For the short term I’m going to give you tip that will absolutely work. After you get some immediate relief we’ll talk about products you will need to keep dry itchy skin from returning.

Many people with dry itchy skin try to get relief by reaching for Vaseline or a cold cream type product thinking it will help them. Little do they realize it’s going to make their problem worse due to some of the harsh chemicals used in the ingredients. Many of these products contain petroleum and alcohol as the main ingredients. Alcohol for one will actually make your condition worse because it is a drying agent. It is used by many brand name companies because it’s cheap. As for petroleum, long term usage has been linked to cancer.

When you apply products with these ingredients directly onto your skin it is immediately absorbed into your bloodstream. Have you ever noticed when you use these types of products that you get some temporary relief and then your dry itchy skin is even worse a little bit later? That’s because while the product is moist, it provides temporary relief but after a few minutes the cheap chemicals used start to irritate your skin making it worse! Not a very good remedy for dry skin care.

Part of a good dry skin care program will include the use of products the use natural plant based ingredients in the right concentrations. Many of the brand name products that claim to get rid of dry itchy skin say they use natural products. However when you examine the label you’ll find that they are used in such small trace amounts that they will not do you any good. Because of the harmful chemicals also contained in the product it negates any benefits.

A quality dry skin care product will use the best plant based ingredients such as natural Vitamin E, avocado oil, macadamia oil, jojoba wax, manuka honey which comes from New Zealand, and grape seed oil. There are other ingredients, but I think you get the picture. You also want to be sure that the ingredients mentioned come in a concentration of at least 50% to do the most good.

How To Get Short Term Relief

There is a common food item in your home that will give you almost immediate relief. If you’re in a hurry reach for your bottle of olive oil. Use a dab on the affected area. A little goes a long way. This is an old dry skin care remedy that works. Use it until you find products for the long term like the ones mentioned above. Olive oil will not harm your skin and it’s much cheaper than those brand name products that don’t work.

In conclusion use olive oil in small amounts on the area with dry itchy skin until you find the right plant based products to solve your problem so that it does not return. This is a dry skin care program that works
