The challenge with dry skin is that it doesn't always respond to lotions even when they are created for this purpose. One of the ways to make sure that your dry skin doesn't become a problem is to make sure that your body is getting the nutrients that it needs. Some of the nutrients you will want to give your body are essential fatty acids including Omega-3 Fatty Acids.

Dry Skin Moisturizer

It is a very good idea to use a moisturizer on dry skin, but it should be something that does not have oils or petroleum in it. They do not topically help dry skin as much as natural products. Some of the butters like coconut, shea or cocoa are better for the skin and they last longer as moisturizers. A good rule of thumb is to apply them after showering.

Depending on whether skin is irritated easily you may want to switch the type of soap that you use. Some of the body washes or soaps like oatmeal soap can be more soothing to dry skin than some of the harsher ones that include chemicals. For a sensitive aging skin choose natural products that are free of chemicals that may irritate sensitive skin.

Dry Skin Brushing

Another way to help dry skin is to do a dry skin brush. This is very invigorating to the skin. Take a long handled, natural bristle brush and brush your skin briskly. Do this before a shower because afterwards it will not be as effective. Brush all your skin for a healthy glow.

Remember that the skin is considered as the largest organ in the body and needs to be attended to like everything else. Following any of these tips will make your dry skin bounce back. Even when there are hormonal changes you will be able to help your skin.
