1. Imagine you are at the supermarket and you are stressing about making a meal in a minute and how you are going to deal with your dry skin problem. Head straight to the vegetable department and grab carrots, tomatoes and any dark green leafy vegetable like spinach. Not finished here yet – stay with us!

2. Next head to the protein section and pop some eggs and oily fish in your trolley.

3. Now we know you can make a tasty treat out of all this and not only that some of these ingredients you can use in your homemade facial mask for dry skin. But why are these foods so good for dry skin?

4. The reason is because all these ingredients are rich in vitamin A, which is the one responsible for maintenance and repair of skin tissue so you need vitamin A for fresh looking skin.

5. But hang on a minute there is more good vitamin news on the way – eggs, fish and spinach also include vitamin B which is the one responsible for being the nutrient that forms the basis of all skin, nail and hair cells. Remember when we were really little everyone seemed to be making up some concoction to rub on their face and it always seem to include egg whites. They knew what they were talking about then when it came to making a homemade facial mask for dry skin, so why on earth in all this time has it taken us so long to get back to what we already knew. Quite gob smacking really.

6. Drink plenty of water! We are told so many times how drinking plenty of water is so good for us. It is excellent for our skin, so stay hydrated and not only will your skin look fabulous, it’s helps with headaches, staying alert and feeling positive.

You can also try some softening and anti-aging skin serums rich in essential fatty acids that lock in moisture maintaining plump healthy skin cells.

These serums are especially beneficial for dry dehydrated skin. They plump out skin cells making skin appear younger softer and dewier.

Make a basic serum using almond oil and rose hip oil half and half ratio. Add to this essential oils like carrot seed, lavender, neroli or frankincense to nourish and repair skin. By adding oils like tamanu and camellia oil you can stimulate cell production and therefore skin renewal.

Vitamin C rich oils like carrot seed are protective and repairing. Some oils like wheatgerm, starflower (borage) and avocado oil are very rich in vitamins like vitamin E and C, both powerful antioxidants that protect skin against premature ageing from sun, environmental and free radical damage.

There are many serums you can make to suit your specific skin type, customised for your unique skin. Once you know what to use, you can create luxurious yet low cost products for your skin. You can even make these into moisturisers with the addition of beeswax, aloe vera and water for light fluffy face and body lotions or a rich night moisturizer.
