Treating Dry Skin
Very often dry skin is a result of a vitamin B deficiency. If you suffer from a dry skin try products that contain any of the following ingredients: goat’s milk, wholegrain rice, sunflower seeds, sprouted seeds, yeast, bran or oats.
If you like trying home made skin care recipes, try one this solution – Geranium Cleansing Balm. To prepare our balm you will need following ingredients:
Heat 75ml of olive oil and 10g of beeswax in the top of a double-boiler until melted. Put twelve fresh scented geranium leaves in the bottom of a sterilized, heatproof glass jar. As soon as olive oil and beeswax are melted, pour them over the geranium leaves. Seal the jar and leave it for 3 weeks. After 3 weeks take everything out and reheat in a double-boiler. Gently remove the leaves and wait until our mixture is cooled down. Add 10 drops of geranium essential oil.
Important Tip
Is it ok to use soap if I suffer dry skin ?
No, any product containing detergents should be avoided by people suffering from dry skin as they wash away the natural lipids that help your skin retain hydration. If you have dry skin do not use products that create bubbles, especially blue bath, search for non-foamy products such as La Roche Posay Lipikar.
