Apply cream to your face daily in the morning and wash off after ten minutes. Don't use alcohol based products. Generally toners are alcohol based, so make sure yours isn't. oil is deeply moisturising, so you can apply that to your face at night, and wash off in the morning. Keep moisturiser in your bag and keep applying it regularly. Don't apply Vaseline or any hand and body lotion, as it is not for applying on the face and the pores may not be able to absorb it, defeating the purpose. Apply only facial moisturiser. Also, once a week, apply olive oil to your face and steam it, so the pores open and the oil gets absorbed.

Dry
skin has a thin and papery texture.
It feels dry to touch and the pores are very fine. After a wash
it feels tight, as though it is too small for the face.
By midday flaky patches appear.
Hardly ever break out in spots.
• For dry skin use a
creamy cleanser to melt away dirt. Leave it on your skin before
sweeping it away with cotton wool. Splash cold water onto your
face to clean and refresh your skin. Use a thick cream
moisturiser to seal in as much moisture as possible.
• Make a puree of 1 banana and 1 papaya, peach or
avacado. Apply to skin. Leave on for at least 20 minutes then
rinse with warm water, followed by a moisturizer of natural
margarine or natural vegetable oil.
• Apply natural mayonnaise, either homemade or from natural foods store. Massage
into skin, leave on for 15-20 minutes, rinse thoroughly with warm water.
• Grate the rind of one whole lemon into 4
tablespoons plain yogurt. Mix and rub over entire body
concentrating on the driest patches. Rinse.
Create your own skin refining mask with egg whites. It's
completely natural, will tighten your pores and leave you with smooth
and refreshed skin.Or you also try the mixture of cucumber paste and honey. You will instance result.
While I agree this can help (the egg whites) I just hate the smell of eggs anywhere near my nose so I can't do this type of mask. Also, I worry about the salmonella that can be present in eggs so I hate to even touch raw eggs. Does anyone else worry about this issue?
