How to care for dry skin

 The best remedy for dry skin is also the easiest to find: water. Drink six to eight glasses a day and eat foods high in water content, such as fruits and leafy vegetables.

Bathe in mildly salted water (1/2 cup to a tubful) to rehydrate your body.

After bath, apply a cream or lotion that will act as a moisturizer.

For an easy facial, mash a banana then add a tablespoon of honey. Smooth the mixture on your face.

After 15 minutes, rinse with warm water.

Or make an egg facial mask to moisten as well as smooth-en dry skin. Beat 1 egg then add 1/2 cup coconut oil and 1 tablespoon honey. Beat until the mixture is the consistency of mayonnaise. Set an empty toilet paper roll upright in a bowl and pack the mask into it with a spoon. Freeze overnight.

To use, peel away some of the cardboard and rub the frozen stick over your face. After 10 minutes, rinse off with warm water. After using, cover the exposed end of the stick with plastic wrap and return to the freezer.
