise those

hoshino’s racism is especially insidious because she literally frames the noah as dark-skinned evil world-ending aliens who are genetically predisposed to violence. although she does technically have other dark-skinned characters, she still draws them as caricatures (DESPITE going through a massive art style change halfway through), makes them conform to racial stereotypes (socalo/jeryy), or makes them the butt of a joke FOR their nonwhite features (the dopp twins). the only respectfully done dark-skinned character she has that i can recall is marie, and he was whitewashed to hell in hallow
#its just very surprising that i havent seen anyone discuss her racism whether it be#her inability to color dark skin or draw nonwhite features or her characterization of brown characters#bc tyki is weirdly promiscuous and flirtatious in the beginning even toward children??#(par for the course in terms of hoshinos sense of humor and treatment of minors though)#and even road becoming more sexualized in her outfits and behavior in recent chaps despite being a school aged girl

I'm feeling so accomplished about this, it's almost kinda sad
#Ascending to a higher plane of something or other#Padstitching babeyyyy#Also this involves poking yourself in the finger with a needle somewhat intentionally#Which pairs great with the skin there already being cracked and chapped from a teensy bit of eczema
