12. Natural Remedies To Get Rid Of Dry, Rough Skin
1. Aloe Vera
Aloe vera contains high quantities of plant collagen, which helps heal the skin. It’s most effective form is pure aloe vera gel, which you can buy or extract from aloe vera leaves. Using aloe vera gel for stretch marks is similar to using a face mask; it needs to be left on the skin, ideally, for about an hour or two to absorb, so that you might see full benefits of the treatment, before rinsing it away with water. Doing this regularly will moisturize the skin and speed up its healing process.
2. Clean your Skin
It’s important to clean off any makeup, dirt, grease, food residue, or whatever else may be on your face. The oil cleansing method is a great way to wash your face, since it naturally cleans and dissolves the bad oils on your skin, without drying out the delicate facial skin.
3. Change your Products
You may need to change the products you use, according to changes in your skin or the time of year. In colder months, you may to switch to a richer moisturizer. In summer, you should use one with an SPF. If you have combination skin, it may be necessary to use a lighter moisturizer on the parts of your skin that gets oily (like your t-zone) and a heavier one where your skin gets dry.
Be careful when choosing a facial or body cleanser, as some cleansers can strip moisture from the skin. Opt for a gentle cream or milk cleanser that will moisturize the skin as it cleanses. Also try to stay away from heavily-fragranced cleansers as the chemicals behind scents can be drying
4. Drink up
While staying hydrated hasn't been scientifically proven to reduce wrinkles, experts say it certainly can't hurt.
