Dry or flaky skin is normally seen mostly
during the winter season. It can appear either on the face or different
parts of the body. Depending on the cause, dry skin can seem to be
flaky, scaly, peeling or even sore. But it is not necessary that it can appear only during the winters. Dry skin can also be the result of many other factors.
The
cosmetics and soaps you use can make your skin dry, and the ageing
process can cause skin to become dry because the sebaceous glands become
sluggish with age. Some other causes can be due to climate changes,
certain medications, contact dermatitis, peri-oral dermatitis, makeup
and cosmetics, seborrheic dermatitis, etc. For some, this can be
chronic and for some, this can be easily treated if you put in some
effort in taking care of your skin. If it is chronic, it's better to
seek medical help, otherwise some natural home remedies and tips will
help you in treating flaky or dry skin easily.
Tips To Follow for Dry Skin
Do Not Stand Under The Shower For A Long Time
Excess
bathing leads to stripping off of the natural oils from our skin. This
may leave our skin dry and flaky. It is recommended not to stand under
the shower for a long time, as the skin may lose its moisture. Maximum
recommended time is 10-15 minutes.
Exfoliation
Exfoliation
is very important in keeping the skin hydrated and moisturised. Proper
exfoliation prevents the skin from drying. Make sure that you exfoliate
your skin using a scrub, twice or thrice a week. However, over
exfoliation can lead to further damage of the skin.
Drink Water
Keeping
the skin moisturized from the outside is not enough to get rid of flaky
skin. You can prevent your skin from becoming dry by keeping your body
hydrated. And this happens only if you drink water and keep your body
hydrated. So, make sure that you drink enough water in order to prevent
flaky and dry skin.
Use Lukewarm Water
Avoid
washing your face with hot water, since it strips away all the
essential oil present on your skin, which is important in keeping the
moisture in place. Instead, you can wash your face with lukewarm water.
This will keep up the moisturisation of the skin and can help you to get
rid of flaky skin.
Do Not Scratch
Avoid scratching on
the dry area of your skin. This can further cause irritation to the skin
and may also start bleeding. Try applying a cube of ice over the
affected area if it is itchy. This will help you to reduce the redness
and itchiness of the skin.
Choose Your Sunscreen
Sunscreen
is an essential and must-have product with you at all times. But be
careful while choosing your sunscreen. Always go for sunscreens that
have olive oil or aloe vera as a base. This will help you in keeping
your skin hydrated.
Use A Humidifier
Using a humidifier
is recommended if it is winter season. Generally, your skin gets dry
during this season. So, use a humidifier at home to keep up the moisture
of your skin. You can do this before going to bed every night.
Some Home Remedies to follow for Dry Skin
Petroleum Jelly
This
is the easiest way to get rid of flaky and dry skin. Just apply some
petroleum jelly on the skin or wherever the affected area is. Gently
massage and leave it. You can do this before going to bed every night
and in the morning as well. Petroleum jelly is the best natural
moisturizer available.
Almond Oil
Almond oil has several
beauty benefits whether for the skin or hair. Just apply some almond
oil on your flaky skin and gently massage. You can also use it with aloe
vera for better and faster results. Mix 1 teaspoon of aloe vera and 1
teaspoon of almond oil and apply it on your skin.
Apply Ice
At
times, the inflammation on your skin can turn out to be red and itchy.
This causes further irritation and so, you can easily prevent this using
ice cubes. Cover the ice cube in a towel and rub it over the dry and
flaky area. Make sure that you do not apply the ice directly on the
skin, as it can cause more damage to the skin. You can try out this
remedy twice a day.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is rich in
fatty acids, making it an effective moisturizer, and it gets absorbed
quickly. It helps to even out the skin tone and calms down any redness
on the skin. It also helps in making the skin soft and radiant. Apply
some coconut oil every day on your skin and see the magic.

by Dan Edmund Even if you don’t like basketball, it’s very possible you have heard of a man named Yao Ming. He is a Chinese born professional basketball player who played for the Houston Rockets. While that may not sound all that impressive, the thing that really sets him apart is the fact that he is 7 feet 6 inches tall! That’s not a typo. He is really that tall! The great thing is that when Yao Ming is out on the basketball court, he is surrounded by other really tall basketball players. Granted they aren’t as tall as him, but they come within at least a foot of his height. When he’s out and about in the real world though, that’s when you notice a big difference. Here are 46 pictures that show Yao Ming making everyone around him look as small as an ant! 1. 2. Yao Ming and a baby elephant. 3. Yao Ming next to his trainer, kneeling.
