Dry skin is uncomfortable and unsightly. It can be scaly, flaky, itchy, bumpy and drys easily. It lacks natural oils that normal skin has, or the oil doesn't stay in the skins lipid barriers long enough to keep it coated and well protected from drying out. Using moisturisers that lock in the oils keeping it hydrated, will help to improve and even heal dry skin.

Have you wondered what will help dry skin?

Many people with dry skin find that ingredients in commercially available lotions are irritating to their delicate skin. They find themselves wondering about gentle products with natural ingredients. Could natural skin care solutions help dry skin? Here are some natural cures for extra dry skin...

Aloe Vera:

Aloe Vera gel from the houseplant Aloe Vera, is a soothing lotion well known for it's cooling and healing abilities. This wonderful substance is antiseptic and anti fungal as well as being able to cool hot dry skin. The houseplant is attractive and easy to grow, but the gel is also available in many skin lotions and creams. To use the gel directly from the plant simply break off a leaf and squeeze a small amount of gel out of the broken end, or you can use a small knife to cut the outer skin of the leaf to access more of the gel. Aloe Vera is slow to go rancid, but it is best to keep the unused part of the leaf in the refrigerator and discard after a week. Aloe Vera has been found to contain ingredients that are known to stop pain and itching and it also prevents infection in cracked, raw, dry skin. If you are buying a commercially prepared lotion, what will help dry skin is to choose one that has Aloe Vera gel listed as one of the first few ingredients, many products are labeled as containing Aloe Vera, but really contain very little of it.

Amina Cosmetics™ offers two solutions rich in Aloe Vera

The Remedy - Lemon and Cucumber Juice, Vitamin E Oil and exfoliating.

We have all squeezed lemon juice on our hair during summer to get those natural blond highlights, and guess what? Lemon's gentle bleaching action works on skin, too. It is easy and inexpensive, just soak a cotton bud with freshly squeezed lemon juice and dab over acne scars, leave on for fifteen minutes before rinsing with water. Do this morning and night and you will soon get results, acne scarring becomes lighter and lighter with every treatment, becoming almost invisible after several months. Lemon juice is highly acid and can sting and dehydrate the skin, so it is important to only treat acne scarring and not unaffected, healthy skin.

Cucumbers are another natural alternative to lightening acne scars, and unlike lemon juice it is not acid so you can leave it on your skin almost indefinitely. Just squeeze a handful of diced cucumber and collect the juice, soak a cotton bud with the freshly squeezed cucumber juice and wipe over the entire face. Leave the juice to dry, ideally leave it on overnight and in the morning you will wake with soft, supple, glowing skin! And best of all, over several months of nightly treatment your acne scars will fade.

While Vitamin E is not a bleaching agent it works to repair damaged tissue and is highly regarded for it's ability to heal burns. Pure Vitamin E oil can actually burn delicate skin, so if you already own a bottle of the pure stuff just mix equal parts with Aloe Vera gel or another base cream. Vitamin E is especially effective on the most severe acne scars that are large, deep and/or raised in texture. To treat scars, apply a drop to a clean fingertip and wipe over all scars on your face, do this 2-3 times a day and you should see results within a month.

Last of all, but most importantly. You need to exfoliate your skin at least twice a week, this sloughs away dead skin cells to reveal a brighter, clearer complexion, it also helps to encourage new skin cells to grow in their place. Both of which are vital to eliminating damaged acne scar tissue for good.
