If you have dry, itchy skin, try applying a small amount of jojoba oil, which is a plant-derived wax known for its healing properties. Jojoba Oil has been used for centuries to treat cuts and wounds and is a natural alternative to other skin treatments which may contain harsh chemicals.

6. Sour milk? Don't just throw it away.

Use sour milk to wash your face. It is an excellent natural alternative to those harsh chemical peels which can have sometimes nasty after-effects. The Lactic Acid in sour milk helps to remove dead skin cells and leave you with a healthy glow.

7. Try the hot / cold water regime (if you can)

After your hot shower, and before shutting off the water, switch to cold water for a few seconds, and then return to hot. Repeat this for a couple of minutes and you will soon start to notice that your skin is looking better.

This ploy improves blood circulation in your skin. At first, the process might be a tad shocking and distinctly uncomfortable, but when you start to see results, you won't worry about that..

8. Very dry skin? Try mashed avocado.

Avocados are a great natural therapy for dry skin. Apply mashed avocado after bathing, rub it into your skin and afterwards wipe off the excess to prevent staining of your clothing.
