With Effective Dry Skin Treatments Now Square Up Winters

As winters start, you see loads of television commercials of skin moisturizers and body lotions. We actually get influenced by these commercial ads and add them to our shopping list. But very few of these products give you the skin you want in winters, the rest just tail the effect off in an hour or so. So, why waste money on these junks? Let’s try some effective dry skin treatments at home that won’t burn a hole in your pocket and give a baby soft glowing skin. Oh yes, I have dry skin problem too and I have tried all these remedies myself and found them amazing.

Honey – Honey is well known for its antibacterial properties and its use in different cooking recipes but this easily available ingredient in your kitchen can make your dry, rough patchy skin smooth and velvety.

To make moisturizing cleansing milk with honey, mix 2 tablespoon of olive oil or almond oil with half tablespoon of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of honey. This natural cleansing milk not only cleanses your face, also helps to lock the moisture and heal the dryness. The remaining mixture can be preserved for up to 1 week.

Done with cleansing? Let’s make a mask with honey and banana. The banana is highly moisturizing whereas honey locks the moisture which makes the perfect combination for a deep nourishing face pack. Mash half a banana and add 3 tablespoon of honey in it. Blend it to make a fine paste and apply onto your face. Keep this for about 30 minutes. Rinse with plain water. You will forget the dry face and experience a silky hydrated skin.

If you suffer from extremely dry skin or have dry patches on the face, just take 2-3 tablespoon of honey and heat it for about 30 seconds. Apply this on your face. Keep it for 15-20 minutes and wash with normal water. You can use this remedy on other areas of the skin as well.

Fresh Cream – Tired of trying different cold creams?  Try this simple tip . Apply some fresh cream on your face and leave for half an hour before washing it off with some mild face wash. Trust me,  no cold cream is as good as fresh milk cream. This won’t even make your skin look sticky or dark.  I have discovered this to be the best treatment for dry skin.

Glycerin – An effective and inexpensive body lotion can be made at home with glycerin. You will need glycerin, lemon juice and some rose water for this. Mix all three things in equal proportion and that’s it. This is the best dry skin lotion I have found. Apply this on all over your face, arms and legs. Best is to apply it before bed to let it work overnight. This can be stored in a bottle for 2-3 weeks. Lemon not only works as a preservative, it also helps in reducing scars and bringing a glow to your skin. Rosewater makes the skin softer and glycerin fulfills the requirement of moisture.

See how simple ingredients can make amazing treatments for dry skin? Try them and I am sure you will come back to thank me for sharing them.
