I have battled dry skin and won by a)showering, not taking baths)
b)not taking overly hot showers c)dry brushing before showering and d)udo's choice

I found udo's combo or a diet rich in omega-3s from walnuts, brazil nuts and almonds to work very well. You can forgo the udo's on days you get consume the nuts (make sure they are raw).

Hi Cathy

You might want to try botanical oils supplements. They provide a lot of good substances from within for the skin.

Also important is to have a good and healthy digestive system to absorb properly what you eat. That is important too and probiotics may help - do not go for the freeze dried or yoghurt - not effective.

Check out these links:

at the second site use "products/solutions" for easy navigation

If they produce migraines, which they should not do, there is also feverfew - must make sure these contain high levels of pathenolides. Caution: cannot take for prolonged periods - no more than 3 or 4 months and they may cause oral ulcers.

Hope this helps and is informative
Take care n keep well
