This article lists the top ten homemade beauty tips for dry skin.

1. Cleansing Oil:

OIL has cleansing properties that are extremely beneficial to dry skin. Applying castor OIL to dry skin repairs the damage caused to it in winter. Mixing together 3 parts of olive oil and 1 part of castor oil and applying this mixture over your face helps repair the flaky skin. Warming the oil beforehand makes it more effective. 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.

2. Honey Pack:

This mixture can be applied every morning before taking a bath and then washed of.

4. Chocolate Pack:
