I Always Have Dry Skin? Any Suggestions to Make It Stop Posted: 09-24-05 15:38pm
Hi
i have a skin problem
every day when I wake up, or take a
shower. I have very dry skin on my chest
and stomach area.
I then put cream by the company lush that
has natural products and is aimed for dry
sensitive skin. The dryness goes away,
but at the end of the day my skin is very
dry, itchy and very rouch. I also get
red spotches on the right side of my chest
because of the dryness.
I was wondering if you can suggest how to
make my dry skin get better? Any creams,
any vitamins. Any suggestions will be
great.
I am thinking that I might have diabeties
because of my dry skin, since it is a
symptom. I think I might have eczema.
Please help

I have a similar problem and have recently
begun taking flax oil (or flax seed oil)
pills. You can find them at any health
food store or gnc. Flax oil is a natural
omega 3 that lowers cholesterol, prevents
heart attacks, and improves skin problems
(especially dry skin). My skin has been
much improved since I started taking it a
week and a half ago.
Good luck!

That's weird. Most of my dry skin is
either on my face or legs.
Try using a non-fragrance, non-soap
moisturizer. I've changed to dove for
sensitive skin, and you won't believe how
it saved my skin. My skin never breaks
out anymore, and my skin on my legs look
better.

Vitamins for healthy skin are vitamin c,
e, a, k , a b complex and fish oil (omega
3).
A good topical for dry skin is emu oil, it
contains:
vitamin e an anti oxidant and healing
agent
vitamin a a known skin repairer
terpines an antiseptic
sapogens skin softener
oleic acid a skin cell regenerator and
preserver
it forms a protective barrier on the skin
to prevent additional moisture less, I put
it all over my body and my skin feels as
smooth as a baby's bottom and looks very
healthy, amazing stuff.

1st thing is is that you might talk to
your dr if is that serious, whaat I used
to do if I was still having that problem
is to take some baby oil baths which
seemed to help.
Good luck!

I looked up the information on lush, and
saw in their ingredients listing that they
include "perfume" in their products.
Perfume or fragrance refers to a
chemically created fragrance, and is most
often the source of irritation when
someone says "i tried xyz product and am
allergic to it..." so....This "natural"
product might be doing you more harm than
good!
Also, I was just recently told that the
hotter the shower you take, the more
likely you are to have dry and itchy skin,
so maybe lowering the temperature of your
shower would help? (if that's an issue)
