Posted by | Posted in Skin Conditions | Posted on 14-01-2010
my skin is extremely dry.
i used to take very hot showers and it was constantly spraying directly on my back while i showered and now my back VERY dry and is a lighter colour to my normal skin. when i hop out of the shower i have to moisturize my whole back other wise it feels tight and itchy, quite unbearable. when i touch it its much rougher than my normal skin. also i peel on my upper back though im not sunburnt its just skin.
Even before the hot showers my skin has always been soo dry. i have to moisturize my chest and breasts other wise they would get very dry and peel/flake
i drink heaps of water and moisturize but i wanna know if using almond oil would help or aloe vera.
we have an aloe vera plant i would like to know how i can use it to make a gel or something and how long i can store it for. i generally have very dry skin everywhere my back is just the worst. would taking vitamin E tablet also help?
oh and i am dark skinned if that has anything to do with it
