When I have dry skin I use a thick moisturizer like Nivea, which is a really good line. Another quick natural remedy is a tiny bit of olive oil mixed with your regular moisturizer. It works wonders for me. I use it every other day, because I noticed the olive oil can easily clog your pores and cause breakouts if you use it too often. Hope this helps.

I agree with the olive oil - I never tried it until a few weeks ago. Palmer's makes a pretty good product with olive oil called Palmer's Olive Butter. (you can read my review at that link)
I would gess it's ok to spot treat with the oil...
The top of my nose and forehead above the bridge of my nose are always dry. I've tried heavy moisturizer but never oil. Are tose ok places to spot treat?

You can use Nivea moisturizer.. Dry skin has a low level of sebum and can be prone to sensitivity.. If your face skin is dry, try not to wash it with tap water.. Moisturizer is much more effective on properly exfoliated skin.. Soaps can be drying.. Use creamy moisturizing cleanser that
contains glycerin or petrolatum..
Dry skin has a low level of sebum and can be prone to sensitivity. The skin has a parched look caused by its inability to retain moisture. It usually feels "tight" and uncomfortable after washing unless some type of moisturizer or skin cream is applied. Chapping and cracking are signs of extremely dry, dehydrated skin. Dryness is exacerbated by wind, extremes of temperature and air-conditioning, all of which cause the skin to flake, chap and feel tight. This type of skin is tightly drawn over bones. It looks dull, especially on the cheeks and around the eyes. There may be tiny expression lines on these spots and at the comers of the mouth.
I have very dry skin due to my low thyroid and indoor tanning. I use Roman Hemperor by Hoss Sauce. That moisturizer is the best stuff I have ever used. I used to use Supre Hempz but Roman Hemperor is much better. I will never go back to Supre Hempz. Hoss Sauce has a customer for life.
Products are sometimes ok... however it's common knowledge that the chemicals in any skin product aren't necessary. Chemicals are placed in products as preservatives, for coloring, or to maintain a texture in the lotion.
There are tons Organic products and natural products that can provide skin texture that the "formulated" chemical products cannot. a simple solution is Aloe Juice (not the gel). With Aloe Juice.. you can drink it and add to your skin to get benefits from the inside and outside.
Applying Aloe after exfoliation will also help protect the skin since it also acts as an anti microbial.
You are not alone if you have dry skin. Dry skin is a very common
problem. The symptoms of dry skin are flakiness, itch, redness, and
ashiness. There are simple steps you can take to cure, prevent and
relieve dry rough skin and enjoy smooth, soft, touchable, glowing
healthy skin.
Dehydration is the loss of water in the body, sometimes severe enough
to cause shock since the human body is composed of seventy five percent
water. To address this problem you first need to know its main cause.
Several factors like the environment, weather, health situation, or
lifestyle is making the skin dry. Some of them are easily remedied and
others will take more time and effort.
Nowadays, you see millions of Americans
that have dry skin. There are also numerous products being invented to
address this situation concerning the skin. Genetically speaking, there
is no such thing as dry skin. You may either have dehydrated skin or an
oil skin type which is also hydrated or dehydrated.
Mostly everyone is afflicted by dehydrated skin. When
you feel your skin and it is dry and tight, and your skin tone is ashen
and dull, you most probably are dehydrated.
Unfortunately, the moisturizers and treatments claiming
to alleviate dry skin do nothing to cure it. To be able to correct
dehydrated skin, a drastic change in lifestyle and environment is
required.
What does a dehydrated skin feel like? It is usually
dry to the touch, itchy, with flaky
patches and rough spots, and blotchy patches when you look in
the mirror. Your skin tone is dull and pale. The skin loses its
elasticity wherein when you apply a bit of pressure on the skin, it does
not revert back to its original state.
When you leave your skin dehydrated for a long period
of time, keratinization occurs. Take for example the feet. The skin on
the bottom of your feet is subjected to much heat, friction and dirt.
The dead skin cells that build up on the surface of your skin forms a
coat covering it, making it nearly impossible for moisturizer to reach
your skin. Your skin will further get dehydrated. Then keratinization
occurs with breakouts since your skin is badly in need of water.
Fortunately, dehydration is easily treated and is very
temporary. The skin just needs to rehydrate and vitamins given to be
able to have healthy skin.

Dry skin is usually sensitive and, since winter tends to worsen the condition,a good moisturiser for dry skin is a mixture of honey, lemon and vegetable oil,apply this mask for 10 minutes,try not to wash it with tap water since it often contains chlorine, fluoride, and other undesirable chemicals. Instead, use cold mineral water or ice made with it, or, better, clean your face with an alcohol-free cleaning lotion, toner, or cosmetic milk, made of natural ingredients,dry skin without causing irritation, while respecting its balance of moisture.

Try using silk sheets and silk pillowcases fits easily into your skin. You wake up with skin soft and smooth, even in winter. In addition, silk containing copper minerals. Copper is really necessary to create copper peptides. These can improve the production of collagen and elastin in the dermis.
Well, start drinking green tea. It has been widely accepted for its antioxidant properties, may be useful in the fight against skin damage and repair cells damaged skin. It is also ideal for cleaning skin blemishes and acne. As an antioxidant, green tea toxins harmful inhalation effort of the body and reduces the negative effects of free radicals in the body.
