Neha T. asks:
Hi ladies,
Need help. My sister has extremely dry skin. It is so dry that we can see a textured pattern on her hands at times. Can you people suggest a good body oil for such a skin?
Regards,
Neha

Even i suffer from extreme dryness in winters, been using Patanjali Tejus Tailam just after bath. Its great. Smell is a lil pungent coz of the chandan i guess. But i like it! The faint smell lingers even till evening. Ask ur sis to avoid taking bath in very hot water.
Thanks Riya, will surely tell her about it, she likes ayurvedic things a lot!
Try Forest Essentials shower oil….it has a beautiful vanilla fragrance and the body oil is very moisturizing too π
jomoli π π
Nupurizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
dry iskin k liye mitti ka tail kaisa rahega jomol π u use dat one only naa? π π
Waise furrfurriya from IMBB I got to know ki ghar saari vegetables- aaloo, piyaaz, tamatar, kheera, adrak, lassun etc. ka paste banakar lagana chaahiye…kuchh na kuchh to jaroor kaam kar jaayega π
Lol, haan true, tamatar has vit c, garlic has healing proprties n baaki sab sabzian bhi bahut gooonkaari hain, isliye kuch na kuch fayda toh awashya hi hoga π π π
You two are after me today…..main apne haathon se banayi soya chilli paneer bhejti hoon dono ke liye

Nahin Jomol ji nahin, aap hamari ek writer ke saath aisa nahin kar sakti π
Sanjeebjiiiiiiiiiiii…..aap haath aayi bakari ko bhaga nahin sakte…….
Nupurizzzzzzzzzzzz….mil gayi…humko…ting ting mil gayi
Thank you Jomol mam π
nahiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! π mujhe nahi chahiye π
jomol , aparajita ki above comment mei se nahi delete kar do π
hihih aparajita is new no.. she has no idea about jomol’s cooking. Aparajita try jomol’s chilli paneer … *evill greeiiinn*
nothing can beat good old mustard oil massage before bath π if your sis doesn’t like the smell of mustard oil, let her try pure coconut oil instead. both are very moisturizing. and if i haven’t scared u enough already, i heard massaging ghee before bath does wonders for dry skin too π
I agree wid aps totally and massaging the scalp with cows ghee can cure mental stress also. though applying it is a challenging task π
I totally agree with Aparajita! they really work!!!specially the coconut oil is great for skin!!Continue apply throughout the year and your skin will glow!!
Thanks Aparajita & Poulami, even I used pure coconut oil..but that was for my hair π
you can try extra virgin olive oil. Can be applied after bath as well. Put few drops of oil in your palm, warm it by rubbing your palms and apply to dry areas.
Try johnson & johnson baby oil.It works like wonder, absorbs very quickly in skin.
No chip chip, very mild aroma.
it keeps my skin moist soft n smooth for 24 hrs. i have tried many body oils n lotions but
this works best
π Thanks a lot Swadha!
Olive oil is the best for plp with xtremely dry flaky skin. Use products that contain cocoa butter or shea butter !!! Hope this helped π
Thanks Sharmila & Shriya, but she’s already tried figaro..and it’s not working..I think the other option might be useful!
Try J&J oil gel after every shower.. it is the best for dry skin.. it is available in shops that sell imported goods in india.. π
Hi all
My friend too had super dry skin and two things which she uses religiously help her wade away winter woes… figaro olive oil before the bath and after bath, in semidry skin, biotique carrot seed after bath oil…
I have seen her skin becoming so soft and supple!!!
Why moderation? π
You can try Johnson’s baby oil. Apply it immediately after the shower on wet skin. Or apply the oil before the final rinse. Helps to spread it evenly. Works great. No stickiness either.
forest essentials orange and cinnamon . Loving it. i have very dry skin as well π
u’ve already got all good suggestions…
even i’ve extremely dry skin.. no matter what season it is.. even in summers i have to apply oil .. my dermatologist suggested me :
1. after having bath..apply “Mustard oil” and then rinse with lukewarm water..or “vitamin E OIl”.. or “coconut oil” for very very dry , very dry ,and dry skin respectively..
2. use “Parasoft Soap” or “Pears ” only.
3. “Parasoft cream” on DRy patches only.. its very very moisturising..
4. NeVer use loofah and any scrubber.. it will only worsen your condition..
5. Use cold cream after everytime you wash your hands..
I hope it will help your sister..
