Single-Item Solutions for Dry Skin

Even though winter has officially ended, it’s still pretty darn chilly around here! And I have to admit that the cold weather is making my skin feel extra rough, especially my arms, legs, and elbows. Are you feeling the same way? Then whip the dry patches into shape before you start baring more skin this spring with a one-ingredient solution that’ll have you feeling moist and dewy in no time at all:

·        Avocado—mash it up and apply it to your skin, then rinse it off with warm water after 20 minutes.

·        Baby oil—add a drop or two to your bathwater.

·        Buttermilk—massage it into rough skin once or twice a day.

·        Honey—smooth some on your face, leave it on for 20 minutes or so, then rinse with warm water.

·        Petroleum jelly—smear it on very dry skin before climbing into bed.

And don’t forget to drink lots of water! The more water you drink, the more moisture is available to keep your skin soft.
