How to Get Rid of Dry Irritated Skin

Dry, irritated skin may be caused by many factors. Exposure to air conditioners, dry weather and dry environments may be a cause, as well as age and dehydration. Whatever the reason, it is important to remember that the health of the skin is caused by both environmental and internal factors. Therefore, both may need to be looked at in order to successfully rid yourself of dry, irritated skin.

Instructions

1. Drink eight to twelve cups of water daily. This will hydrate your skin from the inside out. Adding a squeeze of lemon juice to each cup will assist in removing toxins from the liver. That will also help to cleanse your skin of impurities.

2. Exfoliate to remove dead cells. Use chamomile flowers to exfoliate your skin or a face washer with chamomile essential oil. This will assist in removing dead skins cells while soothing and healing your skin at the same time.

3. Soak in bath that contains olive oil. Olive oil is extremely soothing to the skin, and it will help soften and moisturize it. You can add raw oatmeal, chamomile flowers or essential oil to help heal and soften the skin.

4. Apply moisturizer after the bath. Make sure you apply moisturizer to your face and a moisturizer lotion to your body daily.

5. Take Vitamin E supplements. Drink aloe vera juice. Both of these are extremely healing and regenerative to the skin. They may also be applied directly onto the skin to heal dry skin, rashes and irritations. Having healthy doses of both Vitamin A and Vitamin B is also essential to healthy skin. A multivitamin supplement can be taken to ensure you get the recommended daily dose of both.
