Our Skin is so sensitive. Just
as we need protection, our skin needs care as well. The kind of care that our
skin needs is determined by the type of skin we have. There are four types of
skin-normal, oily, dry and sensitive and each type of skin has its own
complications. Having a dry skin means experiencing tightness due to lack of
moisture and a need for a proper lubricant to re-hydrate it. Many home remedies
can help improve your dry flaky skin on face.
Beauty tips for Dry Facial Skin
Avocado Face Mask
Avocado is an excellent home remedy to treat the
dry skin as it is rich in natural oil, which can make the skin soft and smooth

teaspoons of curd along with ½ a teaspoon of honey. Put this mask on your face
or any dry part of your body. After 10 minutes, wash it off with water.
Olive oil and Egg yolk
The characteristics of the olive oil and egg
yolk makes their amalgamation a must have for those who have dry skin. Olive
oil is one of the key secret ingredients used in practices of taking care of
flaky dry skin. It is a popular natural antioxidant enriched with vitamin E and
K that works wonders when a teaspoon of it is combined with two egg yolks and
whipped together to obtain a stable consistency. The egg yolks have vitamin A
that controls the shedding of the skin and make it soft and smooth. For better
results, add a few drops of lime juice and rose water.

Moisture forms a protective layer on the skin
