If you are tired of trying numerous moisturizing or regenerating creams and your skin is still dry and looking dull, don't miss the following natural and home remedies to hydrate the skin and help to eliminate dryness-related problems.
1. Extra virgin olive oil
Olive oil, so popular in the Mediterranean diet, has multiple benefits both inside and outside the body. Specifically, it provides nutrition, hydration and elasticity to the skin and reduces spots and small wrinkles due to expression lines.
2. Aloe vera cream
Aloe vera is a plant that contains almost miraculous properties for much of the body. It helps heal and hydrate the skin, as well as the rest of the body. It also combats bothersome eczema that appears from the cold and irritations that give the skin a careless appearance.
How to prepare an aloe vera mask with coconut oil? With this homemade cream, you can save yourself the high costs of cosmetic creams and create your own. You only need two ingredients: an aloe vera leaf and half a glass of coconut oil.
Mix the two components until you get a homogeneous paste, and apply it in the same way as a moisturizer to relieve dry skin (no need to rinse). The product will last up to two weeks in the fridge.
3. Avocado and almond oil mask
The avocado mask with almond oil is one of the most moisturizing creams that can be made at home. To prepare it, you only need half an avocado and two tablespoons of almond oil. Mash the avocado and mix it with the oil until you get a smooth paste; apply it to your face and leave it on for 30 minutes. Then wash off with soap and water and say goodbye to dry skin.
4. White clay
White clay has soothing, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties for the skin; therefore, it helps to soothe irritation and get rid of bacteria that can contribute to the appearance of acne or blackheads.
With the white powdered clay, you can create masks that regenerate the skin and leave it soft and hydrated. To do this, mix white clay powder with water and apply the preparation on the skin, removing it after about 20 minutes.
5. The rosehip
Rosehip oil is commonly used to help tissue healing, both in cases of scars from operations or wounds, as well as to combat stretch marks or skin marks caused by acne. It is common to mix a few drops of rosehip in your usual moisturizer. In this way, you can benefit from all these properties without effort.
6. Beeswax and Olive Oil Moisturizer
Beeswax is a natural compound commonly used in natural cosmetics since, in addition to having nourishing and regenerative properties, it provides texture and consistency to creams without the need to add any artificial chemical substance.
How to prepare beeswax moisturizer? For the homemade preparation of this cream, you will need 5 tablespoons of beeswax and 6 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. First, the beeswax should be heated in a bain-marie until it melts; then, add the olive oil and mix. Remove it from the heat, and in a matter of minutes, it will solidify. Now you can apply it as a night moisturizer.
7. Drink water and stay hydrated
Lastly, and as the most important point, we must not forget the importance of hydrating ourselves from the inside to be healthy and show off beautiful skin. It is recommended to drink at least one and a half liters of water a day, both to ensure the basic functions of the body and to maintain hydrated skin.
The use of thousands of cosmetic creams is useless if the root of the problem is not attacked: the dehydration of the skin.
