• Olive Oil ~ a staple of Mediterranean cooking is also your best friend for chapped elbows, heels, knees and cuticles. Rub a generous amount on your skin, wait 20 minutes and shower off with tepid, NOT hot, water. For a good exfoliation, mix 2 parts brown sugar to 1 part olive oil. Mix well and rub in a circular motion. Rinse in tepid water.

Dry skin has a low level of sebum, can be prone to sensitivity, has a parched look caused by its inability to retain moisture, and feels tight and uncomfortable after washing.

To name a few essential oils for dry skin care are Geranium, Lavender, Chamomile, Hyssop, patchouli, Sandalwood, Rose, and Ylang-Ylang.

• Calendula and comfrey have properties to soften the skin and can be used in a facial sauna or to make herbal or floral waters. Comfrey tends to lessen redness and soothes irritated skin.
