How to mosturize dry skin?

i have dry skin , ihave tried more than way to mosturize it and i had fail . plzzzzz tell me what to do?

First off, make sure that you keep yourself hydrated.

Secondly, don't shower too often. I know, people think yuck. Showering washes the oils off of your skin. Use a soap designed for dry skin and don't use really hot water.

Hope that helps.

Do go for any cream and cosmetics, Just try to wash to your skin or face all the time, It will help with your problem.

Try to check your lifestyle or diet. If you smoke, it's one of the reasons you have dry skin. Eating unhealthy food can also cause dry skin.

Are you oil dry or water dry, which is common in dry climates, often mistaken for dry skin and usually referred to as 'dehydrated.' If you live in a humid or not too dry climate, Sodium Hyaluronate or Hyaluronic Acid is an awesome ingredient to treat both oil dry and dehydrated skin. It is already present in you're body and can hold thousands of times it's own weight in water. It pulls moisture from the air and binds it to your skin. Lactic Acid can also help with dry skin by gently breaking up any gently removing dead skin cells which in turn will allow better product penetration too.

Make sure you are nor using harsh cleansers that remove all the oil and strip your skin!

There are several other great hydrating/moisturizing ingredients. What kind of climate are you in and do you know what kind of dryness you're experiencing?

Hi Cristin, I think that this information is very helpful and it could really help me because I have pretty dry skin. Do you know of any lotions that happen to have these compounds in them? I think it would help me out to know. Thanks!

This will sound weird, but i use straight up olive oil, right out of the bottle. I don't glob it on but i pour a little in my hands and smooth it over my legs and arms and anyplace else that needs a drink. I have been doing this for about 6 months now and my skin is as smooth as a baby's little butt. After i shave my legs and put the olive oil on, my legs feel like glass and they shine so pretty. I don't put it on my face or any sensitive areas just in case i should ever react to it. But so far so good, for me anyway.
My husband says that we need some tomatoes and a head of lettuce and i would be the yummiest salad he ever ate

Bluedog - there are a ton of products out there that could help you. Can I mention specific brands on the site? I can't remember....lol. Shoot me a message and I would be happy to make some recommendations.

As for the olive oil, there is a company that makes a fantastic olive oil 'pre' face wash that is simply amazing for any skin type, even acne prone skin, because it removes the 'yuck'! They also make a great olive oil moisturizer. I would personally be too afraid to put straight olive oil on my face, but that is just my skin-fanatic quirkiness coming out! I don't see anything wrong with it it all!

Oh no, i don't use the olive oil on my face at all. I am afraid that it may clog up my pores and cause break outs. I have been using it "straight up" and it seems to have made a hugh difference. I use it probably twice a week.

I have really really dry skin aswell, And I found what works for me is Clean and Clear Dual Action Moisturizer! And I've tried EVERYTHING! and that seems to work!
