For Dry skin

[Guest guest]

Here's what worked for me. You must drink lots and lots of water and

keep a humidifier in your bedroom at night (to check if you're getting

enough humidity......40-50% is good...........you can buy a thing that

measures humidity.....it's a little strip with a magnet, don't remember

where I got it). Dry skin is skin without moisture. Also, a company

called Thayers in the U.S. makes some wonderful, natural sprays for dry

throat. The website is thayers.com. I also take showers only every

other day (I live in Maryland on the East Coast, it's very cold and dry

here now), but I do wash my face every night with a natural non-drying

soap.
