Natural skincare tips for dry skin
Coconut oil
Coconut oil has several health benefits. This oil has emollient properties and works well for dry skin. Emollients hydrate the skin and make it smooth by filling up the gap between the skin cells.
Rose water
Rose water soothes and moisturises skin, while balancing pH levels, making it a perfect choice for dry skin. When the skin gets dry and itchy, try dabbing a bit of rose water to gently soothe the area to minimise irritation and moisturise your skin.
Petroleum jelly
Petroleum jelly is also known as mineral oil, and it has been used on the skin for many years. It forms a protective layer on the skin and traps the moisture underneath. It is very helpful to heal dry and patchy skin.
Papaya
Papaya is known for high moisturising benefits, and also brightens the skin. This enzyme-rich food is packed with nutrients that are essential to keep your skin healthy, nourished and glowing. It can also help to soothe sunburn and inflammation as well.
Rice water
Rice water is one of the best natural skin ingredients to treat dry skin. It balances the pH levels of the skin and helps retain moisture, while brightening skin, removing dullness, moisturising, and fighting signs of ageing. It can be used as a skin toner for your face and body, which will help soothe and moisturise dry and itchy skin.
Sunflower seed oil
Sunflower seed oil is another natural oil that helps skin to retain its moisture. Sunflower seed is rich in vitamin E that traps moisture inside the skin cells, and keeps it hydrated for a long time. The oil also prevents several diseases such as asthma, arthritis and triggers the cell renewal process as well.
Honey
Honey is an ideal choice to treat dry skin. It has numerous vitamins, antioxidants as well as antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. You can apply it as a face mask and rinse with lukewarm water.
Avocado
Homemade avocado masks are the best to nourish and revitalize your skin. Mash the pulp of avocado in a bowl and mix a teaspoon of olive oil and honey to it. Apply the mixture on your face, and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes, and then wash it off.
