WAYS TO GET RID OF DRY SKIN ON THE FACE

I have the following recommendations;

Oatmeal bath

Oatmeal was traditionally used for relieving skin irritation. For instance, colloidal oatmeal contains antioxidants that feature anti-inflammatory properties for reducing irritation and itchiness. I also advise my clients to apply a skin moisturizer after the bath to keep the skin intact.

Apply coconut oil

Coconut oil contains hydrating and smoothening effects on the skin. It has structures that fill the spaces in skin cells, leaving a smooth surface. Simply apply it on your dry face every day, and you will be impressed by the outcome. You can also use it on sensitive skin areas, including beneath the eyes or mouth.

Petroleum jelly

A study demonstrated that petroleum jelly can brighten skin among the older population. It works by retaining moisture in the skin, helping relieve dryness, patches, and irritation.

Using the acquired academic and professional experience, I advise patients with various complaints about mental health - depressed mood, nervousness, lack of energy and interest, sleep disorders, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and anxieties, difficulty concentrating, and stress. In my free time, I love to paint and go on long walks on the beach. One of my latest obsessions is sudoku – a wonderful activity to calm an unease mind.
