Dry like the Sahara?

Cure for dry skin?

I have recently been experiencing unusual dry skin particularly on my face and have been searching for a remedy.  Yes, I have all the lotions and face washes to moisturize my skin however it just was not curing the problem.

One remedy which has helped me so far is using Olive Oil on my skin as a moisturizer or night time treatment.  Crazy right?! Well although combating oily/combo skin with oil sounds ridiculous it is actually an amazing remedy.  I realized that after using so many products which are oil free they have parched my skin of the essential oils it needs.  All you need is a basic type of Olive oil about a teaspoon or less and massage it onto your face.  I usually do this at night before bed and then I apply a tiny bit of moisturizer on top and I wake up with soft and smooth skin.  I have not noticed any breakouts from this remedy however you can also apply olive oil on your face before you shower and then rince it off accordingly.

Due to my location I cannot try any of those fancy face oils you get from Sephora but nonetheless this remedy has proven to work and probably much cheaper.  One of my friends also suggested grapeseed oil which would probably work as well.

Any remedies you have for your dry skin?  Let me know :)
