Dry skin can be painful and frustrating condition but it is important to know that the problem can actually be caused from within your body. It's very important that your body get the necessary oils it needs from supplements. Make sure to take at least 1000 mg of flaxseed oil a day.
Once you've made sure you are getting essential oils into your system through supplementation, you can also benefit from using your choice of moisturizers, including emu oil, vitamin E oil, or jojoba oil, or aloe vera. Avoid using anything with mineral oil because it is a petrochemical that can actually dry the skin, block pores, prevent it from breathing and eliminating waste. Whichever you choose, try coating your hands or feet with the oil and covering with cotton gloves or socks before going to bed. This allows the oil to soak in throughout the night to soften and mositurize the skin.
