How to treat dull and rough skin
There are
number of factors which contribute to a person’s skin looking dull or feeling
rough. Some are related to environmental factors such weather, while other
are directly related to improper care of skin. For instance, most women and men
will experience some form of rough skin in the winter months. The reason for
this is the lack of natural moisture in the air and as a result your skin tends
to crackle and develops a rough sand paper type of feel
To remedy or treat
rough skin the wisdom of the masses have develop several natural remedies
over the years which are believed to aid the skin heal and thus restore a
smoother feel. Many home made herbal remedies as well as commercial products
have been developed to treat this condition.
One of the
simplest and perhaps common sense remedies for treatment of rough skin
is to drink lots of water, at least 6-8 glasses per day. This will ensure
that the skin is kept hydrated and will not crackle or dry out. On a side note,
besides keeping your skin hydrated, water is vital for proper functioning of the
body. It is used to remove access waste from the body in other words a complete
system flush.
Remedies which
require more work to make consist of making a paste from turmeric powder and
besan (I believe this is Indian word for gram flower) using some curd milk.
Once the past is formed simply apply it to the rough skin and let it sit until
it starts to dry out and then rise it off. Yet another remedy for dry skin
consists of making a paste from soaked almond (few hours) and water.
The
effectiveness of such remedies is questionable. The reason for this is that
when you combine ingredient you are essentially forming a Medicine and as
conventional wisdom will tells us for any medicine to be effective it needs to
be comprised of the exact amount of each ingredient, not just bunch of things
mixed together. And as far as I can tell from my research, virtually every
recipe for making a natural rough skin treatment is different, so who do you
trust? If things go wrong who can you blame but yourself?
As a result of all
these uncertainties and variables one should never dismiss the idea of using
commercial treatments albeit for rough skin, acne, or any other disease for
that matter. Commercial treatment such as the
ZenMED 3 step skin care system have been tested for years for the
effectiveness both to cure the problem as well as human safety. Not to mention,
the quantity of ingredients used is exact not guess work like many of the so
called natural rough skin treatments.
Unless you are
completely strapped for cash my recommendation is that you look towards
cost effective commercial treatments such as
ZenMED Skin Care System instead of wasting your time on making your own
natural rough skin treatments. In the long run you will save time, money and
even your health from becoming worse.
