Tell me how to combat dry skin...

I have had dry skin forever!

I have super sensitive skin as well :/

Do you?

If you said yes...then keep on reading.

If you said no, check out this DIY body scrub: http://tsorain.blogspot.com/2011/02/diy-body-scrub.html

Okay, so here are some things I use ... :

-Eucerin Plus Intensive Moisturizer

-Dove Beauty Bar (White)

-Jergens ultra healing lotion

-Pure and Gentle wipes

-Petroleum Jelly

-My DIY body scrub of olive oil & sugar, check it out: http://tsorain.blogspot.com/2011/02/diy-body-scrub.html

I use all these things here and there, but on a good pampered day, this is what I do:

-First, I try to cleanse well with the Dove Beauty Bar

-Then, take a good load of time to rub my whole skin with the DIY scrub

-I get out of the shower, and on my body, I slather on the Jergens Ultra Healing lotion

-On my face, the Eucerin

-Then I allow everything to soak in just a little bit, and then I apply petroleum jelly all over, to lock all that moisture, so my skin will stay soft for about 3 days!

But there is a NUMBER ONE secret to combating dry skin...:

Olive Oil.

Olive oil was used by the Ancient Romans and Greeks, and many more. They would use it has a cleanser, face mask, face moisturizer, hair mask, and even conditioner. Cleopatra used to bathe in olive oil 3 times a day to keep her skin supple and healthy.

Sometimes, instead of putting on Eucerin and Jergens, I just slather Extra Virgin olive oil all over my body. It leaves my skin amazingly smooth...for about 2 days! I also sometimes put in petroleum jelly to lock it in.

I used to use Pure Olive Oil, but then I realized that Extra Virgin olive oil has better properties and is better, so I started using that. So, try using Extra Virgin, because it is not refined, it's completely the TRUE pure. But if you can't, regular olive oil is fine also.

I hope this helps you guys!

Try experimenting with different things, but be careful also!
