Best Dry Skin Remedies for the Bride

Every bride starts taking care of their health and beauty regime way before their big day’s date is even fixed. After all consistency and discipline are the keys. Here are some tips which you can follow and try out at your convenience.

1. Water Solutions

Often it is said that it is good to bath with hot water as it has good properties. And during winter we don’t even pay attention to the timings or temperature. But just like how water is important for health issues and other issues, here also it plays a vital role. When you have dry skin, try to avoid a hot water bath and drink lots of water. Hot water can dry up your skin further and irritate it more. Drinking water helps in hydrating the skin and reduces drying which can lead to itchiness and rough texture of the skin. Do not take more than 5 or 10 minutes while bathing and bath with lukewarm water. 

2. Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe vera is known to have anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties which help in fighting away dryness. Applying Aloe vera gel is one of the easiest homemade DIYs you can include in your skincare regime. While it soothes your skin, it keeps it hydrated and nourished from deep within while working on other skin-related issues as well like sunburns, aging, scars, etc. Planting an aloe vera plant is easy and you can directly use it by cutting out the gel from the spiky leaf of aloe vera. Or you can mix it with water and a few drops of essential oil of your choice to create a mask. Apply it to your skin and leave it for 30 mins before washing it away with cool water.

Every weather affects the skin differently. Winter is known as the driest season of all and that is the time when taking care of your dry skin is important.

Humidifiers seem like an expensive investment but it is worth the money as it restores the moisture level of the skin, especially during winters.
