Remedy dry skin
*Drink lot's of milk.
*Eat fresh fruits, salad & green vegetables.
*Before bathing with hot water apply oily cream or oil on body properly. 
*Stop the use of soap.
*Apply the water melon juice on your face properly once a week. Keep it on your face for 15-20 minutes. Wash your face with cold water.
* Astringent lotion damages the dry skin.
*Daily exercise increases the blood circulation of your body. It is beneficial for the skin.
*If you're over the age of 50 or work outside, you may find yourself with dry and itchy skin. Choose a moisturizing cream rather than lotion to replenish your skin's moisture levels and reduce the itch.
*It could be that antihistamine you're taking. Antihistamines "dry up" your nose but it can also have a drying effect on your skin and hair. Remember to moisturize often and try using a moisturizing conditioning mask on your hair.
*Your skin changes, getting drier and less elastic, so changing your skin care products to suit your skin just makes sense. You will probably find your favorite skin care line has alternatives that will suit you.
*The drop in estrogen levels can lead to drier skin, increased wrinkles, loss of elasticity and reduced collagen production (causing the skin to be "looser"). If you're going through menopause, you may need to change your skin care routine. Talk to your doctor or dermatologist for advice.
*Try a lipid-free cleanser - a liquid cleanser that does not contain any fat. Usually applied to the skin and then wiped away or rinsed off with water, this type of cleanser will leave a very fine moisturizing film on the skin. Lipid-free cleansers are appropriate for those with older, drier skin.
*A good moisturizing cream or lotion will not only prevent moisture loss from your skin's deepest layers, it will also protect your skin from the harsh effects of wind, cold and sun.
*Avoid washing dishes by hand, use cotton gloves when doing housework to minimize your contact with potentially irritating cleansers, and take off your rings before cleaning as they can trap moisture and soap.
*If your hands are dry soak your hands in warm water, dry them partially, apply a thick moisturizer and pull on a pair of light cotton gloves. You should notice a significant improvement in the look and feel of your hands and nails if you continue this routine for seven to ten nights.
*Sebaceous or oil glands are mainly found on the face. Because there are very few sebaceous glands on the arms and legs, it's important to regularly moisturize these parts of the body, particularly during the winter or if you live in a dry climate.
*Try adding a few spoonfuls of olive oil to your bath water. It will help to moisturize your skin and leave it feeling soft and smooth.
*Put some moisture back into the air by using a humidifier in your home or office. It will counteract the drying effects of indoor heat.
*With the cold, harsh, dry winter, using mild cleansers on the skin will help prevent against dry, itchy skin.
*Try showering or bathing every other day instead of daily. This will help your skin maintain the oils that are so essential to great-feeling skin.
*Cracked heel: Apply a thick salve, emollient or petroleum jelly to your feet before bed and slip on a pair of socks. After a few nights of this routine, you'll see noticeable improvements.
*The humidity on a plane can reach as low as 1% humidity on long flights and it can take just a 3 hour flight to sap all the moisture from your skin and hair. So stay hydrated during and after your flight, limit your intake of coffee and alcohol - they just make things worse, carry your moisturizer in your hand luggage to slather on mid flight and before you deplane, splash your face with water and follow by your moisturizer.
*Applying moisturizer after shaving will keep your skin feeling soft and supple.
*Don't take long, hot baths because this can exacerbate dry skin in the winter months. Instead try short, lukewarm baths or showers. When you get out of the shower, gently pat dry your skin and then moisturize right away.
*After soaking in the bath, try using a blade to gently remove the toughened skin of calluses and corns. A pumice can encourage the skin to thicken further because of the friction. Follow up with a moisturizing lotion.
