Besides moisturiser, what is the best natural remedy to combat dry and itchy skin?
Something that helps with dry skin is to take a supplement that includes Vitamin E, B vitamins (1-12), and Omega 3 fatty acids. These are vitamins that are very important in maintaining skin heath and vitality. These are also vitamins that are commonly deficient in the diet. I would suggest a high quality multi-vitamin and fish oil capsules. Adding these will improve the overall quality of the skin in the long term.





In the short term, you can apply baby oil to your skin after you get out of the shower while you are still wet. Then gently blot off the excess water. This will lock in the moisture
