Dear Friends, I would like to inform you that Iam suffering from Dry Skin also called as xerosis. Almost 4 months in a year I suffer and I find very difficult to manage( Dec,Jan,Feb,March ). Even though this season is good in India, I avoid going out during this 4 months. I have tried all types of medicines / moisturing creams but no result. Can any one of you help to resovle this Dry skin problem. Thanks in Advance.

Don't use any perfumed soaps or body wash. :)

If you have another more severe diagnosis like exzema or psoriosis you will need a perscription strenght ointment. I say you should use some table salt or surgar because the grain in smaller with some olive oil and or grapeseed oil almond oil. Not baby oil. Use one or all the oils combined. Put salt about a coin size in your palm. add same amount of oil. scrub the dry areas well. not to much pressure but you need to remove some of the dry layers... Make as much as you need of the oil salt to treat all dry areas. Then rinse the salt/sugar away with water NO soap. Add lotion after you blot your skin dry. This is a good thing to do a few times a week.

This is a non-doctor's advice... 1. lots and lots of H2O otherwise known as water (plain water works best) 2. moisturiser, body lotion... whatever creamy paste you can slather over your skin... just do it 3. discipline to continue doing all of the above... don't expect miracle to happen, it will eventually but not entirely recover... 4. patience... enuff said refer to no.3 5. rest well... the more rest you get, the better your skin can self recover
