Home Remedy for Itchy, Red, Dry Skin

Living with itchy, red, dry skin can be very annoying. Finding an effective home remedy for such a condition is also extremely difficult. Most lotions and moisturizers are formulated ineffectively and will not do anything to help your dry, itchy red skin.

Most moisturizers and lotions are just a combination of the following ingredients:

Water
Mineral Oil or other nut derived oils
Beeswax or Paraffin
Lanolin

If you've been using a lotion on your dry skin to alleviate the itching or dryness, and it hasn't been working, chances are it contains one or more of the ingredient in the list above. Unfortunately these are the most common ingredients found in moisturizers and lotions, but they're also the most ineffective at healing your itchy, dry skin.

A better home remedy for your skin condition comes from a plant that most people already own - Aloe!

home remedy for itchy, red, dry skin You probably haven't thought of it before because it's so widely used on burns, but largely ignored for other skin issues. The truth is, Aloe is extremely effective at penetrating the skin and healing dry, itchy skin.

Aloe, specifically Aloe Barbadensis Miller, is able to penetrate the skin's waterproof surface. The healing enzymes soak deep into skin tissue, calming the skin and reducing redness and inflammation. Aloe gel then soaks up water and holds it inside your skin tissue to prevent future dehydration.

Unlike most moisturizer and lotions that just sit on the surface and can't penetrate, Aloe can. Only Aloe has the power to get into your skin and heal the damage your dry skin has caused. An added bonus to this dry skin home remedy is that it's 100% natural.

But using pieces of an aloe plant can get annoying. Not only does tearing off leaves make the plant ugly, you can also accidentally contaminate the gel while applying it to your skin. The rind of the aloe plant contains aloins that, when ruptured, can irritate your skin.

The better solution is to find an pure aloe jelly or a soothing aloe rich lotion to use on your dry itchy skin.

L'Bri Pure n' Natural is an aloe based skin care company that offers the best products for dry, itchy skin. These products are aloe based, meaning that pure Aloe Barbadensis Miller is the 1st ingredient in every skin care product. This means that there is more healing aloe in each product than anything else.

Using a combination of healing aloe and soothing botanicals, L'Bri's Aloe Rich Lotion can calm your dry skin, soothing the redness, and finally putting an end to the constant itchy feeling. This lotion is fragrance free, and available in three sizes for your convenience.

L'Bri also offers a super healing Pure Aloe Jelly. No medicine cabinet should be without this terrific home remedy!
