Does anyone have any suggestions regarding
extemely dry skin. Have tried using
very rich moisterizers but wonder if there
is any internal supplement that would help
or even perhaps incoporating olive oil
into the diet every day. Everything else
seems to be under control.

I Have a Possible Remedy. Posted: 04-15-04 16:46pm
If you believe in alternative medicine,
then follow this. If not, you don't have
to. Its just a suggestion.
There are 12 tissue salts in homeopathic
medicine. They say these salts are found
in every cell in the body and when the
balance of any one salt is disturbed, the
body shows symptoms of sickness.
One cell salt, nat mur (sodium chloride)
is responsible for distribution of water
throughout the body. Lack of this salt
leads to over dry skin in some parts of
the body. Also another symptom is a
craving for salty foods.
Nat mur is available in health food
stores. Costs under $10 and is worth a
try.
No possible side effect and a possible
cure for your problem.
Good luck....
If you do try it and it works, let me
know....
Try burt's bees apricot baby oil mixed
with vitamin e oil from pharmacy or health
food store. (do 2/3 baby oil 1/3 e oil)
it is amazing, especially around eye area.

a Question Posted: 04-19-04 13:02pm
Hey holly, I have been burning the
midnight oil. Been going to bed around 4
am and getting 5 hours sleep. Also been
smoking now and then.
I am starting to develop a slight circle
under my left eye.
Did you try this remedy (baby oil and vit
e) yourself and did it do something for
the eye area?
Thanks for the tip!

hi there!
I get dry and cracked heels and also dry
elbows that hurt even when nothing is
touching them. So far i've found the only
thing that works for me is olive magic. I
put it on once to twice daily. I'm very
happy with it. It has only olive oil and
beeswax and smells mildly of beeswax.
Here's the link: http://www.Olivemagic.Com.
P.S.
Meant to add that baby oils contain
synthetic mineral oils and seem to make
the skin just as dry, in the long run.
Look for pure, plant based baby or massage
oils;
Buxom.

I have 2 suggestions:
Vanicream: My dermatologist recommended
it for very dry skin. It's a thick cream
and has no additives. The only place I've
been able to buy it is behind the counter
at Sam's Club Pharmacy. But you do not
need a prescription.
Sweet Almond Oil: Yes this is an oil, but
I love how soft it makes my skin feel. It
can be purchased at a health store as a
massage oil. However, I get mine at a
better grocery store from the cooking oil
area. I like that one due to it's purity.
As a matter of fact, Sweet Almond Oil is
used as a basis for many lotions and
creams. It also makes for a great
lubricant for sex.

I use a product called midlife ease by
Jarrow Formulas. I have used every topical
treatment out there from drug store brands
to natural products to prescription
products. None worked and most aggravated
the situation and make it worse. I did my
research and came to the conclusion that
the itch was hormonal and tried this
product. Works like a charm. I am now itch
free and have more lotions, moistuizers,
creams and potions than I can use in my
life time!
