When the skin on your face is dry and flaky, you may try using commercially produced creams and lotions to help soothe your skin condition. However, commercial skin products can sometimes contain chemical ingredients that cause irritation in individuals with highly sensitive skin. One solution is to use natural substances to ease dry, flaky skin, such as milk and honey.
Vitamin E Mixture
- Apply an exfoliating cleanser to your face.
- Rinse with lukewarm water. Pat dry with towel.
-
Mix 1/2 tsp. of Vitamin E, 3 drops of lime juice, and 1/2 tsp. of glycerin in a bowl. Mix well.
-
Apply the mixture to your skin. Leave on for 10 minutes.
-
Rinse the mixture off with lukewarm water. Pat dry with towel.
Milk
-
Wash your skin with a non-drying facial cleanser. Pat dry with towel.
-
Pour 1/2 cup whole milk into a bowl.
-
Dip a clean, soft towel into a bowl. Gently wring out the towel so that the milk does not drip.
-
Dab the towel onto your face. Continue dabbing for 10 minutes.
-
Rinse well with cold water. Pat your face dry with towel.
Warnings
If
you experience stinging, burning, swelling or itching on your skin when
using milk and honey as a cleanser or mask, discontinue their use and
contact your doctor before reusing them. You may have an allergy to the
lactose or casein in the milk. If a milk allergy does exist, you can use
honey as a cleanser or mask on its own.
