Out of the numerous skin types that we have, dry skin is easily the most problematic. It needs constant and regular moisturizing, and the moisturizers need to be oily enough or the skin will dry up really soon. The use of soaps on such skin also has to be monitored as soap dries the skin and hydrating face washes are the ONLY OPTION . Dry skin is especially problematic in winter when it is prone to flaking. The skin dries up and the dead layers flake off from the surface.
Most skin products that are suited for dry skin are extremely expensive because they come with fortifying OILS and added beauty benefits. Thus, homemade beauty tips and home remedies are the way to go. Not only are they cost effective, but they are also readily available, extremely efficient and reusable.
This article lists the top ten homemade beauty tips for dry skin.

After applying, take a wash cloth or a towel and warm it. Place it over the face and leave it till the oil is soaked in by the skin. This makes the skin smooth and soft. Castor oil penetrates the skin up to three layers more than any other oil.
