Best Lotion for Dry Skin

Perhaps one of the most frequently asked questions' regarding skincare is what the best lotion for dry skin is, and the simple answer is, that very much depends on the individual. Each person's skin is unique therefore each person may find some lotions which work well for others aren't as effective for them as another lotion, and vice versa and so forth. It really is worth trying out different varieties of lotions until you find the best lotion for you.

Some of the best dry skin lotions may be especially formulated ones which has been factory produced to include a whole variety of the most essential ingredients all in one lotion. Dove moisturising cream, or Olay for example, are both excellent manufactured lotions which can be purchased from most stores. Moisturising is best done after bathing, and also before bed time, but particularly before going outside in the cold.

Some people may prefer more natural lotions, and there are some very good ones to try. Tea Tree oil for instance is considered by some to be one of the best natural lotions for dry skin, as it has many moisturising properties which penetrate the skin deeply, rejuvenating, healing and helping to clear dead skin cells. Tea Tree Oil is often used on athlete's foot due to its strong anti-fungal properties.

Aloe Vera is another excellent natural lotion, which if used in moderation (i.e.: a few drops into some existing lotion) can really work wonders for the skin. Milk also has many moisturising properties which make it an ideal choice to treat dry skin. Try applying milk to the area affected by dry skin and leaving for 10 minutes before washing off.
