Dry Skin Remedies - Natural Sources

Determining the best dry skin remedies can be difficult with all of the different products on the market. Big manufacturers with deep pockets spend so much on advertising and marketing that you are bombarded with choices.

To make things easier, check your ingredient labels. Regardless of the brand, true dry skin remedies are nature based. Nature provides you with a number of effective ingredients to address dry skin problems. The following natural sources hydrate, protect and nourish. They are not listed in any particular order, other than my personal preference:

* Shea Butter - Highly effective at softening rough dry patches

* Avocado - Contains natural antioxidants and reduces inflammation while helping to heal dried out, sun damaged skin

* Cocoa Butter - Balances and locks in moisture

* Honey - Helps your skin to retain water, increasing the moisturizing effects

* Milk - Combined with honey, provides the needed moisture while giving you a healthy glow

* Hemp - Protects your skin's moisture barrier, while making it soft and supple

* Goat's Milk - A natural moisturizer loaded with beneficial nutrients. Excellent for sensitive skin

* Almond Oil - Softens and helps balance moisture while providing nourishment

* Olive Oil - Lubricates and heals damaged skin; Locks in moisture

* Coconut Oil - Prevents dry, chapped skin while also preventing premature wrinkles

* Sunflower Oil - Rich in essential fatty acids; Helps to retain moisture and fights excessive dryness

* Dead Sea Salt - Eases dryness associated with Eczema and Psoriasis

This is by no means an exhaustive list of ingredients that provide you with natural dry skin remedies. However, it is more than a sufficient amount to work with. For a true dry skin remedy, save yourself a lot of money and disappointment by looking for these natural ingredients on your body care product labels.
