What should be done to dry skin on face?

Hi I'm Izabellz, I was wondering, what should be done to dry skin on face.

My face is really dry, well I guess it soaks in the creams which are applied.

I get pimples on a regular basis and they just seem to keep coming.

My face feels like rubber and I really need some herbal things which I can use.

Is it true that fruit can help?

I've heard that people apply fruit to their faces and their face becomes soft and smooth.

But how do you apply it? Do you just get a banana, peel it and stuff it on to your face? Don't get me wrong but I need something quick and please if you have any experiences, list them :)

I have a dream, people...

Thanks in advance, and I promise immediate 10 points to the one who gives me a good answer!!

    i had the same problem.

    you should exfoliate once every three days (i use the whole aloe range from the body shop)

    you should use a good toner - daily (again the aloe stuff)

    you should use a daily soft facial wash - daily

    you should use a good moisturizer - daily (again the aloe stuff)

    moisturize in the morning, then again around noon (on your lunch break maybe?)

    you don't need herbal 'things' - you just need a good routine.

    your pimples should disappear over time, or use a drying out liquid, this will dry out the infection in the pimple, get rid of the oil and reduce the pimple overnight to nothing.

    the best fruit to use is tomato!

    this helped me ^

    best of luck, and remember - don't over moisturize, this will just make your skin greasy/oily and cause more problems for you.

    peace.

    It might sound strange, but drinking plenty of water, (1 to 2 liters a day) really helps to hydrate the skin from the inside. Fruit and natural thing are often better than the chemical concoctions that pass as moisturizers. Mash an avocado and smooth it on your skin, leave for 20 or 30 minutes and rinse with warm (not hot) water and you will be surprised at the result. Organic avocado or apricot oil is well worth trying and avoid washing your face with soap. Aloe Vera directly from the plant works well and is cheap. The plants grow in the garden or in pots so you can always have your own supply. Cut the leaf down the middle and scrape out the clear gel. avoid the greenish gel.Try to find certified organic skin products as they won't contain chemicals that actually dry the skin.

    Izabellz, simple for your dry facial skin recommend what I use; Cura Serum by Isabella Pelle. It's a highly concentrated facial lotion with the highest concentration of the best moisturizer known to date; hyaluronic acid. I apply it twice daily, in the morning after washing my face, and at night after I shower. Second use a mild facial cleanser like Olay foaming. Never use soap to wash your face. Third, drink min. of 3 glasses of water to keep your skin hydrated. Hope this helps.

    I do not know of any fruits applied directly to the skin that will work. So I cannot recommend that.

    Try an exfoliant by means of Ambi and Palmers Cocoa Butter with Olive oil. Works like a attraction for me. I are living in Minnesota and it will get sooo bloodless, accordingly I get sooo dry. My epidermis, hair, the whole thing! Anyways, take a look at that t must paintings for ya.

    Just exfoliate and moisturize. Exfoliate twice a week (or once, depends how sensitive your skin is), and moisturize every morning before makeup and every night before bed.

    Don't bother with fruit and oatmeal and other junk on your face. Just buy a good exfoliator and moisturizer...

    drink plenty of water, exfoliate at least once a week. Use products geared towards dry skin, like Ponds.
