    Hydrating Body Recipes

    For skin that is dehydrated and taut or the most severe rough, dry skin conditions, here is one of nature's remedies.

    Body Scrub:
    1/2 cup fine sea salt
    1/3 cup body lotion
    Oatmeal Bath (found in most health food stores)

    Mix body lotion and sea salt. While in your shower, massage the mixture all over your body. You can concentrate on the problems areas: back of arms, elbows, knees, and feet. Then shower as usual with a cleansing type of body oil or cleansing gel. If you like to take baths, try an oatmeal bath.

    Important note: If your skin becomes extremely irritated, skip this step.

    Moisturizer:
    1/3 cup aloe vera gel

    While skin is still moist, apply aloe vera gel all over your body.

    Protective Barrier:
    Oil-based body lotion, cocoa butter, pure lanolin or shea butter

    Apply one of the above. Take your time with this application and work it into your skin. Concentrate a little more on the problem areas.
