Tea tree oil is very drying and normally used for antiseptic purposes. A non-scented soap is a good start but I would suggest a superfatted handmade variety. Superfatted with extra skin loving oils or butters- shea butter, avocado, cocoa butter, etc. A pure castile bar soap is a good choice if it is made with olive oil. Don't bathe in hot water and moisturize after towel drying. A lot of lotions on the market contain too much water to really help super dry skin. A whipped body butter will be more beneficial at this point. You can make your own or buy it online. Try to find something natural and unscented unless it contains essential oils. Hope this helps, Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 That hasn't been my experience at all. I find it to be very greasy for awhile. I always put it on, let it sit for awhile, then use something to pat off the greasiness. Maybe it's the amount I use? herbal remedies , " Begum Ibrahim " <begumibrahim wrote: > > Dear Betty > Try using virgin coconut oil as your body lotion/cream.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Sameer, you may want to try an ancient and easy ayurvedic technique for this common ailment... Ayurveda reccomends daily oil massage prior to bathing. It is called Abhyanga, and is done with an oil which is suitable for your bodily constitution. There are several sites online (google " ayurveda " ) where you may discover what this constitution is, for free. It is called your " dosha " For Vata type, Sesame oil. Pitta type, coconut. Kapha type, sunflower. Almond oil is fairly neutral, and could do well with most people. Just warm the oil and massage it over your entire body before taking a shower or bath. This helps to condition the skin and retain moisture and body temperature throughout the day. I hope this helps you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Kadee - AFTER you get out of a bath/shower, while the skin is still wet, put baby oil on a washcloth and run over all skin except face. PAT dry - do't rub. I have done this for many years and can attest that it works wonders. Inexpensive and simple.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Please find Jojoba oil (technically a wax rather than an oil), which contains myristic acid, a natural anti- inflammatory - and this can be used on the skin, even around the eyes!

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 This is going to sound a bit weird, but you should try oil pulling. It has completely reversed my skin conditions and I no longer use lotion. It's simply swishing a tablespoon of oil around your mouth for 20 minutes each day, then spitting it out. It also superbly cleans your mouth and makes your teeth white. It's been practiced in Ayurvedia for thousands of years. Here are two groups doing this. On the following, please look at the " description " and the " r " for recommended messages: http://curezone.com/forums/f.asp?f=738 This group is seeing improvements with their long term skin condition: http://www.keratosispilaris.org/showthread.php?t=4335 I also have been taking a tablespoon of Udo's Oil at each meal. I believe that oil, inside and out is key to the health of your skin as well as many organs. Good luck. , " || S A M E E R || " <sameerpatole wrote: > > Recently my skin got very dry and rough due to boreing water bathing. > Does anyone has any cure n prevention for it? > > -- > ______________________________ > > Regards, > Sameer. > email: sameerpatole > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 When I worked in the Ellis- Fishelle State Cancer Hospital in Columbia, Missouri, we would place Chemo Patients,(who have the worst dry skin in the world,) in tubs of warm water with a cup or two of Medium Flake Salt. You can buy it at any animal feed store for just a few dollars for a 50 pound bag. You would think that a bath in a hyper-osmotic salt bath would dry your skin out, but, the key is the hyper-osmotic pressure of the salt water. It has a drawing effect and actually draws your natural skin oil to the surface making your skin feel soft and supple. Salt is one of the oldest remedies for skin problems in the world! Modern medicine is just now beginning to rediscover the value of salt! Sterile saline and mesalt dressings are very effective treatments for bed sores and chronic skin breakdown. If you follow-up your salt bath with application of Pure Emu Oil to your driest parts, you will see dramatic improvement in just a few days! In the winter, here in Ohio, I usually take a salt bath 2 or 3 times a week to keep the winter dry skin in check! , " || S A M E E R || " <sameerpatole wrote: > > Recently my skin got very dry and rough due to boreing water bathing. > Does anyone has any cure n prevention for it? > > -- > ______________________________ > > Regards, > Sameer. > email: sameerpatole > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 While there are any number of oils and lotions that can help with your dry skin, including hemp, avocado, grapeseed, apricot kernal, etc., it's a good idea to work from the inside out, too. Try a good essential fatty acid formula that has a combinations of oils in a capsule. If you order online, check out the Nature's Secret website and their oil formula. But I see you're in Pune, so you might check this place: Organics and Naturals, 1 Kamaljia Apartments, 1306 Shivajinagar, Bank of Baroda Lane, J.M. Road, Pune 411005 If they don't have the supplement in capsule form, I'll bet they have flax seeds that you can grind and add to your food. Flax seed oil contains the essential fatty acids that help nourish cell membranes and in turn, nourish your skin. If you haven't tried them, give them a taste...they're kind of nutty, like sesame seeds, which are also a good addition to your diet to help combat dry skin from the inside out. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Teatree is excellent for acne. You can apply it neat to the pimple (not an all over solution, just spot-treatments). It is really good for oily skin. It's an excellent anti-bacterial & anti-fungal. Another good oil for acne is Palma rosa which is a sebum balancer, although it would have to be diluted into a carrier oil or base cream/gel. Only Teatree and Lavender essential oils should ever be used neat on the skin, and even these can cause skin sensitivites if used for prolonged period of time. As with all essential oils, be aware of the quality of any product you buy. Make sure you purchase essential oils from a reputable buyer so that they are not adultered or synthetic, as this make aggravate, rather than cure the problem or create new issues.
