How To Treat Dry Skin

Before using any home remedy for dry skin is to stop using SOAP! It doesn't matter if you have normal, dry, or oily skin nobody should ever use soap. Your facial cleansers should always be pH balanced. This means that your facial cleanser cream should have a pH that measures around 7 which is neutral.

Normal healthy skin has a pH range from 4 to 6......not too acidic or not too alkaline. And your facial cleanser cream should also be within this range. At this level, the acid mantle - which is the skin's protective barrier- is in good condition and can protect the skin from damaging elements of the environment like sun, wind, and bacteria.
