Face mask for dry skin

Autumn weather is unpredictable and beautiful. But it also makes our skin more dry than in the summer. The dry air from furnaces and other heating sources also suck the moisture out of skin. What should we do to keep our skin to look beautiful and radiant ?


Its very important to maintain your skin so your skin doesn't age fast. It not only help us to achieve a better looking skin but also prepare a great base before winter comes.  There are lots of easy ways to make face masks.  You can use basic ingredients found around the house to make your own simple, hydrating masks. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, mud or clay-based masks are great for balancing out your skin. Dry skin will benefit from hydrating masks made from glycerin, honey and oils. Ginseng or green tea masks are great for soothing sensitive skin.

Today we'll concentrate on dry skin, how to keep it hydrated and moisturized in this dry weather

Drink lots of water

Drinking water not only helps you to have a better figure or maintain good health but also repair your dry skin. Remember to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Avoid soda, alcohol or coffee which can dehydrate your skin rather than help it.

Keep Water Lukewarm, Not Hot

Hot water robs skin of moisture causing dry skin, so it's best to shower in lukewarm water. Hot hot water can create wrinkle and red patches on your skin so avoid it if possible

Moisturize your face

Moisturizing is the key component to maintaining healthy, youthful skin. Moisturizers not only increase the skin's water content, but they also protect the skin and make your skin smoother. Moisturizer is the key to soft, supple skin. Apply product when skin is slightly damp. For best effect, pat skin dry instead of rubbing with your towel before application.
